I wish to say that It Is only a question of time when this leak will be stopped and .the project pronounced a complete success," said Mr. West. "Should It develop that our state desert land board does not deem it advisable to proceed with the work of stopping the leak, I will be pre pared In the very near future, to sub- mlt, upon the part of very responsible people Interested In Irrigation devel opment In this state, a proposition to take over that portion of the system dependent on the reservoir and after stopping the leak to dispose of the lands and reimburse the state for the amount it has expended on this part of the project." It is known that a quiet investiga tion of the conditions existing at the reservoir has been made recently by responsible ajid well known engineers who are now considering the informa tion gained from this survey with the idea of making a definite and amply backed proposal to the desert land board to take over and carry the pro ject through to completion and suc cess.

Increase In the present tax levy from 23 mills to something in the neighborhood of 30 this year Is the prediction of at least two members of the city council. The general opin ion held by all Is that the general fund Is in need of replenishing to a much more liberal extent in order to care for maintenance of public utilities and provide special allow ances for fire protection, health pre cautions and similar conditions. The finance committee composed of Clyde M. McKay, E. P.

Mr. Brosterhous, speaking from his own viewpoint regarding the matter said, "I would be In favor of increas ing the levy two to seven mills as we need It in the general fund. It is very likely that special sums will be designated to be out aside for the 'principal public utilities this year in i order to assure that they will receive enough. We are putting in more fa icilities for fire prevention which will ! require a considerable expenditure during the coming year. This depart- ent has been handicapped by lack of money up to the present. The health, committee will also be cared for in this way.

"This doesn't mean that we should Increase the expenditures from the igeneral fund," he said, "neither does It mean that we should take tho money out In the way It has been done this year. Tho Ban croft act Is in shape now so that it mny be used to advantage and we should do that. Expenditures have been pretty light all round this year hut we ought to Increase the taxa tion for the benefit of a few needed Improvements and in consideration of the growth of the oity." Coinciding with thq general opin ion, Councilman John Steldl stated that much more money will be need ed tn order to keep up with the gen oral expenses, even though the pres ent conservative policy is carried out. He declined, however, to say any thing definite regarding It until af tor the next council meeting,
