L DECISION IN REGARD TO DITCHES Property Owner has right to exercise power of eminent domain, use of water for Irrigating being re garded as public matter Desert land ontrymon around Iknd will be interested in an opinion rendered by Attorney General A. M. Crawford in regard to right of way for an irrigation ditch across pri vate property, without the permis sion of the owner of such property. In reply to a requoat for an opinion from Judge H. C. Ellis, Mr. Craw ford quotos chapter 238, Laws of 1911, as follows: The United Stales, the state or any person, firm or corporation shall huvc the riht of way across a nil upon public, private anil corporate lauds, or other rights of construction, malntenencr, re pair anil use of all necessity reservoirs, dami.watiPKates, canal', ditches, flumes, tunnels or oilier means of occurin, stor intf and conveying water for irrigation or for any other beneficial pnrpoc, upon payment of a just compensation for such. Inferring to this law Attornoy General Crawford Bays: Said section as amended by Implica. tlonat least makes the use of water for irrigation purposes a public use, and if the court should so hold the meaning of the section, then the right of emi nent domain could be exercised, and where it is uecestarv for a person to cross the lands of another with a lateral in or der to irrigate his own lands, he could bring suit in the Circuit Court, have the right of way condemned and pay what ever the jury assessed, provided he was unable to agree with the owner as to the compensation. That is the only section that I find now which attempts to define a public use when applied to appropria tion of water for irrigation purposes, i i Engineers' Supplies.
