LEWIS MEETS SETTLERS IDE WILL CERTIFY LANDS IF DESIRED Jlut ikltlow'lnco Irliv ttir Ale limto CtaiutK Alicml of WIMi Kor 1'ntcnlV tlmrnrtl Sijsi HiigU ncer'ii Contentions Utijitht, John It. Lewis. Stato Unglni-or. U on tho Tuninlo Project today, niul yesterday ho was here and Inspecting matters of interest on tho C. O. I. BOKroRuHon. Yesterdny attornoon Mr. JLcwts mot with a group of water users here and most ot the afternoon was consumed In n frcvfor-nll discussion. Many of tho old sores wore opened, and, as Usual on such occasions, little was accomplished except that those pres ent upon motion agreed unanimous ly that the Stato Engineer should In slut that sufficient canal capacity bo provided to Insure dollrery of tho contracted amounts of water before certifying lists of lands as being re claimed prior to their patenting. This camo up when Mr, Lewis, In effect, asked tho settlors If they want ed him to certify lands to patent when he believed the canals supply ing them with water were luadoauate ns at present constructed, to glvo alt tho lands they wcro supposed to care for the 1.8 second feet of water the settler's contract calls Tor. He pro fessed himself willing to make such certification. If tho settlers desired It, under the distinct understanding that tho.sottlors whoso lands were Involv ed understood his position and roa lized that whllo he certified to tho reclamation of their acreage he did not certify to the fact that tho canals Involved were sufficient to water, as per contracts, all of the lands under them. Thoso present saia tnoy ue Blred no certification under such conditions, preferring that the canal capacities bo properly enlarged now. A second resolution was adopted requesting that the Desert Land Hoard undertako negotiations with the company whereby the system would be turned over to the settlors ns soon as possible so that "all the ntoney paid in would bo npptied to the completion of the canals." Hayrt Capacity Inadequate. A patent IIU Involving 6.G43 acres under tho Pilot Hutte Canal Is now up for the Engineer's certification. It was to examine the ditches for this tract that Mr. Lewis made his visit. According to a statement of. Mr. Lewis, the North Canal roust have a capacity of 428 second feet to prop erly enro for tho 21,200 acres under It. reckoning in suepago loss nt no per cent, the figure apparently ngrood upon ns being correct Just now. Tho cannl. ns It now Is, says Mr. Lowls, cnrrlud about 2H0 Hecond foot. With out ninny Improvementa, according to tho Engineer, It la Inadequate for Its work under tho contracts and bo fore ho can properly certify to re clamation or InntlH under it thoso Im provements must bo made or tho con. dltlous of his certification ncropted b the Settlors Involved, says Mr. Lewis, "Troublemaker," Kiij" llowjiitl, This morning 'TliB.llulUtht placed tne matter by phono beion the at tention ot lloscoo Hmvnrd. ihannner of the O. O. t.nt IMwchutm. 'We have repeatedly shown In publb statements thnt we nr fully prepared to meet all the requirements of our contracts." said Mr. Howard. "This has never been successfully refuted by Mr. Lewis or any othor engineer who has considered the mutter. I fall to comprehend Just what Mr. Lowls Is nfter this time, unless It ho to stir up moro trouble" Mr. Howard, after going Into the tunny complicated features of the situation, said that he was decldodlv ot tho opinion thnt If Mr. Lewis said he wna willing to certify the pntont list under any conditions, his offer should bo accepted by tho sottlors. Later, he maintained. If thoro la any thing wrong, tho Federal authorities, boforo granting patent, will discover It and back up Mr. Lewis In his con tentlons if thoy bo Just. Mr. How ard also declared that so fnr as ho knew the settlors present nt tho meet ing were In no wise directly concern ed with tho lands under tho patent list ponding, which are near Torro bonne. Ho stated that If tho meet ing was held In good faith ho should have been notified. Among those present nt tho meet ing wero K. A. Grlflln and 1. K.
