SAYS C. O. I. DISTRICT
' SHOULD VOTE BONDS
Hpaco Is glvon in thin issue of tho
Bulletin from a C. O. I. Co. project
Rettlor in which she urgen that tho
irrigation district voto bonds to buy
out thn company. Considerable oppo
fljlon,to tho proposed bond Issue do
'YoiifoM ' when tho Matter was' pro
pound a few months ago, andwllh'f
tho failure to havo' tho 'proposition
voted upon it scorned to havo died a
natural death. Interest in tha sub
ject has not wholly ceased, however,
an this communication Indicates. Wo
should bo glad to hear from others
who aro Interested, cither for or
against tho bond Issue.
To tho Editor:
After many painful years of slrug
glo It Is being borno in upon tho
settlors of tho C. O. I. project that
thoro is but ono means of perman
ent relief, nnd that is the elimi
nation of tho present company with
its unnecessary expense and Ineffic
ient servlco.
It In also becoming moro clear to
these samo fjcttlera that there aro
but thrco ways in which to accom
plish this elimination. Ono is to go
on as wo nro doing, hoping that samo
day tho company will becomo tired
of taking In our maintenance money,
will coase asking tho desert land
board for extensions of time, afid of
receiving continually what they ask
for, that they will In a sudden burst
of generosity turn over to us with
nil legal formality, tho cntlro pro
ject, unfinished and Inadequato as
It is.
It is entirely useless to appeal to.
tho desert land board for that body
Is rondo red Incapable by uncertainty
an to whether to do Its duty by the
eastern sharo holders who have Inves
ted largely In tho enterprise andhavo
lost heavily, or to glvo relief to the
settlers who are in no way to blarao
for tho stato of affairs, but who must
havo relief.
Wo havo also tho privilege of tak
ing tho matter into court to prove
that the company has no legal right
to monetary consideration for a
transfer of its holdings
transfer of its holdings. This meth-
0f grief and uncertainty for tho set-
This meth
tier and will in tho end be more cost
ly than any other plan that can bo
dovlscd. It will result in an entangle
ment with unsatisfied mortgages and
obligations of the company. It will
also Involvo us in a caso of research
whero all tho expert legal genius of
America can find no way out.
Tho simplest and easiest way after
all Is the bonding of the district for
tho amount asked by tho company for
tho transfer of Its holdings. This
amount, after rqonths of effort on tho
part of our directors and their at
torney, has been reduced from over
$900,000 to $200,000. Even this
seems a largo amount, to bo paid for
something that has already been
paid for Intho prlco of tho land
and ninintennnco funds, but wo find
ourselves fallen into a pit from
which thoro is no escape that Is not
severe and costly. It is simply a
matter of whothor wo shall pay In
cash nnd bo frco or go on In uncer
tainty year after year, paying In
sweat and mlsory.
In tho mcantlmo tho company is
taking advantngo of our period of
deliberation and soiling land right
and loft that should como Into tho
control of tho district and wo are cor
respondingly poorer In land and in
water, tor tho tlmo will como whon
wo will havo to faco a Water short-
ago if tho stato of affairs continues.
Let us bo agreed and work to
gether for what must be the good of
us all. Lot ua vota the bonds. We
cannot possibly be worso off than wo
now are, and tho chances are ten to
ono that wo will win out under our
own district management.
