Considerable opposition de veloped during tho past few' days, the result of sentiment In Ashland and the district south of that city, to the effect that tho Hyatt Prairie source of water supply will prove to be Inadequate. They designated It Is an experlpient for which they were unwilling to pay tho sum required to Install the system. The district engineer, however, had made a survey of the situation and filed a report as a basis for the Judgment of land owners in tho dis trict when It camo time to accept or reject tho Hyatt Prairie project plan. It appears from the vote of yesterday that a majority of those Interested In the Irrigation of the farms of the diBtrlct wefe willing to rely on the engineer's report as to the adequacy of tho supply. The result of yesterday's vote must now be ratified by the state engineer, tho state bank examiner and tho at torney-general, after a careful Inves tigation of the plans of the proposed Hyatt Prairie projoct, their roport to be submitted to the secretary of state, If favorable, for his certification Following this, the bonds voted will be placed on the market. The district board of directors will then sell the bonds and let the contracts for the work. If the state committee's report be unfavorable a revised plan will have to be submitted to the voters of the district for their adoption or rejec tion. ; , . .
