be done in securing l.Ue to the proper

favor of the bonded district.
"There was soina ot-jectiun to buying
the prtsent difcb at all if tw district

present ditcb was purcnaeed it would ;
be by condemnation if a proper price .
could not be agreed upon afl r coinje-!
tent viewers had carefully estimated ,
the vmue of the property. .
It is stid that about 13.000 acres are ;

The stockholders presert showed
much interest in the matter, and
while there were many opinions of the
best remedy for the present difficul

clusion that a bonded district was the
best solution.
