Light shines on the mystery of tho recall of the irrigation' director, al luded to In yesterday's Ifernld , It appears that last Julr certain persons la the Horsefly Irrigation district proposed to recall Wllllsirt Irwin, one of the directors. , . " T? advice of Win.-Duncan, district attorney, was sought and he advised tbat4he law made.no provUion for recalling am Irrigation-director. He took the matter up with tho state'tJ( torney general last July Cth, and the attorney general's office is Just now rendering an opinion confirming bis attitude. The question was submitted to Percy N. Cupper, who discussed at longth the reasons why recall of an Irrigation director Is impossible. Tho first reason adranced Is that Irrigation district boundaries do not conform with the election precinct lines. Consequently It would be Im possible to determine the number of names needed on the recall petition.
