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.
