SEVIER GHTS ADJUDICATION ORDKR PLACF.S SEVIER RIVER UNDER CONTROL OF COURT FOR TWO YEARS The long fight lo settle the water rights ot. the Sevier river virtually was conclued Monday when Judge L. II. Cox of the Fifth judicial district, sivned a UUl-pagj- decree which sets out in detail the use to which all water wa-ter of the Sevier river drainage system sys-tem shall be put. The case lias been officially known as Kichlands Irrigation Company vs. West View Irrigation ('umpn"ny, filed fil-ed April 29. 1919; it involves the prior rights to all water in the river and its drainage. Nearly 5,000 individuals indi-viduals and irrigation companies and some eighty five attorneys of record are recognized in tho decree. .Meandering River Tin; Sevier river heads approximately approxi-mately 40 miles south of Panguitch, flows throng Uarfield, Piute, Sevier, Sanpete and Juab counties before iYMiig used in Millard County. Fora-merly Fora-merly it emptied into Sevier lake, but, now, with usage of the water, it no longer flows that far south. It is said to be th only river that flows directly both north and south, and is likewise supposed to be the most meandering river in the world. Previous to the litigation the user.)' us-er.)' rights of the Sevier river water were constantly in controversy and had resulted in many physical com-hals, com-hals, shooting scrapes, and ill feeling feel-ing among the early settlers of the country. Following the filing of the case, Gsorge M. Bacon, at that time slate engineer, made an investigation investiga-tion of the river and issued a state ment of "proposed rights" that be came Known as liacon s Bible,'; . " Writes Order Hearings nave been held intermittently inter-mittently since that time by three district court judges and on January Janu-ary 11, 19130, Judge Cox issued a volume of 180 pages of proposed findings with orders that all interested inter-ested parlies who were not satisfied to appear before him to present arguments. ar-guments. These recently were completed com-pleted and resulted in saveral minor changes. Tn signing tho decree Judge Cox orders that the jurisdiction of the river remain in the court for a period per-iod of two years so that "errors omissions and inadvertences which may have crept into the decree" may be corrected. Administration will be by the river commissioners under the supervision of tha state engineer, but the decree is detailed so that little lit-tle is left to their authoriy. Tovcrs I'sage It specifies all prior rights, th9 amounts of .water, the dates the water wa-ter may be used, the points of diver sion from the river and the condition and location of all headgates. It also al-so provides that any water not put to beneficial use shall be returned to tha river ly the most feasible route and the owners shall lose title. Attorneys who have been inter ested in the case for many years be lieve it is the largest and most important im-portant irrigation case in the history of the state and possibly the nation. It is estimated that the litigants paid more than $500,000 in court costs, attornays' fees and other expenses ex-penses of the case. -Salt Lake Tribune, Dec. 2, 1936 BOYS ROOK AT LIBRARY D.
