Show H MEETING OF THE IRRIGATORS. H The meeting of the slock- H liolders of the Lehi Irrigation H company, held Monday in the H meeting house to hear the financial H report for last year anil elect n H new board, was a stormy one, and m quite a discussion was created B over the resolutions intioduced to B give the control of the water in H the city into the hands of the city H council instead of leaving it to be H controled by the irrigation com- H pany was not discussed as fully as H it ought to have been. There E may be some points in favor of H such a change, but there arc many H against it. The intermingling of H corporate powers is a thing that H should be avoided as much as H possible for the reason that it is a H nice point to determine just when B nnd where one should begin and H the other leave off. If the slock- H Iio'dcrs of the company are ready BBI nnd willing to stu render the ron- B trol of their water rights to the H city oflicers they should meet and m disincorporate. IE they are not B then by nil means they should'not H begin breaking up their corpo- BBB ration by concedeing a part of H their rights, because, just as soon B as they do such a thing it brings H into operation another set of of- BBB leers which they will have to deal B with, nnd from all appearences H they have nil the trouble uecessnr) BBS with the one set. This subject U H of vast importance to the farmers BB and irrigators and wisdom' would BB say, it should be discussed dis- BBB passionately and then such moves H made that will prove to be for BB the best interest of the whole BBj company. The new directors BBj chosen arc men of good standing BB in the company and we believe r their ability will prove to be eqwl BH to their duties. Their location B in some instances may not be B the best, but each director should m see that the district he is chosen BBj to represent is given its full rights BBj nnd should see that no stockholdei BBJ suffers for want of his i ightu be- BBj ing looked after. He should sec BBj that good w.ilermasters are up- BBJ pointed on the several ditches and BBj they should look after the interest BB of those who are located on thost BB ditches. The location of a stock- BBj holder ought not to make nn BB difference in regard to his wntei BB rights in the company, nnd nnj BB man who would discriminate BB ngainst one as in favor of tbf BB other is not fit for n director. |
