oliero tho canal will go the extraordinary and expensive work ot llie firby deion completed the company will be ree to conduct the water to their customers wherever be anywhere on the areat tiia which from plymouth and on tho north advia on tha south will there be any difficulty in obtaining a right of way no I 1 dont think so the company lias already enough right of way to make bliem independent will yon lie able to supply every aero of land that can lie readied in the valley below with water from the canal the chow eliat are under abo canal almost two acres of land requiring water to one acro that can be supplied the excess of land oer the capacity of water ia fully acre BO that tha water rights which the company now offer at 3 per aero are really worth 20 and the company will command that sum within two eara if the water rights are really worth 20 per acre w by are you selling them at what would thus appear a very low figure our only reason tor offering aliese water rights at as per acro or for offering them at all at this time ii owing to alie fact that irrigation ties are comparatively little known in tha bast and in order to leave every move rapidly wo wish to build up a certain fixed positive valuation of water although it involves a groat concession hare you any contracts yet for water with the at the rate of 8 per acre yes bir so carpe a number of leavo already
