MONDAY, JUNE as 21926 EXCLUSION HEARINGS SENSATIONAL _ as attorney. THE NEVADA 248 4 SLCCEL CALIFORNIA The Nites Is Your Home i Newspaper ——— a = Se ee BOND HOLDERS GET INTO THE GAME The heures for the exclusion of certain Placer County lands from the Nevada Irrigation District got under way last Monday but were halted Tuesday morning just as the hearing was to commence on receipt of a telephone call froth the bond syndicate attorneys in San Francisco who requested a conference, which was agreed to. The following is a resume of the points developed at the first day’s hearing: At the outset of ‘the Monday, Mr. Chamberlain outlined his position, both as a landowner in the proposed hearing on opinion that the Distriet as an irrigation enterprise was not practical and that it was purely a power enterlands to be excluded prise in its conception and that its bands against the district but gem to see a way out. The main point at issue at the outset was the ruling made by the district’s attorney that the board was without power to issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of unwilling witnesses. This matter is not covered by law and the attorneys for the petitioners for exclusion indicated that they were prepared to go into court to test this opinion. Mr. Eddy stated that if the board was so impotent . that it was without power to bring in the full testimony that it was high time to find it out, and that the matters at issue are vital to the very life of the district. That the ‘nterest of the petitioners is one of self interest and self preservation. If the directors are able to avoid a land tax, that they wanted to help. Eddy stated that he was not here as well as the lands he. represented valuable power facilities are covered . He stated that he has heard that the directors had a proposition by the Pacifie Gas und Electric con. That if the” board had a possible sohition of the tract with the = District. under consideration whiclr would save the District from bankruptecy and that he and his clients wanted to show their willingness to ccoperate with the board if it had some feasible plan.

At this point, Mr. Wisker engaged in one of his beautiful word pietures and ‘stated that it was a basic assumption in California irrigation districts that bonds and interest charges would be floated by land taxes. That 45 districts in the state have a. land tax and 40 others have water tolls, showing 85 out of 87 distriets have a land tax. That if the lands in question are exctuded that they will still be subject to the outstanding bonds and interest: The exclusion, however, would save them from further taxes. : Mr. Eddy started in to puncture , the pleasant impression: by stating i that the Nevada Irrigation District than a power project and to speak of it as anythinz elese was an absurdity. That is was not basically an irrigation district ‘but it had been hoped that the po; wer revenue would plll it through. ,Eddy asked that the people be not led away with visions tliat are visionary and in telling of the experiences the Honcut and the wealthy people that had let their lands go to taxes rather.than try to keep them up, he was interrupted by Mr. Wisi ker who told him the board was not interested in hearing about those things and particularly about somiehing that had taken place elsewhere Mr. Eddy retorted ‘ that Wisker had started the thing with his rosy picture of other irrigation districts. After a spirited ‘intercourse, Eddy said that if his answer to Wisker’s statement was so hot that he could not stand it, that he would stop but that Wisker’s visions were drivel and rot, and that they had to contend with premoters and visionary people in his district. That in the final anthat a land tax was confiscatory. Wisker tried to shut him. off but the board gave him permission to conclude his statement <« = 2 on his saying that he wout!d finish in Modern Equipment Nevada Bs three minutes. “The crowd present Re he heed oecbenbecterdeape oles deste tetertetetertioteteteioptettetotetetedotetatetatetetetates: .

That he expects to prove that it is not economically possible to develop the Nevada Irrigation District as an irrigation district and that land taxes will be necessary. The attorney for the district held that matters periaininz to the inclusion of the lands were not relevant to the present hearing and clashes of counsel were frequent on this { point during the hearing. Director Schwartz stated that he wanted to see the petitions. Wisker said that the inclusion could not be annulled and Eddy said he disagreed on this point.

He recommended an order. granting exclusion to both . the Desmond and the Monihan tracts. Mrs. Anna L. Dobbas, the owner of the NW¥% in Section 12 and the NEY in Section 16 was next sworn. She testified that she irrigated her holdings with water from the Caperton ditch and that as the NID is not expecting to acquire that ditch from . the power company that she is entitled to exclusion. Mr. Wisker 1:ecommended her exczusion. Mrs. Dobbas said that at the time of signing she was told that all her neighbors were signing up and that sha might as well come in peaceably as to be foreed in. Mrs. Hattie F. Lewis of San Francisco, owner of land in the SW Of Section 33, in the northwest corner of the Placer county area, was next sworn. She stated that her land had always been used for grazing land . and was using no water for arrigation although the Camp far West ditch ran through her place.
