A total of 115 irrigation
districts were reported in
1960 when State Controller
Alan Cranston issued the report on Financial Transactions Concerning Irrigation
Districts of California for the
Calendar Year of 1959. Area
of irrigation districts lie in
32 of California's 58
counties,
"Hardly a comer of the
globe remains where the reputation of California as a
leading agricultural community has not reached,"
Cranston said with reference
tohisreport on the irrigation
districts,
"Much of this eminence is
the result of a fortuitous
combination of nature’s elements -a fertilesoil,
abundant water, and a benevolent climate."
Then he paid a special
tribute to irrigation districts ,
"But the mind and hand of
manhave contributed in
large measure to California's
exalted rank as an agricultural center. It has been his
efforts and ingenuities that
have brought the water to the
soil and distributed it so that
the greatest benefits would
be produced,"
The genius of the irrigation district act was that it
provided a means for groups
of landowners to organize
democratically and to
finance the water works
necessary to irrigate the soil
and make it highly productive. Such districts can
levy assessments on the land.
within their boundaries, they
can charge users for services
for water and power, they
can bond themselves, and
they can plan, construct and
operate projects, What irrigation districts have
wrought withthese powers
have caused visitors to come
from many a far away land
to study them andto marvel.
In recent years many
special districts have been
formed, such as Water Storage Districts, County Water
Districts, Metropolitan Water
Districts, Municipal Utility
Districts, andothers, but
the irrigation district is the
backbone of rural improvement in California. During
the period of the first half of
this century it would have
been difficult to find a more
constant and forceful inuence on the development
of farming in California.
Many irrigation districts
in California and elsewhere .
ran into financial difficulties
in the great depression, but
that type of trouble at that
time was not confined to
irrigation districts. The experience since the early 30's
shows that there is no fiscal
weakness inherent in the irrigation district, If the
farmers are broke, however,
their institutions are apt to
become insolvent, too,

feasibility of the plans and
the financial soundness of
proposed borrowings, This
reform provides additional
protection to investors in
securities of irrigation districts, No financial weakness
of California irrigation districts was disclosed in the
controller's report for 1959.
Quite the contrary, his report showed that as a whole
the irrigation districts were
in good shape.
The irrigation districts had
a term indebtedness at the
start of last year of a total of
$199,732,156, a fifth or a
fourth of it composed of
long term repayment contracts with the United States
Bureau of Reclamation,
About 85 of the districts:
