The discrepancy Ilea In the omleilon
Lafferty appeared a the lawyer for a
number of the partlea mixed up in lb
37-10 case, lie ayi that It took two
daya to submit the evidence before the
Register and Receiver, and that It will
likely become time before they will ran
der a decision. Mr. Lafferty feel con
fident of winning the land for the tat
tlers
Advice have been received f roan IV atle
ington that the Secretary of the Interior
baa rejected all of the bide on the Clear
Lakedambecaote they were too high
and becauae the required amount of
land waa not algned for government Ir
rigation In the Upper Project. It ia
laid that both of tbe blda that were re
ceived by the Government are far ia ex
ceaa of ll eitlmat. The blda received
were Mahoney Broe.. at Ban FramcUco,
who bid 1116,770 on tbe two ecbedolee,
and by Maney Brother! & Co., who
bid 1188,980 on the two acbedolee.
The bigb bide and tbe fact that only
about 75 per cent of tbe land are
algned np, tbe Government demand be
ing" 80 per cent, are reaponlbto' for tbe
rejection of tbe bide. It baa not been
decided what action will be taken in the
matter. Tbe Service) may decide to
readvertiae for blda or it may, decide
to undertake tbe work by tore) aeeoaat.
However, until the reqntred per cant ol
land la algned up it ia not likely' that
any actual work will bo doaw oa that
part of tbe project.
Litigation Continues
