Open letter to property owners and voters til the Rutch Creek Ifield Punu Imi Ami old River Arcus a Phi duo Moths of the scheme to Annex the water right areas it Fairfax Weed Patch Ireri Ifield and Panama to the Mcfarland-1 Maut i Didy District obtained signatures to tilt petitions in misrepresentation As to the kind of Bonds that could be issued under act fit Mil Hie promoters told the people that Revenue roads would he issued to pay for District operation while the Only Bonds that eau be issued Are general Lien Bonds Oil the property within the District. The supreme court decision a in that Point ended that method of fooling the people and the promoters have been forced to resort to some other prop Gamin. I icy Are now using the Story of the Modesto irrigation District and the Power companies. The owner of even acre of land which has a water right should realize that the Success or failure of the Modesto or any other District would he no reason to any sensible per son for the annexation of these valuable water right areas to a District of the character of the Delano Mcfarland District which has nothing physical or moral that would Benefit the areas pro posed to he annexed. Let us take Ila record of the activity of the promoters of this annexation scheme As a basis for illustrating Hakim of treatment property owners May expect if they Are so unfortunate As to become part of the ii District.

And that is just what we tire titling when we oppose this annexation scheme of landowners in these water right areas want a District of any kind then they should org unit anti control it. It is impossible to concent a program offering less benefits to Laud and to people than the Delano Mcfarl anti District offers to the lands anti to the people within these water right areas. \ ote a a not and retain control of your own water rights.
