Ward County Irrigation District Letter Defends Davis Loan Credit
Charles H. Miller, president of Ward County Irrigation District No. 1, writes to correct a Pecos Enterprise item praising H. P. Davis. He states the district applied for the $63,000 Reconstruction Finance Corp loan in 1953, with Davis assisting only later, and that district efforts by directors and attorneys produced the loan, not Davis alone.
