Proceedings to be instituted in test case by irrigation firm
A Yakima Herald interview with Henry J. Snively outlines planned legal action for Sunnyside canal and Selah Valley holders to challenge maintenance fund practices. Snively argues the fund is a trust for ditch upkeep and urges statutory fixes, citing alleged overcharges and prior water allotment disputes. He predicts possible legislative relief if elected officials align with settlers, and hopes maintenance costs drop to 25 cents per acre.
