District Bonds Attract Investors In Walker River District
The Walker River Irrigation District board in Yerington set a 10 cent per acre tax for current expenses and a 0.0268 dollar per hundred dollar assessment for the Alkali reservoir to be paid by beneficiaries. A major bond financing offer from a coastal firm, including a $10,000 cash payment, prompted discussion, with no firm action yet. Prospects for local subscription were debated, but past projects warn against depleting funds. Construction aims to begin soon, with Alkali lake reservoir usable in 1921. Engineer J A Beemer plans a survey of the east fork as the second project unit.
