the prior fiscal year to La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley
Irrigation District, one of the unit public agencies of the Authority.

Automatic annexations

Such annexHtions to The Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California do not require the eon sent of, and do not involve an)'

boundaries of the Metropolitan Water District occurring subse-

boundaries of the District as sO changed, was filed with the State
Board of Equalization and with the county asse,"ors of t.he counties
of Los Ange]es, Orange. and San Diego. As noted below under the
heading "Taxation," the county auditors are required to certify
the assessed valuations of the property taxable by the District.

resolution levying such taxes. Therefore, the statement of changes
of boundaries was prepared in such detail as to indicate separately
all new areas for which the assessed valuations of property must
be segregated in the certificates to be furnished by the county
auditors in August 1949.
