<br />'. <br /> <br />-( <br /> <br />women, on this Government luna iil the Impericl Valley. <br /> <br />For some ceuse or another this bill wcs nover passed. <br /> <br />The members Qf the committee came back, end the thing tempo- <br /> <br />rarily stopped. There was no more work' curried 00, up un- <br /> <br />til now. Recently tho Boerd of the Imperial Irrigction <br /> <br />District invited tho Amoriccn Lori-'n (;f Impo:!'icl County <br /> <br />to choose e delogato tv go beck with a dclo[ato rcpresont- <br />ine: tho Imperi:cl Vcllcy Irrigction District, and the Farm <br /> <br />Bureau of Imperial County, to cODstitute c committee of <br /> <br />three to go b2.ck tc W2.shioE, ton ['.l1d d~ all in our power to <br /> <br />holp put this bill across. <br /> <br />Our primary purpose in enter- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />inL into t~is t~ine: is to see thct ex-service men and women, <br /> <br />have profe:!'ontinl settlement rights un the l~.nd lying under <br />this proposod irrigution system. <br /> <br />We are not selfish in our interest, we think.
