TWO NEW IRRIGATION BILLS ONE, A TRIFLE OFF COLOR, CALLS FOR OPPOSITION Makes Water Companies Common Carriers, Subject to Management of Boards of Supervisors—Gives Non-Shareholders Rights to Run Water Through Ditches. Two irrigation bills have been introduced in the state legislature affecting water companies which are of vital importance to irrigators in this valley. Copies of these bills have been forwarded here by Assemblyman Melrose, who has asked the opinion of Mr. Keech of Santa Ana upon one, which seems to have a bug in it. Melrose and Keech are closely associated in the litigation between the Anaheim and Santa Ana companies on one side and illegal diverters of water up the river, and the assemblyman is keeping a close watch upon bills of this character. Both men pronounce one of the bills bad. It provides among other things that the board of supervisors may regulate the price at which water shall be distributed to stockholders of an irrigation corporation. The bill proposes to put the companies under this law. Owing to its poor construction its intent is not quite clear, but Mr. Keech sees in it the making of common carriers out of water companies, and therefore subject to the board of supervisors. Both were introduced Jan. 30, 1909, and were referred to the committee on irrigation. No. 947 provides for increasing the capital stock of irrigation corporations, and reads as follows: The People of the State of California, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Corporations organized for the purpose of supplying or delivering water to stockholders in such corporations only, may increase their capital stock and the number of shares therein by resolution adopted corporation, and to have the same livered to him by such corporal at any point along the line of corporations, canals or ditches he may desire the same for use paying to such corporation a reasonable charge for the distribution of, to be fixed as herein provided Where such rates have not been as herein provided until such are fixed such landholders should entitled to have such water delivered to him by such corporation payment to such corporation and one-third times the amountged by such corporation to its stockholders for the same se Sec. 2. This act shall take immediately. In brief, it provides that an corporation distributing water to stockholders must also deliver priated waters to persons of lands which may be irrigated its canals. For example, the company, or others holding land within the Rancho Santiago de Ana (the lines of the local station companies) might force ter to deliver on its ranch a storm waters appropriated by the companies would have no native. Others up the river also demand the same thing, the companies would have to with the demand. As stated above, the adoption the amendment would place the panies under the operations of approved March 12, 1885, which irrigation companies common o and subject to price regulation supervisors. The supreme court on Jan. rendered a decision in the case Wm: McFadden vs. the superof Los Angeles county in which held that the Anaheim company not a common carrier under which control it now. McFadden a stockholder in the company brought suit against the superto compel them to fix the price which water should be sold. The only thing that could pnon-stockholders from enforcing demand on a company to deliver propriated waters" would be a nation of the court declaring th No. 947 provides for increasing the capital stock of irrigation corporations, and reads as follows: The People of the State of California, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Corporations organized for the purpose of supplying or delivering water to stockholders in such corporations only, may increase their capital stock and the number of shares therein by resolution adopted by a vote of three-fourths of the whole number of directors in such corporation at a regular meeting and approved by the written assent or assents of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued capital stock in such corporation, which assent must be filed with the secretary of the corporation. The secretary of the corporation must address by mail, postage fully prepaid, a copy of such resolution to each of the stockholders whose names appear upon the company's books at his place of residence, if known, and if not known, then at the place in which the principal place of business of the corporation is situate, which notice shall be so mailed to such stockholders at least thirty days before the certificate hereinafter provided is made, signed, or filed as hereinafter provided, and within that time any stockholder may file with such secretary his dissent in writing. Sec. 2. Upon such increase of capital stock or number of shares being made in accordance with the provisions of section 1 of this act, there shall be made a certificate under the corporate seal and signed by the president and secretary of the corporation and a majority of the directors of such corporation showing a compliance by such corporation with the requirements of section 1 of this act and the amount to which the capital stock or number of shares has been increased, and the total amount of stock represented by the said written assent or assents so filed with the secretary and the total amount of stock represented by the same written dissent or dissents so filed and the certificate shall also state the total number of issued shares of the capital stock of the corporation. Such certificate shall be verified by the oath of the president and secretary of the corporation and filed in the office of the county clerk of the county or city and county where the original articles of incorporation of the corporation acting hereunder are filed and a certified copy thereof, certified by such clerk shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state; and thereupon the capital stock or number of shares or capital stock and Wm: McFadden vs. the superintendent of Los Angeles county in which held that the Anaheim company not a common carrier under which control it now. McFadden a stockholder in the company brought suit against the superintendent of the court declaring that companies are not common carriers.

Sec. 3. This act shall take effect from and after its passage. The other bill, which is really an amendment to the existing law governing water companies, refers to the regulation and control of "appropriated waters." It provides: The People of the State of California, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1.
