Object to Free Use Of Water From Farmer's Ditch
 
Some of the water users in the Emmett district have been getting water from 
the Farmers' ditch ever since it was built in 1893 and have paid no water tax, 
claiming that the right to do this had been given them.  Others who had to pay 
for water registered a kick.  Monday the Wheel and Top committee went to 
Emmett and investigated the matter and as a result the parties were asked to 
show proof of their claim to free water, being unable to do this the committee 
ordered them to pay the same rates as other stockholders or quit using the 
water.
