Attorney Swirskrg called attention to changes in the law authorizing the Financing act.

I Zngineer Short said that analysis had indicated that the first year would be the roughest, On the basis of the initial cost of $350,000 and with the demand for only 300 acre feet (conservative estimate) an override of $30.00 per acre foot would be required the first year or a tax rate of $4.00 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. The second year, based on a demand for 600 acre feet of water, and a jump in assessed valuation to $750,000, a $20 .OO override vould be req-zired aEd a $2.00 tax rate. At the end of the second year, Short said, the valuation would be raised sufficiently to justify carrying out of the second step of the program. In the fourth year, the override would be $15.00 with a tax rate of ED$, In the fifth year the override would be reduced to $10 -00 and the tax rate would remain at EID+. The tax rate would drop to nothing at the end of the nineteen years, He said there is no question about the feasibility of the Improvement but the matter should be checked with Rafferty. He noted that the first year's heavy payment would be mainly due to interest. Short said that during the' third year, with the completion. of the 2nd aqueduct, there would be 90 acre feet per year available if the District is ready to use it. He said it is planned to advertise for bid-s on the 2nd aqueduct next month and the water should be available to 0 by July 1, 1959. Director Ewald asked who could afford to use water at $58.00 per acre foot for agri- cultural purposes.
