In addition to these F. G. Shepard of Michigan, who had a judg- ment against the irrigation district, was present at the deliberations yesterday. While the negotiations were in progress the people of Tulare took patriotic.ac- tion. The money to liquidate the bonds was providsd for by an assessment. There was some doubt whether all the money would be on hand promptly on October 1, which was set as the day for making the payment and recelving the canceled se- curities. A meeting was held in Tulare and in a very short time the sum of $10,- 000 was subscribed to insure the payment at the prescribed time. An additional sum was also pledged tn be available if it were needed.
