BOND LAW FOR IRRIGATION Chamber Committee Urges Certification Board Indornement of the general prin- ciple of the; bond certification law for irrigntion district securities now effective in California and Oregon is given in a report made by the “tate development bureau of the chamber and the trustees, The report says that adequate financing of irrigation, drainage, and diking districts will continue to| be seriously handicapped until the securities of such districts are, by state law, placed upon a parity with like securities of other states. The report adopted by the truss tees of the chamber suys the cer. tification law which should be enacted should provide: () That for the purpose of ad- ministering the law and of certify- ing district bonds there shall be created a certification board which shall consist of the attorney gen- eral, the state bank examiner and the state hydraulic engineer. (>) That the securities of any district that may desire to avail itself of the privileges of the law shall be certified by the board after thoro investigation and approval by the board of the project for which the bonds are to be, or hu been, issued. (co) That the securities, after cer tifieation by the beard, shall be coffe legally permissible invest- ments for the funds of insurance companies, mutual savings banks and for certain designated state funds, but investment of these state funds should, however, be governed by laws relating to these funds with tm sole purpose of protecting them.
