This was the statement mado Tuesday night by Project Engineer C. M. Redfleld at a settlers' meeting held at Tumalo. The question Is ex pected to be taken up by the district directors at their next meeting, to be held next Tuesday. Tho completed project, Redfleld said, will mean tho expenditure of some $80,000 In addition to the funds now on hand. This, In con slderation of the irrigation district bond market, will mean an issue of $100,000. Increased Costa Seen Increased cost of lumber and steel, necessity for deeper excavation of the feed canal from the Deschutes to the main Tumalo canal to insure perfect safety in the diversion system, and the demand of the forest service for Immediate clearing of the timber bordering the edge of tho Crescent lake storage reservoir, a task mean ing the expenditure of $10,000, are the chief reasons for the additional expense, Ttedfleld said. Original 'en gineers' estimates were also some what low,, he. said. If the needed funds aro not sup plied, lowering of specifications will be necessary, and this Is a course which be Is advising strongly against. It would mean higher maintenance, greater future expenditures, and would be a constant htndrauce In efforts to colonize the now unused lands of the district, he emphasized.
