Irrigation securities, if tbey are to find a ready market, must be backed by assets greater than tbe district It self or tb development of those assets' aa promised by an irrigation project, according to J. A. Keating, of tha Lum berman's Trust Company, who ad dressed tha Oregon irrigation Congress last night on "The Fundamentals of a Bond Issue." "I I Is necessary." he said, "to supple ment these assets by the support of Other credits. 'lu my Judgment, the credit of irri gation securities offered to the public must be baaed, not only upon the assets Included within the area of the Irrlga lion district themselves, but on assets Included In tha next larger political unit the state. Mr. KeallnaT said that the provisions of the Bancroft act. under which th city lends Ita credit to tba securities of an Improvement district, can readily be applied In a broader field, to cover tha securities of Irrigation projects. with the state taking th ssnie pots I tlon In relation to the irrigation district that the city Lakes to tha Improvement district. alas; la Pal led Oat. Thla Is. In essence, the principle of state guarantee of Interest on Irrlga lion bonds which Is being so strongly advocated by tha Irrigation Congress. Besides acting as banker and lend Ing Its credit to the Improvement dis trict, tha city attends to the collection of these assessments and handles th entire transaction in s workmanlike way." said Mr. Keating, outlining th workings of the Bancroft bonding sys tem. "Financial houses ar able to buy these bond on th credit of the various towns, without examination of the districts, and Oregon taxpayers have their street Improvements financed at much smaller cost than similar cities In Washington and California. "Tba machinery which has thus been created to finance the paving of streets In clues, can also bo used to finance Irricatlon projects: first, because tb people of tbe atata are accustomed to this device and will. I believe, approve Its oaa (or other purposes and, second. because such securities caa ba sold re. Illy. "Investors and underwriting houses ara accustomed to buying Bancroft bonds and tbey will be receptive to bonds similar to tba Bancroft, bonds. Issued for Irrigation purposes. Mr. Keating declared tbat he believed that the voters of Oregon will freely support s measure providing for tb development of a financial plan for ir rigation development such as ha outlined. Experts Aid Is Deaa-ribed. W. J. Kerr, president of tha Oregon Agricultural College, spoke on the as sistance the state college can give to Irrigation work by Its extension work, tba services of Its experts In soil analy sis and In other phases of agriculture, and by Ita training of Irrigation engi neers snd Irrigation farmers. He pointed out that a thoroughly equipped irrigation engineer must be prepared to consider tha agricultural problems aa well aa tha construction problems. If be is to be qualified to handle an irrigation) project successfully. Tha resolutions committee was In session throughout the evening; snd will present Its report today. It is renrded as certain that reso lutions will be brought In Indorsing th Jones bill snd the Smith bill, now be fore Congress, snd providing; for stepa to organize a movement for an initia tive measur providing for state guar antee of principal and Interest In irri gation and drainage bonds, as sug gested by Senator L N.
