HOOD RIVER, Or., Sept. 30 (Spe

NEW STATE BOARD URGED
Idaho May Hate Commission, to
Handle Irrigation Projects.
BOISE. Ida, Sept. 10. (Special.) At
a conference of engineers from all parts
of the state held in Boise last week It
was decided to draft a bill to be pre
sented at the next Legislature asking:
for the creation of a state board of
control to a4ve tUa state land board
of Irrigation project matters. It Is
claimed that with such a board more
time and attention could be given to
projects. The engineers present, many
of wflom are managing large projects
in the state and have supervised their
construction, favor legislation of this
kind.
Boise has felt the restrictions placed
by the Government on building. Some
time ago a bond issue of $90,000 was
voted for the erection of a new school
building. The bonds were favorably
disposed of and plans made to so ahead
with construction. The capital Issues
committee of the 12th District refuses
to approve the building on the ground
that it Is incompatible with the Na
tional Interests. The building there
fore will not be erected until after the
war.
