' - j r A new policy- that may lead to the reorganization of Irrigation districts and a substantial saving to the state was predicted Wed nesday after the state irrigation securities commission rejected three out of four applications pre sented asking for an extension of the state guarantee of interest on Irrigation bonds. An extension of a year and a half of the state guarantee of In terest of $650,000 of bonds issued by the Tumalo irrigation district met with unanimous approval of the commission. It waa pointed out by T. B. Kay, state treasurer, that the status of this district was different, from the other -fathat the state was responsible for! a large number ot settlers locating on the lands. The extension Is contingent upon the district levy ing an increased assessment from 25 to 40 per cent on lands having partial water rights and the repair ot the dam. Reports from Rhea Luper. state engineer, showed 100 settlers on he district with 4500 acres if irrigable lands. ! Extensions asked by the Silver Lako irrigation district on $275,- 000 of bonds for one year; the Eagl Point irrigation district In Jackson county, on $4 00,00 n for one and one-half years, and two applications by the Lone Pine Irrl gatlon district in Crook county. $95,000 of bonds for two and one- half years and on $94,000 of bonds for the same period, were rejected The history or the Tumalo dis trict was briefly outlined by Mr. Kay. who concluded his remarks with the statement that the state owed a moral obligation to the set tlers on the project. . j The commission went on record as favoring a proposal submitted by Col. E. M. Place-in connection with the reorganization of the Sll ver Lake district. Place said It was his plan to assess the bond holders of the district 10 per cent and use the boney to acquire the land through the purchase of de linquent tax titles. He said the bondholders then would develop the lands within the district and sell them to settlers at a definite figure. In payment for the land the bondholders would accept part of the annual crop, until such time as the settlers were in a position to meet their obligations on a cash basis. Through such a plan. Colonel Place predicted that the settlers now in the district would not bo disturbed and eventually the state would receive every dollar it had Invested In the project. V Ire.
