APPLICATIONS REJECTED
Silver Lake Project, Dor to Moral

Commission
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. i
An extension or a year ana a
half of the state guarantee of In
terest of 1650,000 of bonds Issued
by the Tumalo irrigation district
met with unanimous approval of
the commission. It was pointed
out by T. B. Kay, state treasurer,
that the status of this district was
different front the others in that
the state was responsible for a
large number of 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
of the dam. Reports from Rhea
Luper, state engineer, showed 100
settlers on be district with 4500

Lake irrigation district on 1275,

Eagle Point Irrigation district in
Jackson county, on $400,001 for
one and one-half years, and two
applications by the Lone Pine Irrl
gation district in Crook county,
$93,000 of bonds for two and one-
half years and on I94.00O of bondi
for the' same period, were rejected.
The history of the Tumalo dis
frict was briefly outlined by Mr.
Kay. who concluded his remarks
ith the statement that the state
owed a moral obligation to the set
tiers on the project.
The. commission went on record
as favoring a proposal submitted
by Col. E. M. Place in connection
with the reorganization of the Sil
ver Lake district. Place. said It
was his plan to assess tne 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
ell 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 he

would receive every dollar It had
