recommendation which the Joint
ways and means committee decid
ed upon last night at their final
meeting. ' ;".
Several farmers from the dis
trict appeared before the commit
tee and urged that the appropria
tion be made for 1 P0,0 0 0 ; but
the committeemen" could not see
this in view of the depleted status
of the finances.
' The claims of the farmers were
investigated by a committee ap
pointed by ex-Governor Pierce
during the- 1925 session "of the
legislature, and were presented to
the- ways and means committee.
Judge Duby, now a member of the
state highway ' commission, was
chairman of the committee that
made the appraisals: It was said
that the original claims aggregat
ed $140,000, but these were later
reduced.,
In event the bill carrying the
appropriation is approved 'by the
legislature the money will be ap
portioned among the various
claimants' based on ther actual
losses. The flood was said to have
resulted . from a ' defective dam
owned by a defunct Irrigation res
trict. ' Some, evidence, was present
ed to the ways and means commit
tee to indicate that the state was
In a small degree morally respon
ible f or the defectivp condition of
the dam. There also was evidence
produced Indicating contributory
negligence on the part of some of
the claimants. , None of the mem
bers : of the committee would ' ad
mit that the state was legally re
sponsible for the flood.
The claims approved by the in
vestigating committee -headed by
Judge Duby ranged from 100 to
several thousand dollars.'
""- The committee voted adversely"
to referring a bill to the voters of
Oregon at the next election appro
priating 5 0,0 00 for the erection
of a woman's building at the old
soldiers' home at Roseburg. This
bill was sponsored by the Wom

have the' endorsement of a large
