Kay Opposed to Extra Expense - Taomas B. Kay, state treasurer,- and member of the state' re clamation commission, pointed out that the proposed' special leg islative session, even though it completed its work .within a week, would cost the taxpayers of Oregon - approximately $St,000. Iacase of a mere prolonged ses sion, the expense might be in creased to 910e,000,(Kay said. 'The argument was advanced by Mr. Kay that the state engineer, who administers the water code, Iran employe of the state recla mation commission, and that this commission would not exceed lis authority In ordering that action en all applications for water pow er rights now on file, be deferred until after the regular legislature session next January. Eren though mandamus proceedings . were filed to- compel the state engineer to act on these applica tions, it would require sereral months for the courts to hear the cases and hand down decision. Kay declared that he was rea dy and willing to go on record favoring delay on ill water appli cations now on file in the of fice of the state engineer until the legislature has convened la Janu ary. Whether other members of the state-, reclamation commission would agree to such order eeuid not be determined here Friday. The reclamation commission Is composed of the governor, secre tary of' state and state treasurer. CHICAGO, Aug. J2. (AP) Rear Admiral Richard E.
