July 21 188 Plans Laid for Santiam Forks Water Control District; Meet Scheduled at Albany Aug. 12 Landowners in the Santiam river region, of Southern Marion county and northern Linn county are organizing to -prevent further damage by flood, and to improve the agricultural uses of their properties, by taking first steps toward creation of a water con trol district. A petition requesting the Linn county court to order the organ- of the Santiam Forks ization water control district has been filed with the Linn county clerk by 25 Marion county and 133 Linn county residents who hope to include, about 16,520 acres of land within the district's boun daries. The first hearing of the petition is7 scheduled August 12 at 10 a.m. in the county court room at Albany, and all persons interested in the organization of the district or the fixing of its boundaries are asked by public notice to attend. The petitioners state that they own more than 20 per cent of the acreage of the land lying within the proposed boundaries, have raised $1,000 to pay court and organizational costs, and are en titled by a new water district law passed by the 1947 legisia iure to propose this district. They intend to riprap, clean channels and construct dikes, and to contract with a federal or oth er agency for building and main taining drainage, irrigation or flood or surface water control works. The petition states that substantially all of the land with il the boundaries will be bene fitted by such construction. , According to the 1947 law, the Linn county court will have juris diction over all lands in the dis trict without regard to county lines because 15,060 acres of the proposed district, by far the larg est share, lie in that county. Unless voters representing 20 per cent of the acreage ask for an election (thus indicating oppo- sition), the county court of Linn after the hearing can create the district and ask the land owners to elect-a nine-man board of directors to manage the affairs of the district. A water control district is de fined by law as a governmental subdivision of the state and a public corporate body whose rights include sale or lease of water for irrigation, levying of ad valorem taxes, creation of special assessment districts, bor rowing money, acquisition of property, the right to contract and td handle all works and im provements.
