Norblad Requests
Public Hearings On
Power Application
Governor Norblad Tuesday gent a letter to State Engin
eer Luper insisting; that publio hearings be held before action
taken on applications of power companies for water rights
on Klamath and other Oregon streams. It is presumed that
the governor has reference mainly to the applications of the
caiuomia-uregon rower company w
for rights on Klamath and North
UmDO.ua rivers.
Contemplated developments oi
that company at five places on the
Klamath are estimated to cost a
total of over $27,000,000 and at seven
places on the North Vmpqua over
$29,000,000.
My attention has been cauea to
the fact that the question ot the
lease of some valuable power rights
on the Klamath and other rivers of
Oregon is now before you for dis
posal, the governor writes.
