1W ISSUE OF

SAYS REDFIELD
Tumalo Project Requires
$100,000 More, Estimated
BOARD TO MEET SOON
Hetllcrs Told by b'nglm-er of ScccnnU
ty for More Fundi to Meet Ail-
vanccd Coitit Lower Speci
fications Alternative
With $200,000 still remaining of
tlio original $550,000 bond Issue vot
ed to finance development of the
Tumalo Irrigation district, tho name
of which has since been changed to
the Deschutes County Municipal Im
provement district, tho need for float
ing bon,ds amounting to $100,000 Is
faced. This was the statement mado
Tuesday night by Project Engineer
C. M. Redfleld at a settlers' meeting
held at Tumalo. The question Is ex
pected to be taken up by the district
directors at their next meeting, to be
held next Tuesday.
Tho completed project, Redfleld
said, will mean tho expenditure of
some $80,000 In addition to the
funds now on hand. This, In con
slderation of the irrigation district
bond market, will mean an issue of
$100,000.
Increased Costa Seen
Increased cost of lumber and steel,
necessity for deeper excavation of the
feed canal from the Deschutes to the
main Tumalo canal to insure perfect
safety in the diversion system, and
the demand of the forest service for
Immediate clearing of the timber
bordering the edge of tho Crescent
lake storage reservoir, a task mean
ing the expenditure of $10,000, are
the chief reasons for the additional
expense, Ttedfleld said. Original 'en
gineers' estimates were also some
what low,, he. said.
If the needed funds aro not sup
plied, lowering of specifications will
be necessary, and this Is a course
which be Is advising strongly against.
It would mean higher maintenance,
greater future expenditures, and
would be a constant htndrauce In
efforts to colonize the now unused
lands of the district, he emphasized.
SMALLPOX CASE
REPORTED HERE
Disease Makes First Ap
pearance Scarlet
Fever Decreases
Tho first case of smallpox to bo
reported In Bend this winter Is that
of John K. Anderson, who Is believed
to havo brought the disease with him
when ho arrived in Bend two weeks
ago. Ho is now in tho Isolation hos
pital. Report of a smallpox patient
at Powell Butte resulted In the aban
donment of plans for public gather
ings at- Christmas tfmo.
Every precaution will bo taken to
prevent the spread of tho disease but
local people are not likely to be
alarmed by its presence, as tew seri
ous cases havo occurred hero In the
past several yoars.
Tho number of scarlet fever pa
tients In Bend Is decreasing, only two
now cases being reported in the last
week. Vincent Clarno and David
Wcsloy Ersklne are tho patients. Tho
homo of II, E. Nordeen was released
from quarantine on Tuesday.
