House Committee Starts Work On 2 Water Resource Measures By BILL FORCE . Uniied Press Correspondent Salem U.R) A House com mittee yesterday went to work on a pair of bills that would make radical changes in controls over the state's most valuable single natural resource water. Rep. Earl Hill, veteran Lane county, lawmaker and chairman of the House Commerce and Utilities Committee, declared the bills were among the most vital that will be considered at this session. The companion measures would create a State Water Re sources Board with broad powers over the use and con servation of water in the state and would create a statewide ground water code replacing the present code which applies only to eastern Oregon. Would Supplant Commissions The proposed board would supplant the present Willamette river basin commission and the Upper Columbia River basin Commission. It would take over Hydro-electric Commission, the many of the duties of the State State Irrigation Board and the State Reclamation Commission. Frank McCulloch, Portland at torney who served as a member of the state water resources com mittee which drew up the bills, explained they were based on the philosophy that all water in Oregon belongs to the people and that it is simply loaned to users, not given to them. ... ,t A hint of the opposition pro ponents of the bill might expect came from Rep. Harvey H. De Armond, Bend Republican, who said he agreed with the objec tives of the legislation but felt that time-honored adjudications and water priorities should be protected. He added that the bills seemed to contain an un lawful delegation . of legislative authority to an administrative agency. Their effect, he pointed out, would be to create an en tirely new state water law. ' Powers To Avoid Conflicts McCulloch explained to the committee that the proposed water board was given broad and overriding powers to avoid CQnflicts of jurisdiction in water matters now evident between several state boards and ag encies. , Controversies such as the Pel ton dam battle would never have reached the Legislature as in the 1953 session if the proposed measure had been in effect, he said. McCulloch asserted that many state boards and commis sions have broader powers in the, water field than are consist ent with their functions, such as the Fish and Game Commission and the Hydroelectric Commis sion. In the event of conflicts of interest, the water resources board would have the power to hold hearings and reach a de cision. In reply to Pe Armond, Mc Culloch assured him that the 1909 water code in eastern Ore goo would be presuhied to stand intact under the new code. Prior ities now in effect would be pre served except in emergency cases when beneficial use would take precedence over priorities. Sources of pollution could be cut off without regard to priori ty. The bills would establish the right of the state to upset past adjudications and priorities ; in the public interest. . t McCulloch also warned that the board should be backed by an - adequate money appropria tion. Rep. C. Allen Tom (R Ruf us), one of the sponsors of the .bills, estimated the proposed board would cost $125,000 to op erate the next biennium. It would replace boards and com missions now costing some $150,- uuu. In the search for oil and gas, the Texas J petroleum industry spends an estimated $60,000,000 annually for geophysical explor ation. ' : : For the first time in dryer history.
