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. ' : :
