The session, another in a series of tax study meetings of the chamber's legislative committee, heard reports from Jack Hoff buhr, manager of the Medford Irrigation district; his brother, Walter Hoffbuhr, manager of the Talent Irrigation district, and Dick Krupp, fire chief of the Central Point Rural Fire Pro tection district. Aid in Problems The irrigation district men re ported that work currently un der way to improve, repair and expand irrigation facilities' will go far' toward solving the prob lems of the districts themselves, as well as the acute need for more irrigation water on the val ley floor. Rehabilitation work on .the canal systems of the Rogue Valley and Medford. dis tricts, and the Talent project which will increase water sup plies for all three districts, will be of great benefit, they re ported. The rehabilitation work is al ready well started, Jack Hoff buhr said, with $232,000 in con tracts already let. Within three years all major water structures will be renewed at a cost of about $1,475,000, and a longer million-dollar project of reno vating canal systems will take 10 to 12 years. Growth Cited The Medford district had only some 4b0" water users when started in 1920, he said, a figure which grew-to 8C0 in 1943 and then more. than doubled to some 1,800, today. . The rapid increase in the last few years is largely the result of subdivisions and fringe de velopments, and poses a major problem in administration to the district, he indicated. The dis trict, as a result of this and of high maintenance costs, has the highest water assessments in the state, $14 per acre per year, but it is hoped this can be re duced as a result, of the ; work now under way, Hoffbuhr stated. Both districts have bonded in debtedness of just under $200,- 000 which will be liquidated in 11 or 12 years. Walter Hoffbuhr said funds for construction of the Talent project are expected to become available in July, and that the job can be completed in about four, years. It will result in some 5,000. additional, acres- of land under irrigation, as well as about 9,000- acre-feet ' of water available to the other two dis tricts. - - : - . Five District Problems Krupp listed several problems facing the directors of the rural fire district. These included op erating under budget limitations of a 4 mill levy and the 6 per cent limitation;' the necessity of improving and expanding serv ice as more homes and businesses were constructed in the district; filling the need, for fire protec tion in areas outside the district; constructing and equipping sta- tions to serve all in the 75-square mile district with no more than a 4Vfc-mile run; an increasing number of fire alarms (from 84 in 1954 to 147 in 1955); adminis tration of the district's fire code, as well as others. The fire protection offered district residents has resulted in residential fire insurance POINT O .mJ h7 A premium reductions averaging some 33 per cent, Krupp report ed. A second station and a seventh piece of mobile .equip ment are almost ready for serv ice, he said, and water supplies have been developed. Budgetary Limits The chief stated this progress has been made-despite budgetary limitations and without any bonded debt, without an increase in the tax base and without a special continuing levy over the mill basic tax. The budget this year will be close: to that of last year, he said, but a budget election "to - approve it will, be needed because the tax' base is too low to permit a realistic operating budget without one. In reply to questioning, Krupp reported there is some rivalry between the Central Point Rural and the Central Point city fire departments, and a duplication of expensive services. He said it would be to the mutual bene fit of the two groups, financial ly and from a service standpoint, to discuss their differences and work out a cooperative arrange ment for fire protection. .He stated he feels certain this is bound to happen sooner or later. Next week's committee meet ing, at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 17 in. the Medford hotel, will hear from representatives of two water districts and from the county school superintendent's office. The series of meetings will continue for some time be fore ' the committee starts nre- paration of its report.
