Problems of Smaller
Governmental Units
Discussed At Meeting
Executives of two irrigation
districts and a rural fire pro
tection district discussed the
problems of small units of gov
ernment this morning at a cham
ber of commerce committee
brealrf ast.
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.
