City Appropriates
Funds to Obtain
Title to Property
The Medford city council last
night appropriated S6.000 from
the emergency fund to complete
transactions which would give
the city a merchantable title to
property in the Camp White
area.
The city obtained the land,
composed of about 1,000 acres,
from the War Assets administra
tion in June, 1949, on a 100 per
cent discount basis with the
stipulation that it be used for
a refuse disposal area.
The quit claim deed listed two
prerequisites for the city to
secure abrogation. They are:
1. Payment to the government
of the unamortized portion of
the 100 per cent public benefit
allowance granted the city from
the fair value of $12,917 which
would be amortized at the rate
of 5 per cent for each 12 months
of operation.
2. Approval by the govern
ment. j City Manager Robert Duff
noted that negotiations have
I been carried on with the depart
ment of health, welfare and edu
cation for a two-year period. The
government has agreed to accept
I 57,390.20 to abrogate conditions
in the deed.
The $6,000 emergency fund
appropriation would be taken
from this year's budget, and the
remainder of the amount neces
sary, $1,390.20. would be ap
propriated in the 1957-58 budget
so the city may obtain a clear
title to the land.
Location of Property
The property is located on the
west side of Table Rock rd. and
south of Kirkland rd.
Mayor John Snider was au
thorized to execute the abroga
tion. Among conditions which were
to be met were that in no case
could the property be sold or
leased without the written con
sent of the government; in the
event conditions were not met.
the government would assume
full ownership; and that in a
national emergency, the govern
ment could obtain full and un
restricted possession of all. or
any part of the property includ
ing any improvements.
A portion of the property is
being used for a refuse area.

Maneuver Seen
Attempt To Swing
Votes in Congress
ODM Officials Accept
Request by Company
Washington r The Sen
ate today approved a bill io
authorize construction of
"high" dam at Hells Canyon
on the Snake river.
The vole was 45 to 38.
The bill still must be ap
proved by the House Interior
Committee and then passed
by the House itself.
Washington OPi The Of
fice of Defense Mobilization to
day accepted Idaho Power Com
pany's request that its applica
tion for fast tax write-off privi
leges on its Hells Canyon pri
vate power project be can
celled. Seen Bid for Votes
The company filed the ap
plication Thursday as the Sen
ate debated a bill seeking to
authorize a government high
dam for public power, flood
control and conservation to sup
plant Idaho Power's program.
Democratic senators charged
then and again today that the
company gave up the write-off
in an attempt to swine congres
sional votes against the federal
proposal.
ODM officials discussed the
cancellation at a conference this
morning. A spokesman said a
telegram had been received
from T. E. Roach, Idaho Power
president, withdrawing the ap
plication. Inquiry Promised
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.
Tenn.), chairman of a Senate
subcommittee which has been
investigating the "write-off, said
the inquiry will continue. He
sent Roach a telegram asking
him to "wire immediately the
names of officers of the execu
tive branch of the government
with whom he or other com
pany officials discussed the can
cellation. In the Senate, meantime,
Sen. Arthur V. Watkins, (R.
Utah), asserted the company's
decision had deprived the Demo
crats of their best propaganda
weapon in the current battle of
public vs. private power. He
said he would ask other private
companies in the Pacific North
west to follow Idaho Power's
example.
Neuberger Seei 'Ruse'
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.), branded the decision
of Idaho Power Co. to give up
its fast tax writeoff privileges
as a "ruse" to defeat the con
troversial Hells Canyon bill.
Neuberger and other public
power advocates questioned the
motives of the company, in
taking the step at a time when
the Senate was nearing a vote
on the Democratic-sponsored
bill to have the government
construct a single, high, power
and flood control dam in the
canyon.
Dami Authorized
The Eisenhower administra
tion already has authorized
Idaho Power to build three privately-owned
low dams in the
canyon on a stretch of the
Snake river between Idaho and
Oregon.
To help the company in the
project, the administration also
granted it the fast tax write-off
privilege a step which im
mediately created a heated con
troversy. ,
