Judge Dismisses
Case; Presents
Reasons for Move
(Continued from Page 1)
"The reasons for the court's
opinions were:
"(1) If legislature had in
tended the statute to apply to
irrigation districts they would
have specifically mentioned
them as they did in connec
tion with school districts,
"(2) Irrigation district act
provides that a violation of
this provision is a misde
meanor, "(3) To make both acts ap
plicable would mean that di
rectors or other officers names
in the irrigation district could
be charged either by a felony
or by a misdemeanor in the
discretion of the district at
torney, which would, if the
two acts were combined, ren
der the act unconstitutional."
Ruling Concludes
The ruling concluded that
the "irrigation act is not ap
plicable to employees and as
the defendant is charged as
an employee, the indictment
does not state at crime under
the irrigation act and the
statute involved is not" applic
able the court must sustain
defendant's motion and dis
miss the case."
Following the dismissal Dis
trict Attorney Thomas J.
Reeder stated that the state
would study the ruling before
deciding if the case will be
appealed.
The law firm, Farrell and
Blackhurst, represented the
Eagle Point Irrigation dis
trict, and the Roberts, Kell
ington and Branchfield firm
represented the interests of
California Oregon Power
company and Flury.
Reeder presented the state's
case in the trial.
Civil suits involving the dis
trict and Copco, ' brought by
Mrs. Todd and other water
users of the district, still are
pending in circuit court.

Subdivider Suggests
Practical Test for
County Ordinance
Bud Hoover, Camp White
area farmer and subdivider,
suggested to the Jackson
county planning commission
last night that the proposed
subdivision ordinance be test
ed on his 70-acre subdivision
along Crater Lake highway.
Hoover said he did not un
derstand the proposed ordi
nance, and the subdivision's
variety of soil types, topog
raphy and roads would give
the proposed ordinance a
thorough, practical test.
The commission said it
would consider the proposal
at a later meeting. Coopera
tion ' of county departments
such as the health depart
ment and engineering depart
ment would be required, com
missioners agreed.
Attorney's Opinion .
In its opinion on the gar
bage ordinance, the district at
torney's office said the coun
ty is not an independent gov
ernment unit Or corporation,
but is a political agent of the
state with its authority origi
nating in state legislation.
Such legislation does not in
clude the necessity for such
an ordinance as the garbage
disposal ordinance, according
to the opinion.
Present state laws do not
control location of garbage
dumps as much as they do the
operation of them. Only re
striction on location is that
they be a quarter of a mile
from a dwelling or highway
and not pollute streams or
public water supply sources,
the opinion stated.
Such a proposal would
mean indirect zoning and
would not be valid unless it
comes with development plan
ning. Urges Action on Dump
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt, attending the meet
ing, urged that something be
done soon about the Jackson
ville area garbage dump oper
ated by the City Sanitary
Service. A Jacksonville resi
dent informed him by tele
phone yesterday morning that
the foggy weather had made
the odor "terrific," the coun
ty commissioner repeated.
A letter was read from
Stanley Jones, attorney for
City Sanitary Service, sent
about the time the dump was
established. The land - fill
method would be used. "No
burning is contemplated at
this time," ..'Jones stated in
his letter. ".
Such burning that is done
will be in accordance with

Praises Members
County Judge Miller
praised both present and past
members of the planning com
mission last night. He wel
comed the new members.
"This is one of the most
important tilings in the coun
ty," he commented. "How
ever, I would like to warn!
you that planning without
zoning will serve as a handi-'
ran' Vnn will Vic nnntmntA 1
with many problems impos
sible to solve. It is the general
obligation of the court, how
ever, not to interfere with the
program."
County Commissioner
Wendt said he agreed with
Stocks Reach
Record Highs
New York-OJPD-Stocks ad
vanced sharply today to new
record highs on increased vol
ume. The industrial average set
an all-time high and was with
in about four points of the
600-mark, a figure that not
long ago..seemed insurmount
able. Railroads were at their
best level since Aug 10, 1956,
a year in which the railroad
group came its colsest ever to
matching the 1929 high that
never has been surpassed.
Railroad shares outranked
all other groups in percentage
rise. Their gains ranging to
more than two points left
many of the issues at new
highs.
Industrials were helped up
ward by strength in metals,
chemicals, oils, steels, tires
and tobaccos.
