MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD, ORG.

By L. L. NEWBRY
State Senator
Most of the so called "house
cleaning measures" have been
passed out of committee and
are in the process of going
through the House. We are
now getting to the real issues
of the session and are hold
ing hearings on the contro-
, versial matters.
The committee on local gov
ernment has proven to be of
extreme interest. This com
mittee has been assigned near
ly all of the bills having to do
with city and county govern
ment as well as the bills on
water and air polution. Most
of the measures to date con
cerning municipalities have
been non-controversial. The
: water and air pollution bills
are of extreme importance
and have consumed a consid
erable amount of time.
We have finished hearing
testimony on water and have
one more hearing scheduled
on the air problem. The testi
mony in regards to the water
pollution problem produced
I some interesting facts.
Beneficial Legislation
The legislation before our
committee will be beneficial
in controling water pollution
and will tend to minimize it,
but- the real solution in my
mind lies in the storage of a
. considerable volume of water
in the upper reaches of our
' rivers. These dams should be
"c constructed with the idea of
. maintaining stream flow dur
- ing periods of low water. This
is a new concept and one that
" is now being considered in the
t construction of dams by the
federal government.
It is difficult to evaluate the
benefits of increasing mini
mum stream flow but water
pollution is a matter of dilu
tion and the more water flow
ing the more wastes that can
be handled. ,
I think that we should start
. now to give serious thought
i to the concept of storing water
; for increasing stream flow.
: This is a natural resource that
, we have and it could material
l ly influence the growth of our
' area.. ' : :
Different Problem .
The air pollution problem
is somewhat different in that
there is at present no' way to
artificially increase air move
' mcnt. Here the solution lies in
Legislation alone which will
minimize the amount of pol
lutants and at the same time
recognize the very important
practical problem of provid
. ing the people with their ma
terial wants and needs
' through industry. '
There are, of course, many
things of interest to the peo
ple of our county going on
in other committees in the
legislature and I will try to
report on them as time will
permit. ,
' The life of a legislator is
i most interesting and reward
ing and presents a fascinating
challenge. I have received
' many letters from home and
', have tried to answer them as
' rapidly as possible.- It is my
' hope that people will contin
ue to advise me of their views
and opinions. I find them very
helpful.
