IX ASSESSMENT STATEMENT
Klamath Falls, Oregon.
December. 24,. 1923
Editor, Evening Herald.
In supplying the figures used la
the statement Issued by the Dlrec
ors of the Klamath Irrigation Dist
rict, published In the Evening Her
ald of December 2Ub. relative to
the per aero cost to ' be assessed
against district laflda for tho year
1924, I did not take Into account
a small acreage In the 3rd Unit
which will carry a charge of 13.84.
Therefore, the cost per acre
should have read "The highest
chargo per aero will be $3.84 and
the most of the assessments do not
run over 12.60 por acre.
In explanation will say that ap
proximately 70 per cent of the
lands In the. district aro In the 1st
Unit, and, while the cost pur aero
varies, a major portion carry a
cohstructlon cost of $ 1.08 per acre,
add to this tho operation and
maintenance cost of (1.34 and the
district chargo of 15.8 conts por
aero gives a total of $2,678 for all
charges on a major portion of tho
land In tho district.
Tho average aero chargo, all
lands In tho district, all charges
combined, for - tho yoar 1924 .la
J2.90. Same for tho year 1323 waa

The ovcrahclmlng vhtory of the
"wets" in the . recent election at
Queensland, wherein the voters In
favor of cnutlnunnco moro than
doubled their majority over tho clue
tlon of 1920, Is directly attributed
to tho fact that the liquor trado, or
public houses, volutarlly consented
to a curtailment of hours In which
Uinlr places of business were kept
open. i "
Until recent amending legislation
was passed the bars kept open from
t a. m. until 1 1 p. m. Thoro were
