Kreutzer, government reclamation expert; here to make a report on conditions in the Lower Klam ath Lake basin. . ' ' , . ;, The. problem has to do with the rapid industrial "de velopment of Klamath Falls in such a manner as to bring ,' city, homes and industries onto lands of the Irrigation ; district. , ' This has resulted in a peculiar condition, according '(o A.; iM. Thomas, secretary of the district. City, dwellers, who make their living in Klamath Falls are owners of email tracts of acre size or less on which they build their homes and on which are planted small f gardens. These small tracts are on lands of the Klamath Irri- gation District' and the owners of them are entitled to a voice in irrigation affairs of the district. None of, them are especially interested in irrigation "problems and most of them have nothing in common with' the 'farmers whose welfare is wrapped up in the :: conduct of the district. - ; . Krcutzer is to be asked vp aid in unraveling the tangle.
