Office is Expressed
Twelve prominent farmers on the
Klamath Irrigation district, compos
ing an advisory committee to the
district board of directors, express
ed deep concern yesterday after
noon over the financial problems
, w eh mUBt s0,ed efore tho
d9trlct bud(!(,t ,g ,eTleJ
The drec,ore laid a tno card!)

j on ,ne 0D0 ollnd that tho re.aIna.
i tion service had submitted a fljruro
of (16S.a09.S9 as its estimate of
the next year's budget, whereon on
the other hand there was a large
j delinquency outstanding In the dU-
i trict.
The committee submitted sever;.!
tentative recommendations to the
board which were not made public
today.
Financial Statement
The directors of the district sub
mitted a complete financial state
ment of the assessment conditions
of the district. The report disclos
ed that the delinquency problem
was very serious. For the years
1920-21-22-23, there yet remained
a delinquency on the tax rolls of
(73.750, which is a reduction from
(9S.000. The delinquency accrued
on the 1924 tax roil is approximate
ly (20,000 out of a total levy of
(72,974.30. This levy bad been
reduced by the district board for
1924 from (117,000, with tho ex
pectation of securing relief from
the reclamation bureau that would
assist in tbe matter ot 'delinquency
payments, a3 provided by tbe Fact
Finders bill, enacted by congress
December 5. 1924.
The committee considered in de
tail the budget and levy for the cur
rent year collectable in 192ff. The
following is the itemized estimate
of the Reclamation Service:
Installment on South
Branch Linings (67.358.SS
Construction 56.254.05
Supplementary Constr'n. 22.05
Deferred Assessment of
1921 43,974.95
TOTAI (168,209.89
Convened About Kstlnmte
'in view of the fact that only ap
proximately (53,000 has been paid
on the 1924 levy the committee
viewed the proposed levy asked b
the Reclamation Bureau with a great
deal of concern. The committee apr
proved action of the district In
, ti lhl! individual relief which
1 avoiding f0rec,o3ul,,
In several instances, resulting in tho
collection ot about $20,000 district
and county assessments without fore
closure proceedings.
Tho bonrd pointed out to the com
mittee that tho district would In all
probability have to withdraw tho
individual relief measure by the
first of the year.
Committee Recommended
After listening and discussing with
tho board ot directors throughout
the afternoon, the board passed
several resolutions advising the
board o directors how to make
their way out of the district's fi
nancial entanglement.
The board was composed of E. M.
