Th innr-awalted engineer s report was dropped Into the lap UL law HJ tu""' wM-rf " 1 by Mayor Mahoney. Prepared by J. O. Baar of the ' Portland engineering firm of ' Baar and Cunningham, the ; highly technical report listed ' three courses whereby the city 1 might acquire a . water system. Two of these were mentioned by Mayor Mahoney In his com ment to the council Monday night, and he recommended they be placed on the May primary ballot. One calls for a bond is sue of S2.100.000 and .the other for a bond issue Of 11,200.000. - Two Proposals Made i " The larger investment would be required to construct a gravi ' ty flow system from Anna creek and a complete distribution sys tem In town. This, the engi . neer asserted, would pay out in t 40 years, but could offer no re , duction in present water rates. . ' The second proposal, which is "regarded by tha engineer as the . . most profitable, calls for con struction of a deep well supply project with a distribution sys tem in lOWn, . jnur wauuMw ' told the council this project ' would pay out In SO years with a surplus of over 11,000,000, V and would provide a 30 per cent redaction in rates. X third coarse suggested by the engineer's report was to ac quire by purchase or condemn the privately owned water sys tem, make additions or better ments and continue with the present well supply, or abandon ' the well supply and bring in the Anna oreeK water oy gravity, rh enrtnpArlnr firm, which was hired at the rate of 11,000 for the preliminary inveuBuu" ' on a contingency that if a pro ' it la nnriertaken it would get ' S per cent of the net construc tion cost, lor engineering serv Ices, recommended "the acquis! - motorwrtrVn " Tha municipal waterworks plan, which promises to be an issue it taken up seriously by the council, got no comment ironi -the city fathers Monday night Mayor Mahoney made the brief statement of the two proposals - he suggested for the ballot, and tt riarMiui n Ills' the lone report with the city police Judge so that the councilman - cuum tndy it.

That would mako the bond issue S2.100.000. : The well supply project would cost; $1,282,000 with an esti mated grant of $82,000, leaving Klamath Visitor A. E.

The engineer also discusses a 28-inch pipe "line from Anna creek, but discards it because It would not be self-liquidating at present rates. Not much is said in the report about acquiring the present sys tem owned by the California Ore gon Power company, regarded as a problem factor in tbe water system plan. The report states the atudiee were predicated on tbe theory the city will extinguish the existing private water system, but "how this is to be accomplished Is be yond the scope of this report." Later, in estimating the cost of a new distribution and reservoir system at $1,120,000, Baar says this figure is for new construction throughout and the amount 'should certainly be large enough to buy the privately owned sys tem and place It in first class operating condition. As to revenues or wnica me bond obligations would be re tired, the engineer estimates the revennes for the next five years at $150,000 annually; that dur ing the following four years they will increase at the rate of $5000 per year and will remain stationary thereafter until the last bond has matured) or until 1974, on a 40-year basis.

While admittedly there aren't a lot of democratic votes in Klamah county, supporters of Mahoney here are anxious to make a strong showing lor tbe candidate in the home section. Mahoney will probably do most of his campaigning elsewhere. Eagles Vote Support Local Eagles have announced their support of the mayor, and will circulate the news among other lodges of the state. Local railroad men have always been strong Mahoney boosters, and are receiving reports from other locals of the railroad organiia tions endorsing the local candi date.

Let us go out for tbe good of southern Oregon and for once get recognition." - Tbe mayor said there are 35 counties in the state besides Multnomah, and declared he was determined to break the domina tion of Portland interests.

He declared he expects to win the nomination and if he reaches that goal he will win the No vember election. Murray Takes Chair Lee Jacobs, who opened the meeting, stated that financing of the Mahoney campaign must come largely from his Home com niuulty. Jacobs then turned the gavel over to Murray, tho uew Mahonoy club chieftain. Murray cited the opportunity to put a man In the governor's chair from southern Oregon, and said that was the reason he had accepted the appointment.
