WATER T ARGUED BEFORE E (Continued from Page One) . not with the method. He ad mitted there is waste in the En terprise district, but said "some thing is being done about it," such as an underground pressure system and eliminating a dead end ditch. Subdivisions Eyed He said the district only wants enough water to irrigate crops to the maximum efficiency and is open to an amicable settle ment. The special commission inves tigating the charges questioned Thomas at some length concern ing the development of subdi visions on the Enterprise dis trict. Thomas said the district includes 3000 acres on which 4500 people reside. About 880 acres have been subdivided. Change in Crops Thomas, I. J. Dixon and G. J. Hilyard, the latter two directors of the Enterprise district, stated that changing agricultural con ditions brought about a greater need for water here and the ad visability of raising the duty of water. They said that 20 years ago grain and alfalfa were the prin cipal products raised. Now there is a heavy production of potatoes and alsike clover, requiring more water. They also said that the development of small tracts had increased the water demand Dr. William Peterson, one of the investigators, asked if the small tracts development had not been accompanied by the use of more land for roads and for buildings, thus reducing water requirements. In questioning of Hilyard and Dixon, it was brought out there are not at present measuring de vices at the points of intake for individual farmers. Dr.' Peterson said that it might be necessary to install such devices in order to deter mine the highest efficiency of the use of water. "Have you thought of the cost of these devices and who might pay for them?" he asked. He also said that it would be unfair to attempt to make farm ers produce less crops, but that it might be possible to intro duce methods of irrigation which would use less water more effi ciently. He asked if there would be any opposition to this, and the farmers replied they could not speak for the other farmers of the district. Superintendent Thomas point ed out that there is ample water for the Klamath project. He said the project has an actual surplus of 1,000,000 acre feet. Just before noon Monday rep resentatives of the Pine Grove irrigation district appeared, They were L. O. Mills, presi dent; A. R. Campbell, secretary, and W. E. Cunningham, director. All objected to excess charges. Clifford E. Fix, assistant chief counsel of the bureau of recla mation, and W. D. Burt, special agent of the interior depart ments bureau of investigation, sat with Dr. Peterson at the hearing and asked many ques tions of the witnesses. Fix, in particular, questioned Thomas about the state laws which provide that only owners of four acres or more of land can vote in district elections, and that charges are based on nothing less than one acre. Thomas said that the four- acre rule was established when suburban development put many small holders in the irrigation districts, these people being un familiar with farming practices and problems, farm crop prices, and so on. He indicated the pur pose was to keep district con trol in the hands of farmers.

Police Warn Drivers Not To Follow Fire Trucks City police Monday issued a warning to motorists to stop following a fire truck on the way to a fire. This is a danger ous practice both because it may result in an accident with the fire truck, or some other vehicle, and also because it hinders the firemen when they stop in a hurry to fight the fire, according to Chief of Po lice Frank Hamm. Another violation the motorists commit is to not drive over to the curb when they hear the siren of either a police car or a fire truck, Chief Hamm said, adding that the excuse always offered is, "I thought the siren was meant for someone, -else." iThe following is the state law on following a fire truck: Section 55-2503 Following a Fire Apparatus Prohibited, "It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehicle other than one on official business to follow any fire apparatus traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than 500 feet or to drive into or park such vehicle with in the . lock where the fire ap paratus has stopped in answer to a fire alarm, or within three blocks of a point where the fire is in progress." Section 55-2312 Exceptions to the Right of Way, .'Tho driver ot a vehicle upon a street snail yield the right of way to au thorized emergency vehicles when the latter are operated in emergencies and the drivers thereof sound audible signals by bell, siren, compression or exhaust whistle. Upon the ap proach of any authorized emer gency vehicle giving signal bjr siren, bell, compression or ex hajst whistle the driver of every other vehicle shall im mediately drive the same to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right hand edge or curb of the highway, clear of any intersection of highways, and shall stop and remain in such position unless otherwise directed by a police officer un til the authorized emergency vehicle shall have passed."
