The City Council last night vot ed to abandon the project, because a (ew owners of property In the district under consideration would not consent to re-platting or deed their property to the city so the re-plaltlng could be done. Some euO lot owned by Attorney Henry Perkins, who 1 also city at torney and the man who has done the most work on Eldorado Heights over the past two year, are to be deeded over to a private corpora tion, Superior Homes Inc., of which Perkins I principal owner. The new residential development would nave included mucn of live city subdivisions Mountain View, Nob Hill, Sunnyslde, Irvlngton Height end Eldorado Height all grouped under the generic name ol Eldorado Heights, plus small amount of property lying outside the city limits but fitting Into the master pisn lor the development.

'To get the re-plaiting and plan ning done, all we property would have had to be Disced In one tech nics! ownership, and since the City of Klsmsih Falls waa large own er of the property already. It was determined that an attempt would be mad to get all property deed ed to the city, etlpuiatlng that pri vately-owned land so deeded would be returned to the rightful owners Iter th re-plsttlng. tOl'NTr OWNED Klamath County owned 803 lot and wa forbidden by law from taking pert In the area develop ment, so those lot were bought by Perk In In November, 1061. end deeded to the city. He paid 1,4M. Those were the only privately owned lot actually deeded to the city, but most of the other 40-odd private owner had agreed to turn their property over to the city to be Incorporated In the planning. A few owner balked, though, and they have killed the whole work. Perkins aald there were "four or five" persons who own be tween 40 and 60 lot who Just won't go Into the Eldorado Height plan ning at all.

Here, briefly 1 the altuatlon. Klsmsih Falls voter at the pri mary election last May okayed a one and one-half mill levy, to run lor seven years, to pay for a muni cipal swimming pool. The levy is expected to bring In 1160,000 over we seven year period. The site for the Pool already Is settled on, city-owned property back of Main Street In the vicin ity of Hillside Hospital. The type of pool also Is settled upon, a gunlt construction, wedge-shaped USBR Reveals 7ater Plan WASHINGTON I In a genera tion or ao. If Southern California needs It, the waters ot the Klamath River in Northern California might be moved south. It would cost (round S V. billion dollar to divert the wster upwards of a thousand miles. urHrr an eitl mate made by the Reclsmstlon Bureau and made public Monday. The secretary of the Interior vot the report and relayed It to Western governors. The Reclamation Bureau pointed out that this Is no proposal for an early program of construction, but only a atudy for future considera tion. Even to plan such a develop ment In detail sufficient for con gressional constderstlon would re quire msny years," the report said. The chief point It made waa that the project is possible from notn an engineering and economic point of view. The study considers using only an engineering and economic potty oi view. The study considers using only water that would not be needea In the Klamath Basin, the report said. The Sacramento River would be used as the means of transporting the Klamath River water part of tne way. The general plan call for the world's highest dam SIS feet- near the Kiamath'a mouth. Canals snd tunnels would csrry the wster southward. Olant pumps would be used where needed. No cost figures were given out by the Reclsmstlon Bureau, but 8, P.

However, the financing hasn't been clesred up. The tag levy will bring m om M1.000 this year, leading a consider able deficit to be made UD somehow If the con struction 1 done In the coming year, The city ha authority to borrow against the future Income of the tax levy, but banking houses won't make loans like that. They'll losn agslnst the levy for one year, but not for the whole seven. In other words, the city doesnt have any way to get the whole S1SO.000 or any major part of It right now. city Attorney Henry Perkins net decided that It may be legal for the city to borrow money from other city fund to put in the awlm mlng pool fund, and that was the plan he DUt before the City Coun cil last night. The ertv charter declares this Il legal. But a state law superceding the charter may make it legal.

The borrowed 1 14.000 added to the expected $21,000 accruing this year from the tax levy, would give the city tl3.000. which should be enough to pay for construction of the swimming pool and bath bouse. Since it has been this present administration which got the tax levy passed and promised the peo ple of Klamath Fall a swimming pool, some member of the Council feel this administration should go ahead with the borrowing plan. But alnce It will be the next ad ministration that will have to get the pool constructed snc? pay back the loans, it waa decided to get Landry, Barnes and Spiker into a huddle at City HU Thursday night to acquaint them with the financ ing problems. Arguments Mark Trial The trial of Keith Edson Peck, 33, on an Indictment charging neg ligent homicide, wa moving labor iously along In Its second dsy in Circuit Court today, and probably will last through tomorrow. Peck Is accused of negligent driv ing resulting In an accident in which? three persons were fatally Injured last Sept. . The accident occurred on US 97 about four miles south of town. Specifically, Peck Is charged in connection witn me death of Lowell Eugene Wilson, 43. of Dorrls, one oi tne passengers in his car. Wil son was killed outright. Members of the Jury selected yes terday to hear the case are LeRoy Olenger, Merle Loosley. Marie Ot toman. Bob Ellingson. Walter 8tast- ny. jesse z. Smith, John McNeill, Robert B. Adama Jr., Herbert Had ley, Ted Durment. R. E. Jeschke and James Cavanaugh. The prosecution' first witness Was George Anderson, a state pa trolman who was an aye-witness to the accident, and as soon as he started testifying yesterdsy after noon Defense Attorney Ben Ood dard made an objection to the ad mission ot any of Anderson's tes timony on grounds that something wa wrong with the .

S - ' '8 ' '-ill i 'A No. 209g Fat Content Increased To Four Percent Klamath milk distributors this morning snnounced thev win in crease the fat content In locally proaucea mug and retain the pres ent 24-cent per quart price rather man drop tneir prices one cent. Similar action has been taken by milk distributors In Eugene. A Milk Marketing Administration price order announced Saturday and received by local distributors this morning the same morning the order wa to become effective called for milk containing: 3 5 cer cent butterfat to be dropped from to a cents. The orders came via second class mall In the face of an OPS move to make the Oregon mini mum milk prices the celling. Deadline for the OPS move was yesterday. In Increasing the fat content. lo cal distributors say they will be forced to lose money a much ax two-tenths of a cent per quart. And because they say they won't oe aoie to use trie loss lor long, they are petitioning for an immed iate rehearing, HEARING The MM A held a hearing In the City Hall here Dec 6. one of many held throughout the state. At thnt time testimony presented under oath snowed thst local distributors were making between three and four tenths of a cent per quart and the dairy farmers were mere ly breaking even. none or tne evidence pointed to needed decrease In present prices, and showed that if any thing there might be an increase instead. In the new price order, the milk Industry was given two alterna tives: reduce the 3.5 per dent but terfat content milk to 23 cents per quart, or retain the present 24 centa per quart price and up the butterfat to lour per cent. They chose th latter as the "lesser of two evils." The distributor stand to lose less this way than the other, and producers win get a better break than under price reduction. Con sumers, in the meantime, win get better bottle of milk. "I have no doubt." ' aald Bob Kent, secretary of the Klamath Falls Creamery, "that If any price cut was passed on to dairy farmers there would be some who would sell their herds. They are right on the fence now." M EDO-LAND -. Medo-Land Creamery Mgr. Bud Franklin said he believed that the testimony at the local MMA bear ing was not considered in estao lishlng the- controversial price schedule. There was no possible way, ne said, "to come up with the figures they did from the sworn testimony at the hearing." Franklin said then u still tne possibility thst the board intends to consider evidence gsthered at the hearing and others in toe ser ies held around the state to es tablish new milk prices. However, ther hss been no official Indica tion so far. We cannot possibly exist for very long," Kent said, "under the new price schedule." He said that miux. n its inaex had kept up with all other food costs, would stand at 28 cents per quart today. POP-TLA?iD W The district Office of Price Stabilisation said Tuesday It would start checking milk prices in Southern Oregon to see thst they conform to ceilings Imposed this week. Willis west, district enforcement officer, ssld the checking began Tuesdsy, The counties of Jackson, Josephine and Coos will be cov ered, he said. A special order Saturday from the State Milk Marketing Adminis tration set new minimum prices, which In some cases were from one to three cents under the mar ket price for standard milk.
