Water Rights Hearing Opens ' LOS ANGELES (UP)-A special Joint Legislative Committee on Water Rights resumed hearings today In an effort to settle differ ences over development of state water projects. In Tuesday's session, the 18 member committee, headed by Assemblyman Luther H. Lincoln, (R - Oakland), heard testimony from Southern California spokes men who called for a possible "package deal" to end the current deadlock between Northern and Southern California. W. S. Rosecrans, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce spokes man and Southern California Wa ter Coordinating Conference rep resentative, indicated the possibil ity of support for a "package" constitutional amendment. As semblyman H. W. Kelly (R-Shaf- ter) suggested such an amend ment would insure "replenish ment" of water diverted for the Feather River Project. Rosecrans declined stating his position on support of additional Northern California projects upon completion of the FRP. He ques tioned whether it had been def initely established that water re plenishment would be necessary. Joseph Jensen, chairman of the Board of Directors for the Metro politan Water District of Southern California, said his organization regarded the FRP as the first project to be undertaken by the state. He called for the state to begin engineering and economic studies of other water develop ment projects and said the Metro politan Water District endorsed appropriation of state funds to finance such studies. Jensen added that the MWD regarded as essential assurance of ability to finance water projects to completion. He added that adoption of a constitutional amendment would adequately and fairly protect water rights and interests of areas of origin and deficiency should precede con struction ot any state water project. The committee was to meet In executive session later today but members expressed doubt that a definite course of action would be worked out immediately.

By LEAGUE Of WOMEN VOTERS Theri is a eitv board of health answerable to the city council, and a county board of health answer able to the county court of three members. The city-county health officer is a doctor. The sanitarian also serves the city-county, inese boards meet approximately once a month. The state only exercises authority over the municipality in emergencies, except that they must approve the city's sanitary facilities (sewage and water sup ply'. A county public health nursing service is under the direction of the county doctor. Nurses operate with the city schools. They do the only health education outside of the Public Health Department, ex amine children in the schools, and if necessary, recommend fur ther examinations by the family physicians and dentists. They vis it homes which need their help within those school areas. There is no special arrangements for maternal and infant care, except through prepaid insurance. The only clinic setup for people of small means is in the field of mental health. There is a County Nursing Home which serves main ly welfare patients. It is mainly for convalescent and chronic con ditions. All of the water for the city of Klamath Falls is from artesian wells. The water is tested weekly. The federal government requires a minimum of chlorine added to all drinking water: All milk and meat sold in Klam ath Falls is inspected by inspec tors (veterinarians) answerable to the city council. There is a pas teurization ordinance. Food han dlers do not pass health tests (these have become mere issuing of health cards for money in some areas, so are not considered prac tical.) There is regular inspection of restaurants by the sanitarian. It is claimed there are no rats in Klamath Falls. Public welfare is a federal, state and county function. The County Public Welfare Commission is su pervised by the State Public Wel fare Commission. The county com mission is 'composed of four mem bers appointed by the governor, two county commissioners and the county judge. Their qualificaT tions are a knowledge and an in terest in Public Welfare. The du-1 ties of the County Public Wel fare Commission are to admin ister public assistance in the coun ty subject to the supervision and rules of the State Welfare Com mission: to employ people who are qualified in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Merit System; to keep records and accounts of the expenditures of money, county, state and federal, and to make reports to the State Public Welfare Commission. Since public welfare is a county func tion, a more detailed survey will be made ' when the county is studied. There are two hospitals in Klam ath Falls, which serve an area of about 50,000 population. In an interview with a committee from the League of Women Voters, the administrator for the hospital cor poration stated that there are 147 beds available in the two hospi tals. While there may be times when the hospitals are nearly full, the average occupancv on a yearly basis is 54 per cent.
