Bradbury Board Failed To Make
Progress With Klamath District
Keplyintr to hectic telegrams of R. E. Bradbury, president of the Klamath Irrigation dis

In it he explains the reason taking over O. & M. by the Bradbury board has made no pro-
tress
i nm newspaper mis printed extracts iron mis letter, ror some unnnown reasuu uun
newspaper is challenged to print all of It. Just why Bradbury should want The News to
publish it is mystifying. J. L. Jacob is the president of one

an interest in another publication.
Anyway, here it is:

purpose of discussing In detail Ihe draft of agree

would furnish Mr. Newoll with a written state

were advised that If they would do ao. all papers
would be transmitted to this office wllh appro

his letter lhat the statement of objections not hav

Mr Newell requested Ihe district lo expedite It
submission Ul order that the papers might be sub

doing this at agreed, the district s attorney fur

wllh tho form previously submitted by them. The

ohjertlonuhlc. Copy of the dlatrlcfa draft wa
tranamltted to thla office with copy of Mr. Car
nahan'a letter of transmittal and a copy of District
I'ounsel Coffey's reply of August 12. Attention Is
Invited particularly to the last paragraph of Mr.
Coffey'a letter to' Mr. J. H. Carnahan, attorney
for the district, reading aa follows: ;
I have been waiting for the suggested
changea. hut the fact that the directors have
now submitted a draft of contract leads to
the belief that perhaps they have abandoned
prcvloua plans to submit suggested changea
In the draft discussed in detail last June.
However. 1 am not certain as to this and
would appreciate advice In this regard at your
earliest convenience.
Mr. Coffey in his letter to thla office of Aug
ust 11 stated that upon receipt of Mr. Carnahan's
reply the matter would be taken up further. I
assume that no reply has been received by Mr.
Coffey from Mr. Carnahan as I feel sure that It a
reply had been received this office would havo
been promptly advised. t
from the foregoing you . will note that we'
have been awaiting advice from the district or Its
attorney regarding their wishes. Had the. sug
gestions made been followed by the district and
written objection forwarded to the varlons pro
vision of Mr. Cliffey'a drafk which were considered
objectionable, the mailer could have been con
sidered and some definite decision reached. , Now.
however. 11 appears that we are sutislanlialiy
where wo were when tho commissioner's letter ot
base and written objections forward
ed, drafting. If considered advisable, revised ar
ticles to he' substituted for those considered ob
jectionable, supplemented by an outline of the
reasons for the objection in each case. The lat
ter Is of particular Importance ns it Is necessary
lhat something of this kind be had In ordor that
intelligent consideration may be given hy this of
fice and by the department to the various matters
In controversy.
Ucplying lo that part of your telegram which
relates to relief matters, I havo lo advise that
nothing can be done under the provisions of Sub
section K of the Act of December 5. 1924. until
the reports and recommendations have boon sub
mitted to and acted upon by congress. The act
mentioned provides for certain other measures of
relief which require no action by congress. Most
of Ihe relief, however, can not be given until the
operation and maintenance of the project has been
' turned over to the water users as provided In Sub
section 0 of the act mentioned. Anything along
this line, therefore, must necessarily await favor
able action upon the contract for taking over op
eration and maintenance.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) P. W. PENT,
Acting Commissioner.

Have they done, or accom

Tbeae two question' might

Resolution will be produced

road and the power companies
are the issue In 'thla campaign.
Haven't these gentlemen harped

They have told their unthink

companies could be made to pay
the entire cost of thla project.
But nradburr and Jacob missed
a good election issue by not in

just that .far toward a sensible

Refusal to Face Figures to

To Ballot Issue .
Evading until after election the
Inevitable revelation of the Klam
ath Irrigation district's financial af
fairs, the present board has in
structed lta publie accountant that
they do not want him to go over
the district's books "until after
the first of the year."
It will not be until then that
the water users will know the of
ficial facts of the sad plight- into
which tho Bradbury board has engi
neered the district, too late to In
crease the landslide vote that now
Is certain to overwhelm the Brad-,
bury-Eber'.eln candidates.
Refusal ot the administration to
permit Its usual accountant, O. Ed
Ross, ot Salem, to check the books
became known when Ross was ask
ed if he was ready to audit the
Klamath district booka as usual.
Xo. the board doesnt want. me.
untU after the first of the year,"
said Koh.
Considering tho large sums Ihe
board has admitted spending in per-,
feetln bookkeeping system, em

concealed for the present, the finan-,
cial standing of the district
Xoi a dollar ' would remain in
the county treasury to the credit,
of the district at the present time.
If the district had patid it bill due
last June, to the government. .
Ievcu8nt obhtogon mmhfin gwd ,
This bill amounted to $59,598.
59. The reason It has' not been,
paid Is that there Is only 153,000
to the credit of the district in the
treasury. This amount is now- con
stantly being drawn against by the
heavy administrative expenses, the
IS.C19.G0 "budget , tor which has
long since been overdrawn by total
expenses of more than $12,000. Ex
penses cannot be held under $14,
000 for the entire year, and the
board Is now publicly attempting to
justify Its extravagances on Its ac
complishments, say Us opponents.
Had Bradbury deliberately at
tempted to wreck the district's
credit In the vain hope that sym
pathy of congress would have been
enlisted, and .relief found In that
channel, he tould not have proceed
ed more directly on his course, ac
cording to thoso who know him.
For. knowing that taxes had been
reduced by his predecessors in of
fice with the expectation that O.
ft M. would be taken over by the
district, he has purposely Impeded
that job.
