WORK THRU MEADE
Needed Relief May Require
Act of Congress But
Chances Good
A general reller plan for ' tba
Klamath irrigation district that
waa being worked out through Dr.
El wood Meade, director of reclama
tion, and former senator George E.
Chamberlain, haa been given a set
back hv the illness of Chamber
lain, according to R E. Bradbury,
president of the district.
Application of the five per cent
crop basis of construction repay
ment through a special not of con
gress is one of the measures under
consideration. Bradbury under
stands that the plan he and Direc
tor Lum Short have worked out on
behalf of the district was given the
endorsement of H. D. Newell, pro
ject director. . I
"Some plan under which water
users may be saved from further
excessively assessments was abso
lutely necessary and Director Short
and myself were very hopeful that
progress was to be made through .
Senator Chamberlain nntll . he be- .
came critically 111," said Bradhury.

and we are taking about every-
thing up with Dr. Meade, through
Chamberlain at Washlngotn that
can be adjusted without prejudice.
This means, of course,, that we will
go ahead In tho courts with out
power suits."
The district is now faced with
a very acute drainage problem, bet
terments and replacements having
been curtailed for several years
past, according to Bradbury. He es
timates that the district should
spend between $50,000 and $75,
000. but says 4hat the financial
condition of the district will ' not
permit the expenditure. '
"The financial condition of the
district Is auch that In order that
the water users may be saved from
further excessively heavy assess
ments, some plan must be found
that will lighten the load until
such time as the. accrued delinquen
cies may be absorbed." he says.

'We have set forth our belief
that the acre charge now assessed
upon the lands of the district la In
excess of a safe maximum 'acre

as the lands are reduced : to a
