"The source of the gravity sup pW has not been decided upon. This wilt be left to the Judgment of the engineers. It is proposed to bring cojd -mountain water into the city approximately 3 mtlea distance. The water rates our pople have been paying for rears hate been prohibitive. Th people of this fltjr have long awaited this opportunity of own ing their own water system. "I desire to correct the Im pression that the cost of con structing a water system, -whit h it Is estimated will run In the nefgbborho6d of "two million dollars, positively will sot be a lien upon the taxable property of the city, but will be a ten upon the revenues of the water department only. When our en gineers have completed their In vestigation thii report will at once be submitted to the Recon struction Kinance Corporation and government engineers for their approval. If approved by them under the industrial act the government makes n out right gift of 80 per cent and the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration loans the remaining 70 per cent at 4 per cent over a period of 3S years.

"I desire to say a word in an swer to the statement . In the morning paper by the directors of the Klamath Irrigation Dis trict. No one Is more interest ed in the welfare of the farmers of this county than are the citi zens of Klamath Falls. It must be well known to the directors that they have vested rights given them not only by the state of Oregon, but by the federal Kovernment. and no Individual or corporation can in any way in fringe or Impair these rights. Tbe cltv has tiled water rights on the Klamath riven in order to protect the interest of the peo ple of the whole county. We are not interested In protecting tbe interests of the California Oregon Power company above the rights of our own people. "Today, and since 19:2. the California.

We have taken this step and bae our conten tion tbat tf the federal govern ment Is to grant a power site to a private corporation, that they must first consider the rights claimed by the people to whom these water rights really belong. It is merely a question now of whether the California Oregon Power company is to get control of the only remaining power site in the Kiamath baiu or whether the people of this county will be given riehts to use this water for tbtr benefit.

We do not propose to do so. We are for protecting the rights of the irri gation district first.
