Water users of the Owyhee pro- e<.t «’ho are interested in petltion- g -ingress for a delay in the e tion of construction charges zil hold a meeting in the Boule- v-rd Grange hall Wednesday, Jan- aary 23 at 1:30 p. m. The water users ask that the rayment of the construction char es be delayed for at least two years for the following reasons: 1. "That with the coming of the war, the lack of labor did not al ow the completion of construct ion and drainage of the Owyhee Project and the cost of this pro- ect is not settled yet. We are un able to borrow money on our lands due to that fact. We also belive that we should pay according to the productiveness of our lands on construction and for that reason we ask for reclass ification on this land as the old land that was developed several years ago is in a much better con dition to pay there charges, as they can grow the higher priced crops. If the Bench land has the same charges on them, lt will force the operators o ff these lands. 2. “That the $90 per acre average return of the project for 1945 is not a fair sample as the old lands in many cases made many times the $90 gross per acre, while the higher bench lands often didn’t give more than a marginal living to these operators.

"We realize that much of the knowledge of the disease and Its treatment results from scientific research made possible by the na tional foundation. I am sure that everyone will contribute more gen erously this year than ever before." As in former years, Mr. Lytle said, one-half of all the money col lected in the county will remain here to finance the hospitalization, care and treatment of local suffer ers. The other half goes to head quarters of the national foundation and is used for continuing research education and emergency aid in epidemics throughout the nation.
