Reform on Water Contracts Asked by Elwood Mead
Commissioner Advocates Federal Observance on Reclamation Projects
(United Press)
Washington, Dec. 13.—The federal government should not make contracts with water users on reclamation projects which the users cannot meet but when proper contracts are made they should be enforced. Teach water users about reclamation, said in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior today
"Continued deferments or modifications of agreements will certainly lead to the belief that they are mere scraps of paper," said Mend. "Here we should be required as binding obligations which must be faithfully observed."
The magnitude of reclamation projects in this country according to Mead, is shown in the statement that the Reclamation Bureau irrigated 1,218,700 acres of land during the agricultural year of 1923, of which 1,179,871 acres were cropped. The remaining 655 acres of about 854 acres, compared with a gross value of $50,000,000, or about 843 ancre in the preceding year.
Including the land furnished i whole or in part with water from the works of the Bureau, under the Wraon act, the gross value of crop grown was amounted to under $120,000,000 as compared with 888,000,000 in 1922.
Operates_100_Dams
The irrigation works, operated by the bureau included 100 storage and diversion dams, more than 15,300 miles of canals, ditches, and drains; 600 miles of pipe line, 148 miles of flume, and thousands of structures incident to the carriage and distribution of water.
During the year, the Bureau continued the extension of irrigation projects, including the construction of 800 miles of canals, ditches and drains; 9,500 canal structures; 100 bridges; 350,000 linear feet of pipe and channel; 60,000 cubic yards of earth and rock, the total excavation at the end of the year amounting to nearly 350,000 cubic yards.
Mead called attention to the need of enacting the recommendations of the Special Advisory Committee which studied the reclamation problem last year, into law. He declared that change is taking place in the conception of what is needed to make us a society by legislation and a social and economic success.
The outstanding features of the committee's recommendations which are embodied in a bill pending in Congress are:
Payment on Crops
Payment on Crops
1. The project on construction charges will be based on the average annual gross crop return; now they are based on a percentage of the project cost, fixed with relation to the productivity.
2. Where lack of soil fertility, scarcity of water, or other adequate cause, renders settlers unable to pay project costs, the Secretary may will close the pertinent facts and report them to Congress with recommendations, looking to a correction of the fault. The present law calls for repayment of project costs in full, regardless of the location where the water would be available for irrigation.
4. The costs of the Washington office, including expenses of general investigations similar to the one undertaken by the committee, will be charged to the reclamation fund, but not to the water users as at present
3. Operation and maintenance charges will be paid in advances, thus bringing Government practice in harmony with that of privately-owned charges are now for the most part, paid after the service is rendered.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
All these changes will be helpful, Meadie said, in the operation of existing projects, but if legislation aims to change how land use activities will not provide a working plan for the development of new projects. The reason for this is the fact that many of the best opportunities for developing new projects are the land is privately owned.
