PROJECT SETTLERS COM
PLAIN OF RED TAPE
(Contlued from page y

association who in turn mails all five
copies to the La Grande land office.
The register of the La Grande office
then signs the oath of disinterested
ness before a notary public and re-
turns the second original to the per-
son who made the application FIR wa
ter with letter stating that he must
have the same recorded and return
to him, allowing him so days to COM
ply.
In the opinion of the people on this
project where a person already has
made application for a water right
and received his water right number
from La Grande and wishes to take
advantage of the graduated payments,
this new form of water right apph,
cation contains much more wording
than is necessary. They understand
that in order to have their contract
changed from $50 to $40 the govern
ment must have some form to make
the change, but as they have already
placed a mortgage on their land with
the Water Users association for the
amount of the water right no matter
what the amount happens to be, the
new lien is plainly unnecessary. This
old contract is lien against all of the
land and the shares of stock in the
association, and in failure of any per-
son to make prompt payment of the
water right when due the association
will foreclose their lien against the
land. Therefore, it is considered not
necessary to place a further lien
against the water users on the pro-
ject by having this new form of water
right application recorded.

Complaint Against City Council.

Enfield Express: We hear
some complaint against the viii
lage council, because certain
places of business in Enfield are
permitted to be kept open until
a very late hour thus encourage
ing boys to form the habit of
loafing. This we believe is a
difficult problem to handle, and
can only be successfully met by
unity of action between parents
and the village authorities. 1t
is just these conditions and sur
roundings that have started so
many bright boys on the road to
ruin, and any effort on the part
of the village authorities should
be aided and abetted by the par
ents. and likewise the efforts of
parents should be encouraged by
the officials.

Margaret Dear, aged 10. The
little girl was frightfully burned
about four weeks ago, when she
bumped into her mother, who
was carrying a pan of boiling
water and caused the mother to
drop the pan so that the entire
contents were dashed over the
face and breast of the little girl.
The scalds were fearful and the
surgeons stated only the grating
of skin could save the life of the
child. The brother volunteered
TO furnish the skin so it was TAX

of the children are on the road
