To the Editor Grants Pass Courier:
Appreciating the need of the full
est information obtainable regarding
the irrigation district now being
urged, property owners OF the valley
have during the week just past
been generally invited to get togeth-
er for the purpose OF discussing the
merits of the proposition, from the
standpoint OF the taxpayer.
AT the meetings the meager re-
suits from two years effort and
the expenditure OF nearly $4,000
| by the Grants Pass Irrigation dis
trict, also the excessive preliminary
expensive and equally excessive con-
struction costs OF the Gold Hill pro-
ject. not yet finished, and the fran
tic efforts of some As members Of
the Medford district to obtain re-
lease, we're duly considered and the
conclusion, practically unanimous,
was that with the county and state
taxes excessive and increasing, the
resident land owner in this valley
who hopes to keep his home, courts
disaster by fayoring an alliance with
the Grants Pass Irrigation district.
We concur in the above:
