PUD Turns Down
Offer to Submit
Suit to Vote
Story says resolution
_ got ‘scant consideration’
by other 2 members
\ A resolution to submit the propo
sition of immediate condemnation
proceedings against the PP&L prop
}erties in Benton county to a vote
of the people, was “given scant con
lsideration" at a recent meeting or
Ithe PUD directors held in Kenne
wick Guy story, local member of‘
the board, who presented the. reso-‘
lution, has given the following in-‘
terview concerning the situation: 1
“The controversy in question is?
not a question of public versus pri
vate power operation, :but rather
a question of methods and timing.
The public distribution of Bon-
ineville-Coulee power is as inevit
\a-ble as public distribution of irri
’gation water by irrigation districts.
‘The successful operation of either
project depends primarily upon
securing a dollar of needed value
for each dollar expended. Some
of the irrigation districts in this]
county have had considerable ex
perience with a loose fiscal policy,
many farmers having been forced
off their farms until the inevitable
adjustment came and'the indebted
ness settled on thebasis of 25-30 c
on the dollar.
f‘As an example of condemnation
'by public utilities is the case of
Okanogan county, which has been
cited by some as a favorable award,
in which the court gave a verdict
of over a million dollars more than
the value placed upon the property
:by the utility. It does not take an
engineer to see what a similar
award in {Benton county would
mean.
“No doubt the framers had this‘
in mind when the grange pledged
on sponsoring the formation of a}
utility district here that ‘the oountyi
would not «be obligated to any ex-l
tent without referring it directly to!
the people.’ - __
\ _‘fA rewlirtion emm.mi idea
and ’ .‘provming‘ for submitting the
question of immediate condemna
tion to the voters of the county and
presented to the Benton County
PUD board at their last meeting,
where it received. scant considera
tion. The majority or the board
cited the fact that the State Grange
was very much in favor of immedi
ate condemnation and pledged
themselves, without equivooation,
that they would stop at once all con
demnation proceedings if the State
Grange said it was not advisable
to continue. ' 1
“This nation Ihas lost thousands of
her best citizens and untold suffer
ing for other thousands and is raw;
‘ing the loss of other thousands,
lpractica-lly every citizen doing all
or more than they are called upon,
to successfully prosecute a. war that
has, for one of its basic theories,
Government only through the con
sent of the governed.’
“Benton county has a duly con
stituted municipal corporation'in its
PUD and is utterly disregarding
the expressed wishes of 80 percent
of its [power users of the county
(Burton report) and is pledging to
carry out the wishes of an outside
agency. '
“The grange was founded on prin
ciples as high or higher than any
organization in the cmmtry and has
always subscribed to the theory of
majority rule, so it would seem
that the excuse of the PUD is
Irather an alibi to sell the farmers‘
of Benon county a bill of goods.
“However, since the State Grange
has been brought into the contro
versy, it would seem in order for it to
advise the Benton PUD to carry
out a truly democratic process and
submit to the people most concerned
the question of immediate con
demnation, the amount to he spent
to carry out the proceedings, the
overall amount the district was will
ing to pay for the properties and
the source -of the tunds and the
rate of interest, these being of
importance to all power users in
the county.”

Crop Production
Cherries, 168 acres, are
highest cashproducers ;
grapes l'argest crop
From a production standpoint,
the Kennewick Manda irrigated
area is among the nation’s topy
«most money-makers, according to?
the current crop report from the
Bureau of Reclamation. The area
averaged $139.72 per acre ofﬁcially,
which is considerably below the
iactual ﬁgures, according to Man
ager E. J. Brand, who collected the
\data. Some farmers refused to
supply their complete production
figures, he states.
The high figurevis. all the more
remarkable. he states, in that it
has risen in recent years from only
s4operacretoaﬂgurefomtimea
as large. ' The production returns
have jumped the last year from 3101'
peracretojustunderslio. ’ '
The project consists of 4,107 acres.
of which 3,411 were in actual use.
It consists at 193 farms operated‘
with nine not operated last year.
More than 200 acres are occupied‘
'by buildings, yards. highwayS. riehts‘
of way, etc., while duplicated areasl
(those bearing ttwo crops) amountedl
1,0483%.
f Fbr the first time in several
‘years, cherries led me cash returm.
There are’les acres of cherry or
chards on the Highlands and these
pod-need at the rate or $471.73, ac
cording to the report. Tonnage of
production was captured, however,
by grapes, to which there are de
voted 459 acres, which produced
4,655,495 pounds, with a. per acre
return at $152.14. - ‘
The second best crop inst year
proved to be berries, although there

crop, which paid off at the rate 01
$350.21 per acre. Third on the list:
of cash producers was the 44' acres
of dry onions, which Wt in
