bf 7) cen tA NEA UA nt district. WATER USERS’ MAP PLANS FOR N.1.D. ELECTION Members of the Nevada Irrigation District Water Users Association endorsed by signing a program offered by Max Arnold, H. J. Gleason and Herbert J. Nile, directors of the NID, at a meeting of the organization Friday evening at Seaman’s Lodge, here. Nile and Arnold face a recall election Tuesday, Oct. 3, precipitated by petitions circulated by the NID Land Owners Association following the firing of Forrest Varney, manager of the NID. The three directors were the majority members of the board in a three to two decision to oust the ex-manager. The platform as shioiees by members of the association appears in this edition of The Nugget as a paid advertisement. William Vogt, president of the NID. Water Users Association, conducted the meeting, and preceded the meeting with a minute of silence in memory of Warren Odell, a member of the organization, and chairman of the board of supervisors of Nevada county at the-time of his death Sept. 10. Nilewas called upon tospeak first and pointed out that now the directors had a chance to run the district, a chance they had never previously had. Nile said “those who prophesied calamity ‘will be the saddest persons -in the district when nothing of the sort occurs. Nile said the board of directors would not hurt the Gleason, director from the Rough and Ready district, stated Varney was just a $9,000 go-between the departments and the directors. Gleason pointed out that when he entered the board three directors wanted no change urginghim not to “upset the applecart.” f Gleason said the Landowners Association has gone “underground” holding no*“public meetings and is spearheaded by the same three men who were against the discharge of William Durbrow three years ago. Gleason concluded with “We should have no manager. Forget the job of manager and have the board. of directors operate the district.” A. B. Snyder reviewed the controversial Camp Far West ditch, and concluded with “I’ve known Herb Nile for fifty years. I know he would do nothing to hurt the NID. The old directors were rubber stamps for the manager.” Ted Tschopp opened his remarks with a rebuttal to.a Land Owners Association charge the Water. Users. group was causing inefficiency through disunity, by . * pointing out there was unity under Durbrow and the district went into debt. “The lack of harmony shows that someone on the board is thinking,’ Tschopp declared. : He reported that several hours of searching NID records about the redwood lumber deal of 1948 showed the records in great disorder, with the district apparently $600 to the good in a checkup of invoices and bills. A. P. Falltrick, Newcastle, asserted the redwood obtained in the deal was inferior quality. Arnold stated the Friday morning meeting of the NID board of directors was smoother and more practical and the board was better informed than in previous sessions. He cited several items of which he accused Varney of inefficiency in handling. Charles Kitts, chairman of the Nevada county grand jury committee investigating the NID, related the grand jury is investigating the district and is not concerned about Varney. Kitts said, “Varney is not liable but that members of the board of directors are liable for Varney’s actions as manager. The grand jury is trying to find out how the district. got into its present condition. Varney is not being investigated.” Kittg denied he was a tool of the Water Users Association and suggested Varney’s backers were . probably politically maneuvering when they accused Kitts of abusing his position as a grand jury member. He added all records of the jumber deal have been subpenaed by the grand jury. Don Gates commented “If any“one has mired Varney’s reputation it has been the Land Owners Association.” Chester Loney declared “It is a shame to kick a man of Nile’s caliber around.” The organization met again at LeBarr Meadows hall last night, but it continued beyond press time of The Nugget.
