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.
