Plan to Reorganize Irrigation Projects in Nebraska
The Water Users Association in Scottsbluff with Miles Cannon of the Bureau of Reclamation and others proposes a near total reorganization of western Nebraska irrigation. A Nebraska irrigation district would take over North Platte project management and charge collection, with a future contract between the district and the Bureau of Reclamation. Water has been delivered and the Interstate Division operated for fifteen years.

Water project facing funding and management challenges prompt district plan
The document outlines six million dollars advanced to the Division, 1 224 000 returned per water contracts, 415 000 from Warren act sales, and 057 000 past due for construction and maintenance. It notes drought strain, grasshopper crop losses about 30 percent annually, and claims 1912 liens, inadequate relief laws, and unstable conditions hindering Federal Land Bank operations. It urges unity between the Bureau of Reclamation and water users and supports organizing a Nebraska district to empower user control and home rule for project success.
