M Monticello Dam Problems Emphasize Confusion in State Water Affairs SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The recent hearings held in Sacramento by three United States Senators on problems affecting the construction of Monticello Dam on Putah Creek, served primarily to emphasize the confused state of affairs which confronts the public insofar as the water situation in this state is concerned. The senators, directed by the committees on appropriations and insular and interior affairs to hold the hearings under a requirement of law, at least obtained first hand information on the bitter battle between Napa and Solano counties over the waters of Putah Creek. The information was given the three Senators William F. Knowland of California, Dennis Chavez of New Mexico and Guy Gordon, of Oregon, by the parties affected. Polio Cases Hit 180 for Week SACRAMENTO (CNS) — The state department of public health today announced it received reports of 180 cases of polio in California for the week ending Nov. 22. Mumps swelled the list of reported communicable disease cases with 586 recorded during the week, while chicken pox of which there were 334 cases, ran second as the most common illness, the department stated. Other diseases listed by the department were 133 cases of measles, whooping cough 57 and encephalitis 13. ed, which included munitions, farmers, engineers, others involved in the web of water rights vane needs, that features the cello controversy. As some observers see, Putah Creek battle is not prophecy insofar as the event in the conservation of California's rapidly becoming less water are concerned. And if each unit now plated by engineers is from five to 10 years old posing forces quarrel over rights and need, the day will approach more rapidly when drying up of the state factual rather than an anecdote event which won't happen in this generation, so the mists say. It was almost 30 years ago some far-seeing legislators talking about a state water servation plan, and around years ago when California had the Central Valleys Project middle of depression, that was unable or unwillingance the project, and it took the hands of the federal government. Now, the state contends buying it back from the States. Whether such action would in further delays in struction work, or whether state could step up the action and complete the condition project faster than the eral government remains seen. But whoever has the re-bility for the actual constructions of dams and distribution must, if the needs of the area are to be met, recognize that time is running out. Words, the need for water in advance of the governor (state or federal) ability to vide for such need. This situation, which applies to be a general statement brought directly into focus. to shake your hand” says John Wayne I’ve always admired the kind of people who are real, down-to-earth practical people.

THIRD—During the 10-year extension period, every unmatured bond earns at the new, higher interest rate (average 3% compounded semiannually). Our original $18.75 can now pay us back $33.67. $37.50 pays back $67.34. And so on. buy begins earning interest after only 6 months.

They've insured the one time Anaheim gal's classy chassis for $1,000,000 with Lloyds' of London. It isn't the first time the 'dumb blonde' comedienne has had her assets insured. She skyrocketed to fame in Ken Murray's "Blackouts" and became such a fixture in that stage production that the producer had her legs insured for $100,000. The policy obtained by the Columbia Broadcasting Co. on the gal "with the most beautiful body in America" is the same kind of a policy, but it covers more.

In other words, the need for water is far ahead of the government's state or federal) ability to provide for such need. This situation, which appears to be a general statement, is brought directly into focus with regard to the Monticello situation. Solano county has demonstrated the need for more water, but the long series of arguments over Monticello Dam have prevented government from proceeding to furnish a supply to the county. Arguments on both sides of the question as to whether or not to construct the dam have merit, and the unfortunate thing is that there is no way to settle the arguments closely and amicably. Creation of a central state water agency, while it would not magically settle all the problems, might, never, help speed up the processes which must be followed the present time before accommodation in the realm of conviction can result. There has been talk for some time among legislators that such action is being necessary, and the Monticello hearings may heighten the fire for such an agency.
