The Centennial celebration in Los Angeles on Monday was the grandest affair that ever took place in that city. The town was literally filled with people and the parade was at once novel and interesting. One feature which attracted much attention was an old fashioned "caretta," on wooden wheels which carried two Mexican women—Benjamina, aged 117 years and Laura, aged 102 years. (This was the celebration of the one-hundredth birthday of Los Angeles—Ed.). The ranch advertised for sale by Mr. Simon B. Smith was sold by him a few days ago to Mr. T. J. House, late of Santa Clara county. Mr. House will take immediate possession. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday afternoon. The Marshal was instructed to compel the owner of the property on West street to build a bridge over said street at the point where he takes his irrigating water. The committee on public improvements was instructed to investigate the alleged destruction of bridges by the house-movers, and to take such action as they might deem necessary. The petition of A. H.

Irrigation Works Can be Financed By Federal Funds A broad opportunity to plan and build irrigation works on their own account, using Federal funds obtained as loans and grants, has been provided California water-user groups under a new law enacted by Congress and approved by President Eisenhower, United States Senator Thomas H. Kuchel has advised various state officials and agricultural organizations. Senator Kuchel, who worked vigorously for passage of the legislation, has just been told by Reclamation Commissioner W. A. Dexheimer that the Interior Department, which will administer the act, hopes to proceed with a minimum of red tape and formality in developing a program of Federal aid in the construction of new and the improvement and extension of existing irrigation projects. The new law, known as the Small Reclamation Project Act, authorizes creation of a fund of $100,000,000 which can be made available to local organizations in the form of loans and grants up to a total of $5,000,000.

The new law, known as the Small Reclamation Project Act, authorizes creation of a fund of $100,000,000 which can be made available to local organizations in the form of loans and grants up to a total of $5,000,000 for any single development under contracts providing for repayment of borrowed money within 50 years. "The procedure under this unique statute will be as simple and inexpensive as possible," Kuchel stated. "I have been told by Commissioner Dexheimer that the Reclamation Bureau hopes sponsors of proposed projects will consult directly with Regional Directors about perfecting both construction and financing plans and there will be a minimum of formalities involved in submitting formal applications for Federal financial assistance. There will be a minimum of red tape." Commissioner Dexheimer told Kuchel the Bureau will not require use of any standard application blank or prescribed forms in presenting proposals to the Reclamation Bureau. The Commissioner wrote the California Senator: "If each applicant is free to use its own style of presentation, the resulting submissions will probably be clearer than if one must conform to an artificial style. However, we will be glad to make suggestions and provide samples of material through our Regional Directors." The Interior Department will require data proving the feasibility of all proposed projects, Dexheimer noted, and specific financing plans must be submitted in seeking Federal financial aid. The Commissioner also pointed out that any new undertakings must be recommended by the Governor or other appropriate state authority and, if they involve interstate streams, of other states in the affected drainage basin.

Lleo Huntington Beach Dexheimer noted, and specific financing plans must be submitted in seeking Federal financial aid. The Commissioner also pointed out that any new undertakings must be recommended by the Governor or other appropriate state authority and, if they involve interstate streams, of other states in the affected drainage basin. Before Federal funds are advanced, every contract must be presented to Congress for review, Kuchel noted. The Senate and House Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs will have 60 days in which to disapprove of any contract but the new act provides Congress may over-ride a negative decision of the Committees. The California Senator said the new law should be of considerable benefit to many sections of California because there is steady need for additional works to supply increased amounts of water to areas already under cultivation as well as for new undertakings to irrigate new lands susceptible for farming. While the limit of Federal aid on any single development is $5,000,000, Kuchel noted that funds may be obtained for works which will cost a maximum of $10,000,000 if the sponsors are able to supply half of the total outlay. Agencies desiring to undertake such works otherwise will not be required to have in hand from their own sources more than 25 percent of the amount needed to cover what are regarded as reimbursable costs.
