Diemer, general manager and chief engineer of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The new water supply is being provided through what is called the Lower Feeder of the Metropolitan Water District's distribution system that was completed and placed in operation July 1, 1957. This line will increase by 50 per cent the amount of softened and filtered water available to the Orange County cities and areas. "During the hot summer days these Orange County areas are using much more water than they ordinarily require. This has resulted in a critical situation because the Orange County coastal cities and areas have little or no surface storage and some of them have no additional wells which they can call upon to help meet peak demands," said M. Diemer. "In the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana and Buena Park the extraordinary peak demands for water during the hot days have been met by bringing into operation local wells that provide valuable standby service." "The new facilities will permit deliveries of softened water at a rate of 50 per cent more than has previously been possible. Water will be supplied to the new facilities by way of the District's 1,500 acre-foot Garvey Reservoir in Monterey Park, through existing lines that serve the harbor area, to South Gate and thence through the new lines to Orange County users," Mr. Diemer concluded. Tournament Entries Rolling in Fast Junior Baseball First team entries for the 12th Secretary Wilson taking the view that military aircraft must be subjected to closer regulation and control in flying supersonic aircraft. The Commerce Secretary's letter was the result of one from Kuchel, prompted by a number of complaints and a formal resolution of protest by the Los Angeles City Council. "The Secretary of Commerce indicates he agrees with me" Kuchel stated," that measures previously taken to protect people on the ground in areas such as Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego are not sufficient to spare them alarm and prevent cracked windows, falling plaster, and other physical damage, if nothing worse. "The Secretary of Commerce, as a result of my talks with the Civil Aeronautics Administration, recently asked Defense Secretary Wilson to tighten control over airplanes which fly at supersonic speeds, crack the sound barrier, and often send strong shock waves hurtling at the earth." Kuchel previously appealed to the Air Force and the Civil Aeronautics Administration for more stringent regulations governing armed services aircraft. He cited as need for such action sonic blasts which caused widespread alarm and brought complaints of injury to homes and other buildings a few weeks ago and he also pointed to the collision over Pacoima last winter of two experimental aircraft which resulted in death of children in a schoolyard. Deputy Administrator William B. Davis of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, one of the officials with whom the California Senator has conferred, wrote Kuchel that his agency "hopes the ten elimination of this prob Department of Defense will hasem." The CAA official assured Kuchel also that "in the meantime, we are continuing our efforts to assist in alleviating it." Secretary Weeks in asking the Defense Department to tighten up on supersonic flying over cities remarked that some military commands have ordered transfer of such operations to areas where annoyance and apprehension will be kept to a minimum.

The money derived from the sale of the bonds will be used to help finance the district's $200 million expansion program to bring its Colorado River Aqueduct to its full, ultimate capacity of one billion gallons of water a day for southern California, the district official said. Additional issues of a similar nature will be forthcoming, he declared.

Because of these anticipated revenues no increase in taxes for the financing of these bonds is contemplated. The Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River Aqueduct extends from its intake above Parker Dam across the entire state of California and serves 79 incorporated cities and large unincorporated areas within the boundaries of the district. The present area of the district is approximately 3,000 square miles containing a population of more than 6,500,000 and having an assessed vaulation of about $10,700,000,000.
