PLAN TO IMPROVE
SACRAMENTO RIVER
Land Owners, Shippers and
Government Engineers Will
Meet Saturday Afternoon

A meeting of land owners, shipping
men, government engineers, and mem
bers of the California debris commits
sion will be held in Rio Vista Satur-
day afternoon, August 2S, for the pur-
pose of considering plans to widen and
straighten the Sacramento river. A
project has been outlined by Lieuten-
ant Colonel John BiddIe and Captain
Thomas H. Jackson of the California
debris commission for improving the
stream from Rio Vista to Collinsville.
This work will enable the river to
carry off the flood waters and will be-
come d part of the comprehensive
scheme to prevent foundations
1t is proposed that the land owners
and those interested in the preserva-
ton of the delta lands of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers meet in
Rio Vista to accomplish the necessary
preliminary work.
PEOPLE TO BUY RIGHTS OF WAY
It is intended that some method be
devised for purchasing the right of
way from Rio Vista to Collinsville, so
that it may be presented to the war
department. Options to acquire most
u Tue ldnOS nave been obtained, and
no difficulty is anticipated on this point
It is proposed that the right of way
along the west side of the Sacramento
river between Rio Vista and Tolands
landing, together with the land on
Bakers point Sherman island be pur-
chased by voluntary subscription The
organization will not be asked to de-
fray the expenses already incurred in
connection with this undertaking.
The project has been given the sup
port of Governor Gillett and he has
been invited to attend the meeting. 1t
is the hope of the committee that the
meeting will be addressed by Lieuten-
ant Colonel John Biddle. United States
engineer in charge of rivers and har-
bors on the Pacific coast; CAPTAIN
Thomas H. Jackson, United States en-
gineer in charge of the Sacramento
river, and N. C. Ellery, state engineer.

ing may take the Santa Fe train Sat

dents along the Sacramento river who
