Along in the autumn the contract
was back again in the Interior Depart
ment. The Assistant Attorney-Gener
al for the Interior Department, Mr.
Lawler, has spent considerable time
over it. When Secretary Baliinger
went West, after his trip to Beverly
Mass, to see the President, he visited
Lake Tahoe to study on the ground
some Of the problems.
Reclamation officials take a differ
ent view of the importance of the con-
tract. They regard its completion as
essential to the irrigation of about
100000 acres of extension of the Tru-
ckee-Carson project. They saw that
to obtain sufficient water for the ex-
tension they should have the use of
water owned by persons who obtained
their rights from the State of Cali
fornia But in conducting this water
TO the project they must cross private
1sAts of way. The contract has to
do with getting that water on terms
acceptable.
Whether this means that the
extensions will be de
layed cannot be ascertained There
is not much of an entente these days
between the Secretary and the Recla-
nation Service, although the Recla-
nation Bureau comes under the Sec
rtary's jurisdiction. The Reclamation
officials know little of the Secretary's
plans until his plans are promulgatd
