PLANNED
FOR WATER
ArteSian Flows to be;
Under Control

Assemblyman Buel OF Las Vegas
has introduced a bill that would III
certain measure regulate the use
of artesian water. For years where
this water is obtainable it has been
allowed to go to waste and during
the season when there was no need
for irrigation it was allowed to flow
at its will. Damage cases have result
ed in the south from such facts and
more may come.
His bill makes provision that the
wells must be properly cased and the
valves set. This is done so that the
needless flow of this water may be
shut off, and the underground waters
conserved as much as possible. Mr..
Buel expects that his section will
have to depend on this class Of irri-
CATION, but he sees no reason why
the water should be allowed to go
to waste, when it could be conserved.
This looks like common sense
bill, one that is intended for conser-
walton and one that works no hard
ship on any water owner on any
artesian belt
