URGE WATER GRANT
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
Lane, Houston, and Pinchot
Tell congressman City
Needs Supply.

Two great department heads, Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane and Secretary
&of Agriculture Houston, and a former
chief forester. Clifford Pinchot, today
told the House Public Lands Commit
tee. opening its three days hearing on
the Hetch Hetchy water right bill. that
San Francisco's right to the water was
pre-eminent over any other.
Secretary Houston declared that San
Francisco's need of water was greater
than the need of conservationists or ir-
rigationists.
I'VE can't afford to stand in the way
Of the growth of San Francisco" he
or the land. Domestic conservation,
that is, the health and sanitation Of the
people is greater than forest conserva-
ton. However, from advices which
have / don't believe that diverting these
waters will inture the forest Of the
Yosemite National Park. 1t may even
improve them"
Secretary Lane said that the bill as
now drawn satisfied the Interior De-
partment and that from his own
knowledge he realized that San Fran
cisco needed the water above all other
interests.
Hardship On 10 One.
"Diverting the waters as provided in
this bill will work a hardship on no
one" he said. There is only one pro-
vision which 1 believe should be
changed. That is the provision
which provides for the revenue
to the Government. This should be
guided by the water rates charged
consumers by the city of San Fran
cisco. / will send the committee a
substitute provision"
Congressman Decker of Missouri
asked the Secretary If he did not be
lieve that the Government should
that the people of San Francisco
might benefit by cheaper water rates.
Secretary Lane agreed with Mr.. Deck
er and declared that the Government
should fix a low rental rate controlled
by the water rent charged by San
Francisco. to run thirty years.
After thirty years he said. Il be-
lieve a new agreement should be made
and new rate fixed The revenue
which the Government will receive from
San Francisco will be put into improve
ments in Yosemite and other national
parks. Hotels, inns, and roads will be
built and in a short time j believe these
parks will be self-sustaining."
- Pinchot for Bill.
Characterizing the Hetch Hetchy wa
ter right bill as one of the most dis
cussed ever before Congress. former
chief of the Forestry Service. Clifford
Pinchot. declared that the bill should
be speedily passed.
AS / understand il now, the only OBJ
jections to the bill are from nature loy-
ers, and from outlying irrigationists. q. i
believe that t..e need of San Francisco
is far greater than these objections"
Outside the mature lovers" there will
be only one other opponent to the Hetch
Hetchy bill when opponents have rheir
hearing on Friday. This will be l.. l..
bennett, representing Santislous county
irrigationists. Other Department Off
cials, including Chief Forester Graves,
will be heard tonight. TomosSow San
Francisco will present her arguments.
