Tucson, through its engineering de-
partment filed upon the water supply
in Sabine and Sycamore canyons
promptly at midnight on May I. when
the permit Of the Great Western
Power company expired. On May 5
the city also filed an application with
the chief forester at Albuquerque for
permission to erect q, dam in Sabine
canyon on government forest reserve,
the permit of the Great Western COM
pany having been cancelled. The for
est service held that the company had
failed TO make sufficient showing of
serious intention to erect a dam. It
is now found that filings were also
made by the New State Development
company. an unknown quantity. and
by W H Daily, who was a minority

These factors in the situation have
also filed applications with the chief
