WASHINGTON. April s.-Congress-
man Sinnott was advised yesterday
that the delay in opening the west

over the telephone this morning
H. d. Newell, project manager, de-
clared that the report that any crops
are endangered by lack of water is
all "tommyrot." He stated that he
knew of no crop in on the west ex-
tension but stated that anyone who
wanted water could secure it on a
rental basis
The complaint. he stated. probably
comes from those who want to make
filings and this can not be done un-
til the formal opening of the west
extension He had hoped. he said,
that this opening would be about
April but unavoidable circumstances
had delayed the opening. He said
he could not say exactly when the
opening would be but he hoped be-
foretwo months.
Water is just beginning to be turn
ed into the canals of the project
proper, Mr.. Newell stated. though
there is very little call for it at this
time owing to the fact that the heavy
rains and SHOWS left the ground very
moist.
