ing up their private car at that place
and arriving at Parker on the Colo

lands, diversion damsite and storage
damsite.
The San Carlos committee is expect
ed to look out for the needs of the
party while it is inspecting this prof.

use. Helpful assistance is expected
from the Florence and Casa Grande
chambers of commerce and from the
local posts of the American legion
and committees from these organiza-
tions will he asked to cooperate in
welcoming this body of distinguished
visitors to the valley. 1t is realized
that this is one of the powerful COM
mittees of congress and every effort
will be made to see that the members
get good chance to size up the great
benefits which will accure from the
building of the San Carlos project
The Casa Grande committeeman
who expect to attend the dinner given
the party at the Florence hotel that
evening will be asked to be on hand
not later than o'clock sharp and as
many as can conveniently will be ex-
pected to meet the party at Sacaton
after lunch about 2 or 2:3O o'clock
, prior to their leaving on the return
trip to Florence, the diversion site and
the hotel, and will be expected to ac-
company the party back.
Every effort will he made to COM
ply with Congressman Hayden's re-
quest to run on schedule time and
t members and committeeman will be
asked to bend their efforts to assist
in seeing that no delay occurs.
1t goes without saying that events
: are tending in the direction Of the
San Carlos dam when congressional
[ committees begin to earnestly inves-
, tigate; when government contractors
, are about to begin the construction
f of a diversion dam above Florence,
and when the United States reclama-
tion service is busily engaged at this
time in bringing the data on our great
storage project right down to date.
1t augurs well.
