the Pecos and BarstoW chambers OF
commerce. demanding that the at
torney general Of Texas act i'm
mediately to secure release Of water
impounded by dams in the Pecos
river in New Mexico, have been re-
ferred TO the Ell PasO chamber and
other commercial organizations in the
Pecos valley. with the request that
they concur in the resolutions and
forward them TO state authorities at
Austin.
Rains in the Pecos valley this
spring have prevented an actual
water famine. but the farmers claim
that il the season had been dry they
would have lacked water for the
crops due to the action Of the New
Mexico districts dammiug up the
winter water.
Several sectional weekend rains
fell in the Pecos river valley and
have served to greatly aid the second
crop Of alfalfa and in developing the
cotton crop.
