bridge to span the Potomac from a
point near the Lincoln memorial to
Arlington Cemetery in Virginia now
seems certainty in the not too dis

to have the approval Of Congress in
formally, but that work will not be
undertaken on it until prices have
reached normal. 'sfssS
The War Department has made a
request of Congress for an appropria-
ton of $25,0OO to start the plans.
With this sum the preliminary work
can be done and everything gotten
ready for prompt beginning once
the necessary money is authorized.
The Identification of the grounds
surrounding the Lincoln memorial
will have been practically completed
by spring, and this stately building
will have as result taken on more
dignity and impressiveness than ever.

APPLICATION FOR WATER
FROM BATTLE CREEK
DENIED LYNDON PEOPLE

1be controversy which has existed
between Linden and Pleasant Grove
for some time over water in Battle
Creek. came to an end this week when
the State Engineer, r.. Il. Caldwell,
rejected the two applications filed by
]. ID. wadley in behalf Of the people
of Lindon for certain water. There
IA a state law which makes 1t possible
for all water not being used or was
ted to be filed upon. In the appli-
cations made by Mr.. Wadley, two Sc
cond feet of water for irrigation pur-
poses and .5 second feet for culinery
purposes were asked for. He main
tanned that this water was being was
ted as It passed over the gravel bed
near the mouth Of Battle Creek can
yon. He proposed to pipe the water
over the gravel bed and thus save
the amount.
A protest against these applications
we're filed by Pleasant Grove City.
On Sept 3Oth the State Engineer came
to Pleasant Grove to hear the EVIL
dence Of both sides and investigate
the matter. The meeting was held
in the City hall. Attorney Aldridge
and Engineer McGonagle represented
Lindon, while Attorney Sam Thurman
and Engineer J. J. Hayes presented
the case for Pleasant Grove. After
hearing the both sides and making
the trip to the mouth OF the CAM.
to investigate, the State Engineer
decided to defer his decision in, the
matter until later. iee9}t d.
This week Mayor Hayes. n through
the city attorney, received the follow
ing communication from the State
Engineers office:
This Is to advise you that the pro.
test OF Pleasant Grove City against
granting of applications NO. s75S
and 1854 of J. D. wadlcy
for the appropriation Of two
second feet and g Of second
foot water ff6nie Battie. Creek have
been considered. with the result tina:
both OF these applications have been
rejected"
1t was pointed out to the State En-
gineer while he was here that this
year the water was exceptionally high
and that some water was wasted, how
ever, when there 10 scarcity OF winter
as there was two years ago, the creek
would not produce the az second feet
OF water asked by the Lindon people,
