Just been built at Modesto, Cal, by
the farmers of two irrigation districts

the old gold-diggers of Bret 'Harte
tales, a crew of 500 engineers and la
borers, under the direction OF D. H.
Duncanson, are now completing the
project.
The land owners of Turlock and
Modesto counties got together and
voted to bond themselves for $5,00O,-

concrete and the result is a dam 800
feet high, 1,080 feet across, and 10

STATE TREASUER
MAKES 1922 REPORT
SPEER SUBMITS AN ITEMIZED
STATEMENT F-DISBURSE-
MENTS AND RECEIPTS.

The annual report of State Treasur-
err w. J. Speer, for the year ending
December 81, 1922, has just been
made public.
On January l, 1922, the report
shows, there was in the treasury
brought over from the previous year
the sum of $1,727,8 66.25, and during
/ the year the receipts from all sources
were $12,88980l.22, making a total of
$14,617,667.57 to be accounted for.
But the report calls attention to the
fact that all of the receipts during the
year were not available to pay APP
preparations, such items being as fol-
lows:
Rental of Western and Atlantic rail
road $540,000; sinking fund, 100000;
forest reserve fund, $l,578.97; public
service commission fund, $16,455.52;
sale of refunding bonds, $174,15913;
temporary loan from banks, $500,000;
motor vehicle fund 1881, 274.69.
These items make total of S.
53,466.31, which was not available to
pay appropriations. The Western and
Atlantic rental was not available. as
this rental for five years was hypothe-
Gated by the legislature in 1921 to pay
a current deficit.
The motor vehicle fund is not avail
able to pay appropriations because the
whole of it goes to the state highway
department for maintenance and con-
struction of roads and other depart
mental expenses.
Thus the net available receipts to
meet appropriations amounted OF So
726332.91, which was approximately
the total amount appropriated by the
Legislature for the year 1922.
