SEVERE DROUTH
SHOWS NEED OF
MAMMOTH DAM
Boulder Project Would Sup
ply Water to Arid Regions
of Southwest.
BIZ Times Special

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 1S.-Drouth,
the worst in the recorded history OF
the white man in this region, is STEP
ping in as an ally Of those fighting for
the Swing johnson bill and the Boul.
der Dam project.
With the delegation in Washington
this week from the Southwest is VII.
liam Mulholland. father OF the Los
Angeles aqueduct, and for forty years
the States best authority on water
development. Mulholland has declared
that the Boulder Dam will not only
save the valleys OF the Southwest from
floods. reclaim new kingdoms from
the desert and give industry abundant
from "a desperate danger of a domes-
tic water shortage"
Engineers now are surveying for a
water main over the desert between
Lon Angeles and Las Vegas, the site
OF the proposed Boulder Canyon dam
This, says Mulholland. will be- capable
of carrying water to Los Angeles anC
Southern California in quantities sui
ticient to remove the menace, now for
the first time realized, Of an actual
water famine in the congseted region
about this city.
I'VE have provided for a popula
ton Of two millions" he said. but
this is tie dryest year on record. Not
only has Insufficient rain fallen in the
valleys, but the mountains have q
depth of only three feet of snow al
the summit. whore the usual depth is
ten feet.
Los Angeles will have no shortage,
but the orange groves probably will
have to curtail irrigation.
1T took a threatened water short
age to scare us into our Owens River
aqueduct. Perhaps this drputh Is
sent by divine Providence to hurry
along the boulder dam project"
Mulholland explained that the pow.
er generated at the dam could be
used to lift the water over the
mountains. Gravity would bring it to
the city lie says the plan is feasible
from an engineering standpoint and
would enable water users to get
plenty Of water without an advance
in present prices.
