INSISTS ON DETAILED REPORT

1t seems that Capital City Lodge

receipts and expenditures of the Gen
eral Committee and wishes this re-
port made through the committee
from the lodge authorized to receive

anime the same and make the re-
mort direct to the lodge. Until this
IS done, it declines to recognize the
existence of a deficit, which deficit
is 10 be made up by the lodges mere

of the Grand Lodge and the female

WATER OFFICIALS
CONFER ON ACTION
FOR MORE WATER
State May Bring Suit
Against Upper Basin
Area

Attorney Charles l.. Childcrs and
Chief Engineer Ray S. Carberry
of the Imperial Irrigation district
&rc nj Sacramento today TO request
Attorney General webb to bring
suit in the name of the state Of
California against the states Of the
upper Colorado river basin to en-
Join them from taking more water
from the river until there is n stor-
age provided for the flood flow.
The action is taken in the hope of
bringing ont the legal rights of the
Imperial Irrigation distyict to the
waters Of the Colorado and has been
prompted by the shortage which oc-
cured last year when there was not
enough water in the river to meet
the requirements Of Imperial, Palo
Verde and Yuma Valleys. Ranches
in each Of these scctins were fore
cd to 90 on pro rata basis for wa
ter for several months.
This shortage, it is stated. was due
TO heavy Withdrawals made by the
upper states, much heavier in last
that IN former years. Investigation
las shown that continued with
Grawals until sach time as storage
facilities have been established, will
work 4 great hardship ON the lower
regions of the basin.
1t is believed that bringin~ az ion
in the name Of the state viii speed
up action i'm tha courts.
just what effect the conference
at Sacramento viii have ON leg
islation now pcnding in Washington
regarding the development Of the
Colorado, is not known, but that il
will emphasize the need of lhe
lower valley for storage of water, is
mdoubtcd. 1t may also have a bear
ing in the ratification of the Santa
Fc pact by Arizona, and on the ac-
tion Of Nevada in withdrawing
from the pact, rs the latter covors
