S0LONS TOLD OF
FLOOD PERIL IN
IMPERIAL VALLEY
Mayor Bacon, San Diego,
Stresses Need of
Boulder Dam

by United Press Leased Wire
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-Imper-
ial Valley faces destruction through
floods unless dam, at least 600
feet high. is built at Boluaer dam
to control the Colorado river, John
L. Bacon, mayor Of San Diego, told
the United States senate committee
on irrigation and reclamation here
today.
I'VE are facing the greatest
catastrophe in the history of Amer
lea Bacon said.
Bacon opened his testimony with
a picture of the Imperial Valley of
today as compared to the sea bot
tom it was some 200 years ago. He
explained how the Colorado river,
carrying down as much silt in one
year as the government dug out of
the Panama canal.' has twisted and
turned until the valley has been
drained.
River Is Menace
"But the river,' Bacon said, - to-
day threatens upon its next great
flood to turn back in its old bed
and wipe out this prosperous valley
with its thousands of people, its
thousands of homes and its great
productive farms.''
Bacon illustrated by maps how to-
day it is necessary for Imperial Val
lev farmers to carry irrigation wa
ter 80 miles through Mexico. He
explained the pact which exists be
tween the Mexican government and
the Imperial farmers-an agreement
which gives to Mexico part of all
water taken out of the Colorado
river for irrigation.
Bacon dwelt at length upon the
need of every Southern California
city for domestic water. He said
San Diego could not grow beyond
double its present population un-
less it gets water from the Colo
RADIO river within 10 years. He
begged the committee to fight for
the all-American canal.
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada
said he was in favor of Boulder
dam and the all-American canal, but
added that "the little group of
sturdy westerners in the senate are
fighting battle in which they may
be crushed.'
Pitmann said that "Ncw York
and other eastern senators who
knew not a single thing about wa
ter are opposing Boulder dam be-
cause it is allied with an irrigation

Earl c. Pound, director of the
Imperial Irrigation district and NJ.
}. Dowd, superintendent of the IL
rigation district followed Mayor
| Bacon as witesses. Both men read
their testimoney from prepared
transcripts. Pound said that flood
waters have already wrecked $4,000
acres of Imperial Valley land. Dowd
said that the monetary damage SO
far caused by floods will reach $lj,-
600. 900.
