DISTRICT WANTS
HEARING HELD
NEAR VALLEY

Upon receipt here today of infor-
nation that DIR. Elwood Mead, com
missioner of reclamation, il calling
conference to determine what ac.
tion, if any, is to be taken in flood
protection along the Colorado river
in Mexico, Earl G. Pound, president
of the irrigation district board
stated that Imperi'l Valley is the
logical place for such meeting and
that by all means DR.. Mead must be
the presiding figure since his
knowledge of the Colorado problems
makes him the outstanding author,
ity on river protection.
"Thc district welcomes any con-
ference called by DIR. Mead on the
lcvcc situation below the Bee river
on the Colorado in Mexico and |
believe il should be held in Imperial
Valley, but if not, then at Los An
gclcs the next nearest point,
Pound declared. DR. Mead should
by all means be present. He has
an intimate knowledge of the river
beginning with his appointment by
President Roosevelt to help when
the famous flood break came in
l905.06. He knows the character
Of the stream, its probable attacks
and its treachcries. Rather than have
DR.. Mead absent wa prefer to wait
until November 18th. Our people
can hardly prepare for n conference
in Washington at this time. y
Or. Mead, himself has written the
officials of the Irrigation district
this week, the letter arriving by
special mail today, stating that he
can confer on the matter after No
vcmber 8, at a place in the west or
in Washington. He reiterated what
he has said on previous occasions,
that the flood menace in the delta
of the Colorado River is largely
menace to Mexican lands and that
the whole problem is one of national
and international importance rather
than of private concern alone.
