WORKS. ADVISORY BOARD
LEFT HERE Tuesday FOR
INSPECTION OF DAMSITE
(Continued from page u

u. S. secretary Of the interior, who
appointed the board. Then the board
came north to Grand Canyon, on Sun
day, leaving there Monday noon for
Williams, where Los Angeles automo-
biles were waiting for the balance Of
the trip.
Flagstaff got word of the exact
time Of the arrival of the advisory
board here on Monday forenoon, when
two Of the Los Angeles city employees
came to Flagstaff to see if it could
be learned here whether there was a
boat at Lees Ferry that would carry
the party the six miles up the river
to the Glenn Canyon damsite. It was
learned that Jerry Johnson, custodian
at Lees. Ferry, has small power
boat that would accommodate five or
six. The party had another small
power boat on the equipment truck,
and the belief was when they left here
at seven o'clock Tuesday morning that
with the two boats they could reach
Glenn Canyon. In the event that they
cannot get there with the boats, horses
will be furnished.
The county board Of supervisors
was in session here Monday and all
of the members were anxious to make
sure that the party should have every
facility to visit Glenn Canyon. To get
to it by land would necessitate an
