SPECIAL PERMIT FOR
CHARLESTON DAM ON
SAN PEDRO GRANTED

x special permit for the construction
of the Charleston dam on the San
Pedro river near Benson was granted
the San Pedro valley municipal irriga-
tion district last week by Frank r.
Trott, state water commissioner, ac-
cording to announcement from Ben
son. The permit gives the irrigation
district the right to impound approx
mately 155,50O acre feet of water and
stipulates that work must be under
way before January 11,192S.
protest filed with the water COM
missioners several weeks ago asking
that the permit be refused was disre-
garded on the strength of an opinion
from the attorney general, who stated
that since their protest had nothing to
do with water rights it should not be
considered. Since the permit does not
secure for the irrigation district the
right to destroy personal property,
however, the district is now negotiate
ating with the railroad company in the
hope of reaching an agreement in the
matter of removing it's tracks from the
dam site according to the Benson re-
port.
