Farley Hopes to Settle
Row on Water In
Texas River

ANGLET0N, Tex, July 19.-(PD-
Two factions of Wharton and Mata-
gorla county citizens. rice growers
and officials conferred here today in
an attempt to settle a controversy
over damming the Colorado river
for rice irrigation.
One faction. headed BY the Whar-
ton county river commission. con-
tended erection of a dam would
lead TO formation Of another raft
in the river. with Is attendant dan
ger Of flood. A Houston dredging
contractor has been working for
three years in an effort to remove
a raft and restore the original bed
TO the river. The completed lob
would have saved Wharton from
flood menace but would have taken
away gravity water from rice farm
ers in Matagorda county. The other
faction, led by the Markham Irriza-
tion company. ~contended that the
rice crop Of its clients could not be
mstured without additional water
and asked permission 10 construct
a temporary dam. offering to rost
sufficient money to guarantee
against any damage which might re-
suit.
The controversy originated when
farmers. learning the removal Of the
raft would cut their water supply
threatened to get water for their
rice farms zone way or another"
They began damming the river at
Dry Creek. When officials OF the
dredging company protested against
this dam. warrants were sworn out
against 81 farmers. Eight were ar
rested. and removal OF the obstruc-
ton was begun yesterday.
