ACTION ASKED
ON RIVER BILL
New Mexico Governor
Requested Outline
His Attitude

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16--R-
The attitude Of Gov. Dillon. New
Mexico, on three house bills to grant
| congressional consent to agreements
between New Mexico and other
states for division Of the waters Of
six rivers was asked in a telegram
sent to him today by Representative
| Morrow, democrat, New Mexico.
! Morrow pointed out to the COVER
nor that the bills had been passed
by the house had been amended BY
the state at the request OF the New
Mexico state water commissioner,
and the amendment had not been
concurred in by the house.
The bills relate to compacts be-
tween New Mexico and Arizona over
waters of the ella and San Francisco
rivers; between New Mexico, Okla
homa and Texas, over the waters OF
the Rio Grande, Pecos and Canadian
or Red rivers; and between New
Mexico and Oklahoma over the CT
maroon river.
"Do you favor the compacts here
tofore sent you upon the rivers of
New Mexicof" read Morrow's tele-
gram. these bills were amended
in the senate at the request Of your
water commissioner by amendment
inserted by Senator Phipps Of Colo
| RADIO.
ITO this amendment the house has
refused to oneur This legislation
Is important to the state OF New
Mexico and has had my attention
for six years, and in which the mem
bers from Oklahoma and Texas have
all concurred. The legislation would
have been signed by the president
and would now be n law If the in
reference Of your commissioners had
not requested this change.
with this amendment it appears
the legislation will fail"
The amendment referred to would
take away the power Of the depart
ment Of the interior to participate
in the Negotiations and TO make n
report to congress. The same tele-
gram was sent TO Senator-elect Bron-
son NJ. Cutting of New Mexico.

MERCEDES

Mercedes, termed the Queen City of
the Valley well deserves this name as it
is located in the exact center and is the
premier shipping point for vegetables and
fruit. 1t is a thriving city of some 5000
people, and headquarters for the largest
privately owned irrigation company in the
world, from whose system more than one
third of the entire Valley tonnage is ship
ped.
The school system is second to none,
with beautiful high school, junior high
school, and grammar schools. Beautiful
churches afford the people of practically
every denomination places of worship.
There are three beautiful parks here.
Two are located in Mercedes proper and
one in the Queen City Annex. Paved high
ways lead north, south, east and west. A
new international bridge is located just six
miles south of the city.
Mercedes has never had q real estate
boom because all OF the development here
has been made with Mercedes capital and
consequently it has steadily grown without
over development. Real estate prices con-
stantly show a marked increase.
