WATER HEARING
IS UP MONDAY.
Valley Interests In Austin
Fighting. Franklin
Application
Especial to The Herald)


AUSTIN, Tex, July 8.-The j. It.
Franklin hearing seeking water
from the Rio Grande to irrigate
$4,000 acres in Hidalgo county was
scheduled to get under way here at
2 p. m. after having been postponed
earlier in the day.
Valley interests both for and
against the application were on
hand for the hearing. Almost all
of the irrigation systems now in
operation in the Valley are Oppos-
ing issuance of the permit. Attor-
neys for these irrigation companies
say the normal flow Of the Rio
Grande will not provide enough
additional water to irrigate SO
large a body Of land.
The fight is expected to center
on the fact that Franklin has no
facilities for storing the water.
Nearly two years ago the water
board adopted an order refusing to
grant diversion from the Rio
Grande without storage facilities
being provided. Franklin's appli-
cation is based on a presentation
taken out May 10, 1926. At that
time the board did not require
dams or reservoirs to be built.
Members said if testimony in the
Goodwin application is adopted
this hearing will be greatly short
ened. Goodwin secured a direct
permit in 1926, and his pumping
plant near the proposed Franklin
development, is now said to be
ready for operation.
