DOWD MAKES FULLER EXPLANATION
OF PROCEDURE In WATER ORDERS
Five Day Limit Not Being Arbitrarily Imposed On

Greater Efficiency

of orders for irrigation water, M.
j. Dowd, chief engineer for the

derstanding on the part of some
of our water users regarding our
request for ordering water at least
five days in advance. Some seem
to have the idea that under no
condition will we deliver water un-
til five days after the order is
placed, but this is not correct"
"We are asking the water users
to anticipate their needs as far in
advance as possible in order to
assist us in conserving water be-
hind Boulder dam, but in any case
where we have water available in
our canals we will deliver it to
those having orders on record"
For instance: If a water user
places his order today and two
