Bill On Reduction
BY LLOYD LAPHAM

SACRAMENTO, April 80.
CUP)-The state senate was
due to cast a vote on the
course of future development of
CALIFORNIA; water resources this
week as the legislators reassem-
bled to start the ninth week of
their l945 session.
Up for passage Y the senate was
a bill in effect indorsIng flood con-
troll plans of the U. S. corps of en-
gineerS. Meantime, the senate rev.
enue and taxation committee sched-
uled the assembly-approved tax re-
duction bill for hearing Tuesday
night.
GAS TAX CONSIDERED
A measure authorizing construc-
ton of network of limited access
highways or freeways" financed by
a ~ cent per gallon increase in
the gasoline tax was being pushed as
a compromise in the deadlock over
subsidies to cities and counties.
Legislative passage Of the senate
flood control bill would have the
effect of indorsing the corps of en-
gineer's method of development over
the type undertaken by the federal
bureau of reclamation.
The bill would commit the state
to pay $3l,C00,000 in local costs of
a postwar program proposed by the
engineers. Sen. Bradford Critten-
den, (R0, Stockton, author of the
bill, has argued that the engineers
have authorization for a program
costing more than $125,000,0O0 in
northern California alone and that
local contributions should be avail
able.
OPPONENTS SPEAK
Opponents of the bill contend that
the engineers stress flood control
aspects of water projects while the
bureau of reclamation, which is con-
structing the Central Valley prof.
ect emphasize irrigation and power
development.
