SQUABBLE OVER
HETCH HETCHY
WATER RIGHTS
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 28.—
Aroused over the application made
by the city of Los Angeles for hydro
electric power privileges on the same
stream that San Francisco has its
$45,000,000 water project, city offi
cials have begun preparation of their
counter attack. The first steps are be
ing prepared by Special Counsel Rob
ert M. Searles and include a trip to
Hetch Hetchy for the State Water
Commission.
“I want the State Water Commis
sion to become personally acquainted
with just what the granting of such
privileges as the city of Los Angeles
is asking for will mean to San Fran
cisco,” said Searles. “I have asked
President C. H. Lee and Egineer E.
Hyatt of the state water commission
to go with me to Hetch Hetchy. They
have not. replied yet, but I am in
hopes that I can get representatives
of that body on the ground within a
very short time.”
In the meantime the applications
that ordinarily follow the request to
the state water commission to ap
propriate water have not yet reached
the department of the interior at
Washington. While the state water
commission has the right under the
state law to allow appropriations of
water, the building of power houses
and making use of the national parks
is a matter that rest with the will of
a commission composed of the secre
tary of the interior, war and agricul
ture at Washington. The requests are
filed with the department of the in
terior and acted upon by the members
of the commission.
Assistant City Engineer Cleary also
began to make a thorough search
from an engineering standpoint of the
interference that the city would en
counter should another city be al
lowed privileges on the same stream.
And in this connection he said:
Without question the granting to
the city of Los Angeles the privileges
it is asking on the main or middle
fork of the Tuolumne river would lead
to endless trouble. So far as the con
servation of hydro-electric energy is
concerned. San Francisco can be
trusted to utilize all that there is in
that region.
On the other hand the Raker bill,
the congressional grant giving San
Francisco its right in the Hetch
Hetchy, imposes duties upon the
city that it might be very difficult
to fulfill if any one else whose in
terests lie in a different direction can
interfere with the flow of water.
We are compelled to allow a cer
tain amount of water to go down
to the irragationists in the Madesto
and Turlock districts. If Los An
geles is to be allowed to store water
on the same stream it may be de
sirous of saving water just at the
time it would be to the interest of
this city to allow it to go on. The
result of this would be immediately
a collision of interests. This is
only one of many cases of interfer
ence that might result.
