We have heard many excellent arguments both for and against the $1.75 billion water bond issue. Here are some of
them:
FOR: This bond issue offers the only presently feasible
way of satisfying the increasing demand for water in
central and Sondlaicn California and at the same time
of insuring the flood control needed in the north. Water
development has become more urgent than ever since
the filing by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Special Master
of his report on the division of Colorado River water.
The Burns-Porter Bond Act represents a reasonable
compromise among all the interests concerned after
more than a decade of agitation and argument. It is feasible alike from the standpoints of engineering and finance and contains adequate safeguards for both farmer
and city-dweller, both north and south. The plan contemplates substantial borrowing but also presupposes
maximum reliance on pay-as-you-go financing.
AGAINST: There is no real necessity yet for a water
program of this magnitude particularly in view of the
fact that several good alternatives have yet to be properly explored. A great deal of water now going to waste
can be reclaimed and re-used; research on the de-salinization of sea water could be greatly expanded; and,
perhaps best of all, people poaid be encouraged to move
to the water instead of constructing vast works to bring
water to the people. The economic feasibility of the
plan has not been completely verified nor is its legal
would seem tobe groundless. Doubts about ff
the financial and engineering feasibility 1
of the plan have been satisfactorily allayed by the reports of independent ex-;.
perts. Although rising costs could cause
the need for additional financing, a delay in construction would almost certainly
increase project costs. .
And as the Sacramento Bee stated in an
editorial on October 27: ee
"The broad view must be that the project
to take surplus water to the south is not
the end but only the beginrling of water
development. More and more water will be
needed, north and south, and Proposition
Isets up the machinery by which it would
be possible to achieve full conservation.
More dams and more aqueducts will have
to be builtas time goes on. And if the
northern water can be withdrawn from the
south as it is needed inthe areas of origin,
the compulsion will be on the south to get
these additional projects built."
validity assured. The safeguards afforded to various
regional interests are far from perfect. Approval of so
great a bond issue entails both a potential threat to the
State’s credit and the loss of legislative control over
water development.
We incline to the arguments in favor of
the water bonds. Regional fears inthe north
that the project would drain the north dry
