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 And if the northern water can be withdrawn from the south as it is needed inthe areas of origin, the compulsion will be on the south to get these additional projects built."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 Advertisement Advertisement © adminixtered by $18,000 taxpayer.
