Albuquerque water battle and press rivalry over ownership
The Citizen attacks the Water Supply company and its supporters over a proposed franchise extension to 1940 arguing water rates are excessive and the city should own its water works. The Journal shifts position, advocating municipal ownership, while both papers spar over motives and a proposed expert valuation. The piece also notes wider debate on water control and a regional sugar beet irrigation scheme.
