The Los Angeles county board of supervisors may join a test suit over flood control funds after their request for 300000 of the 660000 state appropriation was rejected for not being named in the budget. Riley urges a mandamus writ to settle this phase of the dispute and determine the status of recurring budgeted appropriations. The Public Works Department approved Electro-Metals of San Francisco to divert 3000 cubic feet per second of Klamath river water for a power project at Ishi Pishi Falls, opposed by farmers and the fish and game commission since September 12 1908, with potential court action by the commission. An order to a Whittier School re parole violators remains unresolved.
