Second Suit On Prado Dam Filed
A second injunction suit was filed in superior court against the Orange County Flood Control District which is building the Prado dam. Rex B. Clark seeks to halt construction until the district condemns lands that may be flooded above the 556 foot level. The action names county supervisors as co defendants and cites failure to buy lands between 536 and 556 feet. Officials deny pledges to purchase to that level while stating federal guidance will determine needed basin lands.
