Water veto praised by state engineer amid split in support
State Engineer William M. Kearney reports broad sentiment favorable to Governor Boyle's veto of the Legislature's water bill across the Eastern and Southern parts of the state. He notes opposition from the same elements that opposed his office under the current law and prepares to pass duties to successor Prof. James G. Serugham. A Las Vegas accident killed a girl named Wycott when she touched a live wire at a Salt Lake Saints exhibition game, with others shocked during the seventh inning. In Nevada, Eastern millionaires offer private steam yachts for government war use, and George Wingfield offers all horses from the Nevada Stock Farm for cavalry mounts.
