Solons Seek New Tideland Appeal at Amarillo Convention
The National Reclamation Association prepared an appeal to Congress for legislation to give states title to submerged lands within their boundaries. The resolutions committee approved the proposal for easy adoption. Also presented were appeals from Pacific Northwest water users against loss of electricity from their own plants and Colorado support for using the interest component in power revenues to repay irrigation costs. President Truman urged an orderly national water policy. The tidelands resolution and 36 others were set for final convention action. Hubert Walters cited Northwest industry calls for Grand Coulee power, noting dam use is for irrigation and reclamation law gives farmers priority.
