California official criticizes East Side water project plan
Norman B. Livermore, head of the state resources agency, told U.S. Interior Secretary Hickel he has 10 major reservations about the East Side Project to divert Northern California water south to irrigate San Joaquin Valley farms. He warned of potential delta ecology impacts and questioned the 50 year investment return schedule, while calling for specific assurances on fisheries, water sufficiency, and recreation before congressional authorization. He stated the project is a sound engineering proposal but urged Congress to resolve ecology and water-availability issues prior to final report. The plan would move water from a dam near Auburn to central and eastern San Joaquin farmland, drawing on streams now flowing to the Sacramento and American rivers, amid political controversy and opposition from delta-area counties.

Airline Emission Rule Change Draws Local Fire
County officials Warren M. Dorn and smog chief Robert J. Chass condemned a late session bill allowing airlines to delay emission control devices. If Reagan signs, airlines may only pledge to install FAA certified devices when available, delaying cleanup of over 100 tons of pollutants daily. They urge a veto.

Bonds for steady income and capital gains
Investors are urged to consider corporate and municipal bonds for income. Municipal bonds offer tax free interest potentially yielding up to 12 percent after taxes, while corporate bonds provide high yields in taxable brackets. Buying older bonds at discounts also creates capital gains as rates fall. Merrill Lynch promotes its expanded fixed income team and nationwide access to bonds, inviting contact via toll free numbers.
