Local water leaders criticized the County Board of Supervisors for asking Governor Reagan to veto a bill that would rename Cedar Springs Lake to Silverwood Lake.

Edison plant becomes focus of Redlands San Bernardino airport talks
Redlands and San Bernardino officials masthead a tentative boundary plan to swap 457 acres and annex Edison company steam plant land for a new airport site on the south side of the Santa Ana river. The agreement would realign city limits, allow Edison to annex its plant to San Bernardino, and require mutual legal assurances. If the airport is not developed in time, the land reverts to Redlands.
