Ford vetoes 6.1 billion public works bill to create jobs
President Ford vetoes the 6.1 billion public works employment bill calling it costly and unlikely to deliver jobs. He warns sponsors exaggerated projections of 600 000 to 800 000 new positions and states at most 250 000 would be created over years with late 1977 1978 impact. The veto signals a clash with Congress over public works and tax policy.

Mescalero Resort Lake Faces Water Rights Battle
The Mescalero Apache tribe faces a court fight over draining or releasing water from a reservoir at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. State officials and the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District sued in 1974 to stop pumping from the Ruidoso River into the lake.
