Charleston Dam project urged by state officials
State Treasurer H S Ross in Tombstone urged Cochise County residents to mobilize for the Charleston Dam project. He noted a $100,000 state fund for preliminary surveys, with only about 15,000 expended, and urged local action to secure federal matching funds. The State Land Board will cooperate, but citizens must push the process through the Interior Department in Washington and then coordinate plans and estimates for a 50 50 state federal match.
