A large water distribution project by Southern California Irrigation Water Co aims to supply over 200,000 acres with a three-reservoir system named The Olay The Moran and a new Barr dam, located miles from the city, to store about 13 000 000 gallons and divert vast volumes through zigzag tunnels and rock blasting. The dam will be 100 feet high 448 feet long and 408 feet thick at its base with an estimated cost near 260 000 dollars.

Parade Routing for Pall Festival Week Proposed Route
A committee recommends a specific parade formation starting at Tenth and Quincy. Parades would travel north on Quincy then west to Kansas Avenue, south to Ninth, then west on Ninth to Jackson where President Ripley's reviewing stand will be. The route avoids tangling the Santa Fe and Moral processions and may adjust for the military parade and Karnival Knights event.

Findings of Special Master Clark to be filed in federal court
Special Master Clark's findings will be filed in federal court within a few days. The three most relied upon are that Clark had no fee to inquire into events before 1884, the formation date of the present company, that 3600,000 in real estate and improvements were omitted, and that the property value estimate is over a million dollars too low. The first objection, if sustained, could outweigh others, since about 90 percent of 1884 stock was Water's and old and new stockholders were effectively the same. The state's exceptions will be filed next week, as numerous as the company's, with interstate commerce value findings expected to be the most significant objections.
