Water supply for Los Angeles, Cal.

Congressman John F. Lacey, on behalf of the Committee on the Public Lands, submits a report recommending changes to a bill which would grant Los Angeles, California the right of way to construct the necessary structures to provide the city with water and electric power. The suggested wording stipulates that within one year Los Angeles will file maps showing the land it has used in this matter. Land used in this way does not supersede homestead, mining, or other valid claims to the land without due process of law to acquire the land. Los Angeles must not impact the Forest Reserves in the course of construction, and must pay for any damages that occur. The suggested changes will ensure that Los Angeles has an abundant supply of water and power, and will be able to continue to grow in the future.
