Talbott. Tat bott said in an answer to a pre . vious letter that the water for the academy had been "assured by the Colorado Springs city gor eminent , . ? A site selection board which in cluded Charles A. j Lindbergh re commended the site earlier this year and the recommendation was accepted by .Talbott. RecUmatioa Repart Engle said - the "mere stated ment" that the city government has assured a water supply for the academy "is not at . all con vincing to me and does not aQay my deep concern in the matter. ' Studies by the Bureau of Rec lamation in 1949, he said, showed that "even at that time" the city urgently needed a supplemental water supply.
