Oroville. Calif Con struction on the mightiest water development in history symboli cally was started Saturday when California's Gov. Goodwin J. Knight turned the first spadeful of earth at the1 Feather River project. When completed, the 1 ' j bil lion dollar project will feature the lar,gest concrete dam in the world and a man-made river longer than the Rhine, including a 10 mile tunnel in the Tchacli" api Mountains through which water will be pumped to arid Southern California. The 19 years-plus project is the focal point of Q bitter figjit between water-rich northern California and southern Califor nia. It involves the "counties of origin" proposal which simply is ii quarrel over whO will have first claim on the waters of the Fbather. flTsefc ftrSS Call O Powerf ulo southern California factions in the state legislature hav refused to agree to the pro ject without a guarantee of so much water1 through good years and bad. Northern California legislators ar just as zealously fighting) for first call on the vailabl water as fundamental right. The 6.a( constitution must be amended to settle the issue. Knight pointed up the need! for settling these differences without interfering with the or- derly construction of the project. "It is essential that (fe water rights question reservation for con and should have 1 h is abso lutely essential project well un flarway whila those matters not relating to construction are set- tiea."
