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."
