4 Monday, iune 3, 1957 Ret Daffy facts Beaver's Funds Bills Pass Assembly With the State Legislature booming along in the final days of the session, both Assemblyman Jack Beaver of Redlands and Senator James Cunningham, of San Bernardino are pushing for legislation aimed at this par ucular area Reporting by telephone today from Sacramento, Mr. Beaverj mid five bills of his in one pack- ape have now gone to the senate where he is hopeful of passage bclore the legislature adjourns. All passed last night, Mr. Bea-! ver said his bill IA 1H4.) will 1 provide 5750,000 starting in 1958-. 38 iiscal year for the State Soil Conservation commission to carry nut authorized small watershed flood control projects.

Another bill in the same vein appropriates $1 million from the investment fund the mem of Water Resources to con- 1 struct debris basins, clearing and cleaning channels, levees and oth er necessary work within and below areas denuded by forest fires. An emergency measure, it is aimed at stopping possible flood damage from burned over areas such as in the San Bernardino, San Diego and Malibu areas. Assemblyman Beaver stated I hat "'It means the Assembly passed to the Senate this 51 million appropriation in my bill from the Tidelands Oil money for purposes of protecting the underground basins with San Bernardino getting first priority below the national forest area in our local water basin. 1 will seek approval oil this measure in the Senate." Funds For Re-Seeding Another conservation measure provides 5320,000 emergency funds for the division of forestry to permit the state forester and director of natural resources to re-seed burned areas at once without waiting for the approval of the state forestry board. This money is already in the budget and signed by the governor, according to Assemblyman Beaver.

Another Beaver-sponsored bill provides a $50,000 increase for the National Orange Show for immediate appropriation. The funds come from race track money as stipulated in the State tion. Sir. Beaver explained that al! his bills moved to the Senate in I act. Purpose of most of them is "to protect our own water supply! and basin so that I can say 1 have done everything I can i spite of the failure of the legis lalure to approve the California Water Plan." Money for Park A Beaver bill appropriating! $250,000 to the division of beaches and parks for the construction and acquisition of a state park in San Bernardino county has also been approved.

It would be subject to approval of site and location by i he division of Beaches and Parks' and the Stale Park commission. While no location is mentioned his bill, a bill by Senator Cunningham, which apparently is similar but not connected with the Beaver bill in the Assembly would serve exactly the same purpose 1 hut the park would be located in i lie San Gorgonio wild area near Barton Flats. Sen. Cunningham has also ushered legislation through to the Assembly which will hike San Bernardino county Supervisors, salaries from SS.OOO to $7200 and flip, chairman from $10,000 to $10, soo. Meager Agenda Before Council Tuesday A meager agenda will face city council members tomorrow night with the exception of the city attorney's section where seven ordinances and two resolutions are slated for discussion.

Included among the ordinance amendments are changes in the business license regulations which will emphasize that contractor fees are for revenue purposes; will delete pinball machines from gambling devices subject to city license since they are now illegal within the city. Another revision of the business license section will require licensing of amusement devices; "such as the bucking horses your, children hound you about in front of certain markets and else where." Two revisions have to do with changing provisions for burglar alarm installers to institute procedures for these persons similar to those in effect for peddlers and solicitors. A technical change will abolish "sewer project fund" and in corporate those funds with the "sewer rental fund." Licensing of bicycles will also come in for considerable revision with a three-year licensing proposed along with upping the rate from 25 cents to 50 cents per year. The measure will also vide for "self-sticking license plates, similar to those affixed auto licenses." Current bike plates are metal. Redlands 91st On P.O.

Taylor moved into national prominence in the field oi muni- 1 cipal water law today with his 1 appointment as chairman of a national committee. Announcement of his ment came from Charles S. Rhyne, general counsel of the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers. Mr.

Taylor a named to membership on the com mittee several weeks ago. As chairman of a special com-j mittee on "Water Law Mr. Taylor will receive reports from his 12 other committeemen from all over the United States! and then be responsible for writing an annual report based on these. This report is published in the "Nimlo' Municipal Law view." This publication is sent to each of the more than 1,000 cities which make up the "Nimlo" membership. In addition to the annual report, the committee is responsible for advising the Nimlo board of directors and members of all significant developments in the field of water law.

The organization itself serves as a clearing house for information and research in all fields of municipal law and is national in scope. Mr. Taylor said today he expects to send letters to his com-j mittee shortly asking for resumes from them of court decisions and legislative acts relating to municipal water laws in their regions preparatory to writing the 20-page report. He said he feels this report will be a good opportunity to promote the interests of cities in water law by clarifying the status of cities in ownership of water rights. Colored by his feelings on recent Orange County Water suit, in which he defended the city of Redlands, Mr.

Taylor stated that "a substantial part of the public will be in jeopardy regarding its water supply unless steps are taken to assure firm water rights for cities which will stand tlis challenge of other agencies claiming paramount rights. Cities no.v are considered to have inferior appropriate rights. "The ultimate aim is either to change the concept of appropriate rights or the concept of public use." By this, Mr. Taylor explained, 'Large bodies of people within a municipality who have used water over a long period of time should be protected from a cutback in the available water supply just as others who have used water for a period of time are protected now."
