sentatives of cities and farmers both carried their water problem to the state today. They recommended to the state water code commission that a atate agency with board regulatory powers over water uses, similar to the powers of the railroad commission over oil and gas, be set up. The commission began a statewide hearing In the senate yesterday and will continue it through this morning. Approximately 100 men from over the state attended. Gov.

Allan Shivers told them that "without water, our gas and oil resources mean nothing." He predicted the time when water would be piped across the state just like oil and gas are now. J. H. Starley, Pecos, represnting the Trans-Pecos Cotton Growers Association, testified that while he believed a central water conserv- fttion agency was needed, istration should be left to local levels. A.

A. Meredith, Borger, city man- 4 ager, asked the commission to empt municipalities from certain restrictions on water rights. "We buy our water from an Industry now," he explained, "but the time may come when we'll be faced with buying large tracts of land In order to get the water underneath for the city's use." The commission was set up by the legislature last year to study the state's water problems and recommend changes In its water laws. It has held an area meeting In McAIlen and a series of West Texas area meetings In Pecos, Midland and El Paso. To Count Students In College Towns AUSTIN, Feb.
