QUESTION: In buying Featfv er River water, will individual small districts like the proposed municipal district be able to con tract directly with the state water authorities, or to the appropriate agency for water, or will everyone be forced to buy through MWD? ANSWER: The availability and distribution of Feather River water is still in the investigation and study stage. As yet no plan has been set up or adopted for the distribution and sale of water. It is, New Budget Has $2,200,000 for Rights of Way Huge Job's Initial Work Expected to Be At Northern End Acquisition by the state of rights of way along the route of the proposed I street freeway in San Bernardino is expected to start within a month.

At the same time, it was learned that first money for actual con struction of the freeway is expected to be in the State Division of Highways budget for 1955-56. First major project probably will be the grade separation at the intersection of Highland and Mt. Vernon avenues and the Santa Fe mainline tracks in northwest San Bernar dino. READY TO BEGIN According to Clyde V. Kane, District Vm engineer.

State Division of Highways in San Bernardino, the state is ready to begin buying rights of way as soon as a freeway agreement is negotiated with the City of San Bernardino. "We're ready to start, all we need is the agreement," said Kane. He added the agreement is to give the state permission to close certain city streets along the approved I street freeway route. LARGE BUDGET ITEM "We have approximately in right of way funds for the San Bernardino freeway in the current budget," said Kane, adding that approximately $2,200,000 for acquiring rights of way along the route is in the approved state highway 1954-55 budget for San Bernardino County. "A total of $3,050,000 for acquiring rights of way in San Bernardino county is contained in the 1954-55 budget," said Kane.

The other $850,000 will be used to begin the buying of rights of way on other state highway projects. They include the new Vic-torville routing of U.S. Highway 66-91; the modernization of UJS. 66 between Daggett and Hector; the Adelanto bypass on U.S. 395; Highland avenue west of Mt.

Vernon avenue; the widening of State Sign Route 18 between Lakeview Point and Big Bear Dam and U.S. 99 from Colton to South street. FIGURES OFTEN CHANGE Kane pointed out actually the fundsr being made available are to be used to start acquisition of rights of way. "Right of way figures very often change. They are subject to change to fit the sometimes rapidly changing conditions," said Kane.

The district engineer pointed out when actually aquiring of San Bernardino freeway rights of way starts, it probably will begin in the Highland-Mt. Vernon avenues area where the project is planned to start.
