“… After further discussion, the following resolution also was adopted:

“Resolved: That it is the sense of this meeting of the San Francisco Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, that if the Legislature deems it wise to appropriate any money for investigating the water problems of the State, that such investigation be general, that such sums be expended by the State Engineering Department and other related and existing State agencies, and that no appropriation be made for the investigation of any particular project or scheme.”

Mr. C. H. Lee, of the Water Commission, discussed a number of bills relating to water rights of the State which are now proposed for action by the State Legislature. On motion, duly made, and seconded, the meeting voted unanimously that the Chair appoint a committee of three to study bills affecting water rights, and to report to the meeting of February 15th, 1921. Subsequently, Messrs. T. H. Means, Chairman, Norton Ware, and F. C. Herrmann were appointed on this Committee. …”
