William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
With a few paragraphs deleted, this article is a reprint of no. 258. In addition, there is a brief history of San Francisco's efforts to get Hetch Hetchy as a reservoir site, revealing a recent disclosure that a water report unfavorable to the city's plans had been withheld from the official report of the Army Corps of Engineers, thereby increasing the city's urgent need for Hetch Hetchy.
