Purchase Will Provide Funds For Work on ' New Waterway
The Reconstruction Finance corporation last night authorized purchase of $40,000,000 in bonds of the Los Angeles metropolitan water district, as the flrst step in building a giant aqueduct from the Colorado river to southern California.
The purchase is expected to provide funds for the first two years of work on the $220,000,000 project, which will link Los Angeles and surrounding communities with Hoover dam.
The district’s directorates were advised from R. F. C. headquarters in Washington that the bonds will be purchased in varying blocks as the money is required, rather than in one sum. Savings in interest will be accomplished in this way, it was said.
John G. Bullock, member of the board, said he hoped the project, one of the largest ever planned in the United States, will be started within 40 or 60 days. It will provide employment for a,p-proximatelv 10,000 men over a six year period.
