Vi have n worked their way to Tren¬

There are three large ma¬
chines working on this job. One
will pull up the old ties and put
new ones in, a job it used t o
take about 60 men to do. An¬
other machine pulls out the old
spikes and drives i n the new
ones with no assistance except
from the two men who run the
machine. A third machine picks
up the old ties and bundles
them up, again without the aid
of human hands.
This is the first time this
modern type machinery has
been used on this road. It can
do about 100 rail lengths a day.
If done by hand, only 10 to 12
lengths could be completed in
a day.

my Stallings had sent to his

Lucille Hurst, Secy-Treas.
made the following points:
(1) There exist at present in
our State many conflicts of in¬
terests regarding the use, con¬
servation, and control of ground
and surface water.
(2) The status of our law is
such that these conflicts have
not been and are not now being
satisfactorily r e solved because
of the legal uncertainties as to
the rights and remedies of our
citizens Con cerning the use,
conservation and control of
ground and surface water.
(3) There is at present no
one State agency which has
overall authority to consider,
correlate, and administer the
diverse and comprehensive in¬
terests which exist for water.
(4) A thorough study should
be made prior to any change
in the present structure of our
law concerning water.
