pose, unless this natural flow of the river and tributaries above 

 La Grange dam be in excess of the actual capacities of the 

 canals of said districts, even when they shall have been 

 brought up to the full volumes named, 1,500 second-feet 

 for the Turlock Irrigation District and 850 second-feet for 

 the Modesto Irrigation District.

 interfere with the storage of flood waters, in sites other 

 than Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor by the Modesto and 

 Turlock Irrigation Districts, or either of said districts, for 

 use in said districts, and will return to the Tuolumne River 

 above La Grange dam, for the use of said irrigation districts, 

 all surplus or waste flow of the river which may be used 

 for power. 



6. The city of San Francisco will, upon request, sell to 

 said Modesto and Turlock Irrigation Districts, for the use 

 of any landowner or owners therein, for pumping sub- 

 surface water for drainage or irrigation, any excess of 

 electric power which may be generated, such as may not 

 be used for the water supply herein provided and for the 

 actual municipal purposes of the city and county of San 

 Francisco (which purposes shall not include sale to private 

 persons nor to corporations), at such price as will actually 

 reimburse the said city and county for developing and 

 transmitting the surplus electrical energy thus sold, the 

 price, in case of dispute, to be fixed by the Secretary of the 

 Interior; and no power plant shall be interposed on the 

 line of flow except by the said city and county, except for 

 the purposes and under the limitations above set forth.

 when built to its greatest economic and safe height, and 

 whenever, in the opinion of the engineer in charge of the 

 reservoirs on behalf of said city and county and of the 

 municipalities sharing in this supply, the volume of water 

 on storage in the reservoirs herein appHed for is in excess 

 of the seasonal requirements of said municipalities, and that 

 it is safe to do so, that such excess will be liberated at such 

 times and in such amounts as said districts may designate, 

 at a price to said districts not to exceed the proportionate 

 cost of storage and sinking fund chargeable to the volumes 

 thus liberated, the price, in case of dispute, to be fixed by 

 the Secretary of the Interior; provided that no prescriptive 

 or other right shall ever inure or attach to said districts 

 by user or otherwise to the water thus liberated.
