Item description from seller

23x14.3 cm, pp. [1-3] 4-8, self-wrappers, stapled. First edition. The "Allied Printing" slug is printed upside down on front cover. Signed in type at base of text on page 8: "Marsden Manson, Mem.

Manson argued that San Francisco had a legal right to use Hetch Hetchy Valley for a reservoir site under the provisions of the law passed February 15, 1901. Among his arguments in favor of club support was the claim that the reservoir would not destroy the scenic beauty of the Valley: "The cliffs rise to a height of more than 2500 feet above the valley floor, and as the reservoir will not in any case be more than 275 to 300 feet deep the apparent decrease in the height of the walls will not be perceptible to the eye of the ordinary observer." Manson also declared that Lake Eleanor would suffice for San Francisco's needs for thirty or forty years and Hetch Hetchy Valley would ". be preserved to the present generation and perhaps to the one that follows it." Scattered foxing, a very good copy. (#179237).…
