on the Colorado fiver is being built
-md refused to issue an injunction,
sought by the state, to restrain the

ing with the construction work.

granted the state the right to come
before it again, if at some future
time it can show its rights are be-
ing impaired by the building of the
Jam. In this event, the court said,
Arizona's cause would be unpreju-
liced by' today's action.

distribution of water to be im-
pounded at the dam, the court said.
