Title	Statement of damages by E. R. Cornell
Creator	Cornell, E. R.
Date Created	1925
Date Range	1920-1929
Description	Handwritten document stating the negative impact on E. R. Cornell's trade as a construction contractor since the City of Los Angeles started buying up land in Big Pine.
Note	To meet the need for water of its growing population, the City of Los Angeles began acquiring water rights in the Owens Valley in 1905. The Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913 to bring Owens Valley water to the city. During the 1920s, the City of Los Angeles began additional large-scale purchases of land in the Owens Valley to increase its supply of water from the valley, resulting in the city's almost complete control of the valley's agricultural land. This led to a decline in the valley's agricultural infrastructure and economy.
