1t is sincerely to be hoped that the experience
of the present season will attract the attention
of those interested in California to the absolute
necessity which exists for the encouragement of
water projects-the formation of canal compa-
nies, and more especially for the management OF
them in such manner as TO inspire not only the
public here, but capitalists abroad, with conf
dence in the regular payment by them of large
profits to all the parties engaged upon them
To tins nothing can much conduce as the reg
uar publication of the results of the operations
of each company and we most earnestly call
upon the directors of the principal canals to

to the public. We want monthly statement
of receipts aud expenditures from each-an ac-
count OF profits made, or money lost, with a
schedule OF the work done by each, down to ev-
cry tom head" of water furnished. Thus alone
can we demonstrate to those abroad who may
have money to invest, the advantages OF putting
it into water stocks, and so make it subservient
10 the interests of the State.
