Disapproved.
Also, that when irrigators living
inside the city limits wish to ex-

ed to notify the Deputy Zanjero.
Approved.
Your Committee would report
that, in consequence of the many
complaints made by irrigators
along the line of the several bitches
Of the Central service, about the
great falling Off of the water sup
ply, some bitches that heretofore
furnished two heads of water now
barely have supply of one, and,
in many cases, the supply of water
has been so reduced that what did
flow in the bitches and was sold for
one irrigating head could not be
used by the purchasers in conse.
quence Of the total insufficiency in
quantity, in comparison with heads
Of water as used in the past, there
fore. 1t is recommended to your
honorable body that vigorous
policy be adopted with view to
secure to the city and its irrigators
the water of the Los Angeles river
that Of right belongs to them.
Members OF your Committee, in
company with other members of
Council and the ZaDjero, yesterday
visited the several dams and sup
ply bitches with view to discover
the cause of the great decrease of
water supply for the city irrigators,
and they would respectfully re-
port that they found q
dam across the entire river,
thereby taking the water out Of the
river and turning 1t into new
ditch built by Mr.. Glassell, just
above where the fiume on the East
side ditch crosses the Los Angeles
river, at a point below the East
side ditch, and they think not less
than three iriigating heads were
flowing In the new Glassell ditch.
They found, also, that two other
bitches were being used by the irri-
gators below the Glassell ditch and
outside the city limits, taking from
the river not less than four heads
of water running to the Corralitos.
In the three bitches above named
no less than seven irrigating heads
OF water are being continually
taken wrongfully by private per-
sons, and your Committee would
recommend the passage of the &C.
campaigning ordinance.
Ordinance read and adopted.
Your Committee also noticed
that the Los Angeles City Water
Company is causing loss of not
less than one head of water to the
city irrlgators by the waste of
water along their line Of ditch,
which might be saved to the city
by proper care and attention on the
part of the company, and they
would recommend that the Clerk
be instructed to notify the said
company to- prevent any one from
taking water out along the line of
their ditch for irrigation. Clerk
Instructed to so notify the Water
Company.

cation of the agreement made with
