Trustees Jones and Nielsen and City
Engineer Bassett, who had Just returned
from an inspection of the property of the
California Water Company, on the George
town divide, in FL Dorado county, said
they would submit a written report on
Monday next. They had made very care
tul and close inspection of the water of
Loon Lake and its feeders, and while they
thought their waters pure, and what the
city wants, they were of the opinion that
they could not be transmitted to Sacra-
mento in a pure state unless piped from
about Tunnel Hill or some point upon the
Rubieon. The citizens of Georgetown, they
say, do not use the water for domestic pur-
poses, but the committee attribute that
more to the fact that they have wells of
sparkling cold water in every door-yard,
which costs them nothing, and than which
there is no better. The committee are
much pleased with the section visited, say
the people are prosperous. healthy and
contented; Georgetown a beautiful and
thriving mountain town, and the belt of
timber just beyond the finest they ever
beheld. The first crop, especially apples
and grapes, is abundant, and as the quail
ity grown in that section is of peculiar and
excellent flavor the orchardist and vine
yardist are receiving good prices.
The Board, after allowing a number of
small bills, adjourned for the week.
