SAN BERNARDlNo's WATER.
The City Forced to Contract With a
Private Owner.

Private Owner.
SAN BERNARDINo. June 14.-This morn
ing the City Trustees entered into con-
tract lease for term of twenty years. by
which they obtain from John l.. Camp
bell the use of 100 inches of water for the
annual rental OF $3.50, with the privilege
of buying the same water for So, 600.
Some three years ago the city erected
water works with a natural pressure OF
200 feet. obtaining the water from artesian
wells. Owing to the large number of wells
being placed on the RSynor place and at
other points below, the wells of the city
diminished in flow so that costly pumping
works had to be erected. Within the last
few weeks even the pun ping works failed
to draw sufficient water from the wells for
city purposes. endangering property in
case of fire. The paved ana macadamized
streets have been allowed TO go dry, which.
if continued, would soon destroy them,
entailing an immense loss. The City
Trustees propose in the near future to
erect an electric-light plant for lighting
the city, and as the water just obtained by
lease has 100 feet fall before reaching the
city reservoir, it will give ample power to
light the entire city. The question of
voting bonds for the purchase of this
water will probably be submitted at an
