JOHN CmNAMAN seems to have about
settled down to the correct idea that he
made great fool of himself in not reg
istering as required by the Geary law.
There is only one thing that can aave
him, and that is the possibility that the
supreme court of the United States
should entertain the appeal for a re-
hearing, which would throw the ques-
ton over to October, congress assem-
bling in September in extra session.
There ia bare possibility that congress
might extend the period for registration,
and thua allow the heather to retrieve
his foolish mistake. Everything in the

penae incurred in pumping, by obtain
ing a great fall which is obtained from a
source 152 feet above the intersection Of
two of our most prominent business
streets. Tie principal speech in favor
of accepting this piece oil land was
made by Mr.. Munson, councilman from
the third ward, in which he set forth the
following points Of interest:
Firet-The point at which the water
is to be taken out of the Los Angeles
river is at the mouth OF the Big Tejun-
ga, nearly a mile from where it is now
being taken out on the Proyidencia
rancho by the Citizens Water company.
Second-The amount OF land bar
gained for and now held under option iH
an area OF about 434 acres more or less,
giving the city undisputed title to the
water under the law Of riparian'rights.
Third--The price agreed upon for the
property is $4,000 and the parties own
ing the property are Pomeroy & Hooker.
The option expires on the 18th OF the
present month.
Fourth-The altitude of the head
works will be 1862 feet above the corner
of Second and Spring streets, Los An.
geles.
The proposition 10 ono that the HER
AID does not care to argue upon its mer.
its, for the simple reason that we have
not had time to look them up. The city
is heavily in debt and the idea Of sad
ding it with any fresh burdens of that
character is not TO be thought Of, unless
the advocates OF the scheme can show
some very substantial benefits TO result
therefrom. No city can afford to fur
nish the consumers with impure water
or to charge exorbitant rates. If the
proposed system will give US cheap
water and pure water, improving the
quality and reducing the monthly price
of consumption, it is a desirable thing,
and the city will be warranted in the ex-
penae. 1t seems, however, to be large
body of land to purchase for such a pur-
pose
