PASADENA, July 2S.-The question OF
the supply of water during ths balance
OF the summer and early fall is receiv-
ing much attention at present from all
quarters. There has been some talk OF
= scarcity, but from Investigations made
by the HERALD correspondent this does
not appear to be the cage to any serious
extent. Owing to the lack OF rain dug
ing the past winter the supply is con-
siderably curtailed, but with careful use
in irrigating there will be an abundance
for all purposes. Mr.. Bennett, secretary
Of the Pasadena Land and Water COM
pany, states that the company will be
able to supply all demands during the
present season. The springs at DEVILS
gate are now supplying little more
daily than is used, and have fallen of
but one inch during the first Is days OF
July. This indicates that the present
rate OF supply will be kept up during the
summer. Irrigation 10 at present at its
he;rht, and the fact that the supply is
sufficient speaks we'll for Pasadena's
water syatem. This season has been the
most severe in this respect Of any since
the system Was introduced.
The work of developing, which was
carried on at DEVILS gate last winter,
come in good play now.
In ordinary seasons the Pasadena
company has an average OF 200 inches;
this was reduced to $50 during the early
part of the summer, but is now standing
at the latter figure and there will be but
little decrease during the rest OF the
dry season. One of the largest con-
uumsrs OF wster is the city forsprinkling
purposes. A new system of sprinkling
has recently been put in operation
which, it is believed, will prove very
successful. All sprinkling is done at
nightinstead of day which, it is claimed,
saves water. enables the teams to cover
more streets aud does more good. Ow-
ing to the rapid evaporation in the day.
time the water has no chance to sink
down, but only vets the top. The
pressure is also better at night, the carts
filing in less than one-hait the time
consumed in the day. Street Superin-
teudent Buchanan ia much pleased so
far with the result OF his experiment.
