Valley Water com 2any.
1t stated that very great quantity of
water in the Los Angeles river is con-
stantly running to waste. and that the
use of small part of it upon lands in
Cshuenga valley would be of great ben
eft to the city, as the lands TO be irri-
gated are adjacent to it, and would
form an important suburb.
1t is stated that the main supply ditch
owned and used by the city is capable
of supplying, in addition to all require
ments OF the city, sufficient quantity
OF water required by the valley.
The company therefore petitions the
council to furnish from the main supply
ditch, ct point near Ivanhoe, at least
500 inches of water under 4-inch pres
sure, constant flow.
Alter the petition had been read, Mr..
Galbraith and Mr.. Willoughby Cole ad-
dressed the council in behalf of the
petition.
They stated that the Water company
had been organized for the purpose of
bringing about this improvement and
80 that the council would have some one
to do business with. The company was
not organized for speculative purposes,
but to get water to the section tributary
to the city.
Mr.. Munson said a committee had
come before the water committee long
time aco, and had been told to get their
proposition in shape. There was un-
douStedly water that could be devoted

mittee on water supply.
