Scheme
John Il. Pirtle and local company have
for some time been prospecting for water
in the Cahuenga valley between Burbank
and the river, and they have found it. The
city officials became uneasy, being afraid
that the speculation of Pirtle and his asso-
ciates might affect the city's water supply.
A visit was made to the scene of opera
tons few days ago, and it was found that
a considerable sum of money had been ex-
pended on the work. About 1000 feet of
timber flune 4 feet high and q feet wide,
without a bottom other than the sand, had
been put in. The head of the flume is
about 20 feet in the ground. A great en-
cavatioI fully 40 feet wide at the top and
slanting down TO the flume had been made.
Fully 600 inches of water have been de-
veloped and is now running INTO the Los
Angeles river. Several wells have been
sunk and water is flowing from them into
the fiume. At places along the flume
water bubbles up in large quantities and
swells the stream emptying into the river.
Steps have been taken to head Off the
