MORE TERRITORY WANTED
In the Water District Now Embracing
Anaheim
Water Runs to Waste and Means Should Be
Taken to Utilize Irvine Taking
Progressing

ANAHEIM, Sept. 26.-The annexation
OF more territory to the water district is
now one of the principal topics of con-
versaton among the stockholders OF the
Anaheim Union Water company. The
company's superintendent. MI. Sheppard,
states that fully one-half of the water
which is being taken from the Santa Ana
river is now and has been running to
waste. This surplus supply of water is
attributed to the fact of the commenting
and otherwise improving the company's
canals and lateral bitches. II, as the
superintendent states, there is so great
an excess OF water, there should he no
question in the mind of any man as to
the annexation of more territory. True,
there are many acres within the present
boundary lines which are not being Gull
tivated, and considerable land is being
cropped in a manner which does not re-
quire irrigation. but the present demand
for water by those outside the district
ought to have the preference over the
uncertain demand of those within the
district. The date fixed Tor voting upon
the question of extending the district so
as to include $500 acres more of territory
Is October 10.
