SANTA BARBARA, July f7.-The city
council was in session yesterday after
noon. Reports Of officers of the public
library were read and referred to the
proper committees.
In the matter Of the proposition to
sprinkle streets with salt water. the
measure that has been before the council
several weeks was today attacked by
Councilman Cooper from the Fourth
ward. He argues that the ordinance un-
der consideration should be withdrawn
and one drafted in its place embodying
the following three propositions: A
salt water pumping outfit, the piping
of water from the city tunnels in the
mountains, and the necessary force to
carry water into the city from either or
both supplies. The issuance of bonds
would be for the purpose of meeting all
expenses incurred in carrying out one or
all the plans named. No further ac-
tion was taken at this meeting, but the
council will consider this subject at a
special session on Tuesday next
1t was'ordered that the official publica-
ton of the new charter be made in the
daily News. After transacting the usual
routine business the council adjourned.

POMONA
Dlslnc6rporatlon Agitation Discontinued and
the Water Question Settled

DisinCorporation Agitation Discontinued and
the Water Question Settled
POMONA. July 17.-As has been
stated by the local papers, the secession
movement and the water bond question
appear to have been closely allied one
to another, and now that the water bond
question is practically settled the Sc
oession movement will be dropped.
The citizens movement looking toward
the disincorporation of large portion
of Pomona should the bonds have car
ried, however. not to take any chances
In the matter, instructed F. D. Joy, the
attorney representing their cause. to
Keep a close watch upon every move
made by the opposition and to keep well
posted on all matters pertaining to the
welfare of the seceders cause
Mr.. Joy was present at the special ses-
sion Of the city council on Wednesday
evening, and. while he would have been
willing to have the secession movement
indefinitely laid upon the table by the
city council could he have had assurance
that the resolution prayed for by p. c.
Tonner, esq.,, releasing Messfs. Beckett &
Fleming from any further obligation to
the city of Pomona, and could he have
known that the resolution annuling the
water bond issue would be passed by the
trustees, he could do nothing more under
the existing circumstances than to ask
that the petition presented to the board
by the seceders be merely laid over to
another time, when 1t can. if it becomes
necessary, be taken up again. Mr.. Joy
stated that he had hoped to have seen
the water bond question definitely deter
mined upon by the council upon that
GSening and would have liked to have
seen the secession movement and the
water bond question laid at rest in q
common grave. Nothing would have
pleased him and the parties in interest
that he represented more than to have
seen this done. Attorney Bell made re-
ply to Mr.. joys smile by presenting one
of the same purport, the only difference
between the two being that Mr.. Bell
would have been willing to have seen the
two causes, which have become so close
ly identified one with another that 1t had
been conceded that they should have
been buried in one grave, burned in the
interest of harmony and peace, that they
might never be resurrected again.
The bid of the Pomona City Water
Works to furnish water for the purpose
of sprinkling the streets was not ac-
cepted by the council, as some misappre-
hension existed among the members re-,
garding the number of hours that water
would be supplied under the terms ex-
pressed in their contract. The matter
will be one easily remedied, however, as
the wording only Is in the wrong, their
intent being more or less readily OBJ
served. Councilman Landon laughingly
asked when it was that the water bond
and secession movements had become
welded.
