Parker and Messrs. c. c. Brown, John
Allin, James Clarke and T.. H. Royce,
and the directors of the Pasadena Land
and Water company, G. w. Wilson-and
s. Washburn, visited the development
works of the two companies at the De-
wills Gate this morning. The tunnel con-
tract has expired and the inspection was
for the purpose of deciding whether to
continue the work or not. 1t was de-
termined to do so and the contractors
resumed the work this afternoon under
the two companies. The present tunnel
runs over 900 feet back and good stream
of water flows from it. 1t is not yet suf-
ficient, however, to supply the demands
of residents of the city, and it is the
intention of the directors to extend it
about 1900 feet further. When this is
done 1t Is hoped that there will be an
end of the present stint in the supply of
water.
