matter was thoroughly brought out and
the district and bonds sustained and from
which there has been no appeal for over
seven years. The document is a very long

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 7.-(Regular Cores
pondence) The petition presented by the
residents of Chula Vista to the board of
supervisors, asking that the board estab-
lish the irrigation rates to be charged by
the Land and Town company. came up for
consideration this morning. An extensive
array of legal talent representing the var
ious parties in this troublesome dispute
was present, and judging by the opening
prelminaries the contest is to be fought
to finish. The principles in the contest
have much at stake. The petitioners are
the residents at Chula Vista, many of
whom have their all invested in their re-
spective holdings. Heretofore the COM
pany's rate was $3.50 per acre, and the
consumers claim that a rate equal to 81. so
per acre means the practical confiscation
of their property 1t is on this basis of a
rate that the company is making their
fight. The company rests its argument
for an advance in rates upon the state
law which requires the board of supervis
ors to establish rate that must give
return of at least per cent and not more
than IS per cent on the capital invested.
