The Water Question

The engineers about finished up the
maps of the Water companys system
last evening. The finishing touches will
be put on today and they will be ready
to turn over to the water supply COM
mittee of the council. Whether the COM
mittee will make any report to the coun-
Gil at the time beyond filing the maps,
remains to be seen. City Engineer Dock
weller says that the completion of these
maps about closes up all the work in
connection with the water question that
he has so far been ordered to do. In case
he should be ordered to make an inde-
pendent estimate of the present value
Of the Water company's plant, az sug-
ge9ted by Councilmen Hutchison and
Grder, that would take two weeks ad-
ditional time, and will cost some hum
dreds of dollars. So far as known, moth
ing has been done by the Water COM
pany people and the councilmen pend
ing the preparation of these maps. The
next step in order will be for the Water
company to make a formal proposition
to the council to sell, setting the price.
The council will then proceed to decide
whether it is cheaper and for the bes;
Interests of the city to purchase the ex-
sting plant or build a new one on the
plans prepared by City Engineer Dock
weller,

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Movement to Put 1t on a Full Paid
Basis

AS the time for making the next an
nual tax levy approaches. the advocat tes
of putting the fire department on a full
basis are again agitating the subject.
Almost every member of the city council
mas gone on record as favoring this
move, as have the members Of the pres
ent and previous fire commissions. 1t is
generally conceded that the increased
efficiency of the department on a full
paid basis would offset the compare
lively slight increase in the cost more
than tenfold The difference in the ex-
pense between the present call system
and full paid apartment is. estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum, cer~
talnly not more that $1,000 a month at
the outside, while it's efficiency would be
doubly increased. Another strong ar
gument used in favor of a paid depart
ment is that much better class of men
could be secured and a higher state Of
discipline maintained. 1t is urged that
should the change be made young mer
instead of getting into the department
as callmen, and holding a place until
something better turned up, would &c
into it as a regular business and try t.
work themselves up the same as in other
trades or professions, all of which would
materially improve the service.

Riparian Owners Heard From

The question of using the water of
the Los Angeles river south of the city
limits for irrigating purposes has again
been brought up by petition to tha
city council signed Riparian Owners y
asking for hearing. This matter has
been brought up every spring for sew
eral years past, and has been tested in
the courts. There have been some very
lively fights in the council over this
riparian ownership, and at one time
considerable feeling existed. Under the
leadership of Riparian" Ames the
wordy battles have been conducted, and
when it again comes up there prom
ises to be a lively discussion, at least.
There are several hundred inches OF
water going to waste every day, and
the people down about the Vernon dis
trict think that it should be utilized.
and they should have the privilege of
doing so, so long as the city's rights
are not impaired
