QUESTION AT PASADENA

dred Inches Of Water and Gives
an option-Brevities

PASADENA, Nov. 3.-(Offce of The
Herald, l6 West Colorado street. Tele-
phone Red 675.) Articles of incorporation
of the San Pasqual Land and Water COM
pany were filed with the county clerk this
afternoon. This ia the new company. COM
posed of some of the leading citizens OF
Pasadena, organized to supply such an
amount Of water to this city as will forever
dispel the terrors of dry season and give
to the town an abundant supply of the
ruresS and best water for all purposes.
The capital stock of the new company is
$500,00 divided into shares of 500 each; ;
principal place of business, Pasadena; dura-
ton, fifty years. The directors are: P. M.
Green, president First National bank;
ex-Gov. H. H. Markham, Mayor George
d. Patten, A. r. Dodworth, capitalist; /;
Frank S. Daggett, capitalist. The new COM
pany has given the two local water compa-
mics an option ON 400 inches Of water, the
option to last for ten years unless sooner
taken. advantage of by the local compa-
MES, said option to be transferred to the
city in case the city buys out the local COM
panies, or in any manner assumes control.
This clause allowing the city, in case mu-
nicipal ownership becomes a fact, to ac-
quire the ownership of 400 inches of water
at such price as the local companies con-
slider they can afford to pay for their own
use, is thought to afford plan upon which
all citizens can unite. Hence, the contro-
versy over the water question will probably
be closed and with 400 inches added to the
already large supply Pasadena will be
blessed with great abundance of the pur-
est water and at very reasonable price.
The projectors OF the new enterprise state
that they are not opposed to municipal
ownership, but, on the contrary, they think
this move will only facilitate matters in
tha a.fxy Hacir 10 At,tf ha aoa1
companies, as the option for the purchase Of
the 400 inches of water is purposely fixed so
that the city can acquire the water at the
same figure as agreed upon with the local
water companies. 1t is confidently stated
that the whole amount of the capital stock
will soon be subscribed, $4,000 worth be-
ing as good as placed already.
