Now, with this showing of statistical data before them, is it to be wondered that the people of the city of Los An geles decline to pay $3,OO0,000 for the plant of the City Water Company?
 Be it understood that the taxpayers and citizens generally are ready and will gladly give to the water company fair and equitable price for their property.
 But it Is apparent that they do not intend to be bled. Nor will they be led like lambs to the slaughter.
 The public servants who betray them and who accept bounties in order that they may advance, as private individ- uals as against the municipal welfare, will be gibbeted by public opinion.
 The fact that the syndicated local press fails absolutely in its duty and neglects to criticise the weak, vacil- lating and inefficient councilmen who are delaying the settlement and adjust ment of this vital question will not save them from popular contempt.
 They will be marked men in the fu- ture, and wherever they go they will be known for the treachery of which they have not as yet been found guilty, but which has been alleged against them, and for which they are now on trial. | They can yet clear themselves of the taint which rests upon them, and in a very easy and simple way.

 The manner in which negotiations have thus far been carried on with the water company has plainly indi- cated to the people the purpose of those l Councilmen, who have clearly shown that they were laboring assiduously to complicate an already complicated | question.
 There remains but little over five short months when the contract ex- pires. The battle that is to be waged from now on is one of vital importance ana upon the outcome the future o1 the city depends to a large extent
 The time has again come for citizens to take their coats off and enter the lists in their own behalf. From the local press neither aid nor correct in. formation can be expected. The in fluence of the corporation is great, an( its supporters are thoroughly fortified behind strong bulwarks. The people can win if they unite and work to gether. Will they do so?

 The distribution system as a whole seems to be designed irrespective of engineering rules and without the view of obtaining the best results by the aid of approved appliances. It is an assemblage of various pipe systems originally laid down with economic propensities and without reference to ultimate extension.

The sum of 1,190,6 655 was offered by the city to the water works company for the acquisition of the plant.
 The present owners derive a yearly income of over S440, ,000. and the maxi mum yearly expense account for main- tenance does not exceed S100, 900. The company probably rates the value of their plant upon a revenue basis, while the city of Los Angeles rates the value of the plant upon the specific contract clause which prescribes a valuation on improvements made by this company upon the mother plant owned by the city originally, and turned over to the company at the beginning of their thir- ty years franchise. Hence the differ ence in valuation. Respectfully,

The discovery that the bark

In recent years, no other medi-
cine has received such a marvellous
reception as has Paine's Celery
Compound.
It must be a wonderful remedy.
Well known people bigh in official
circles and in all walks of life tes-

have added another valuable medi-

the confidence of the public, and
its marvellous results, when once
given a trial by those upon whom
the hand of physical af1iction has
been laid, cause them, indeed, to
look upon it as a Godsend rather
than discovery.
