THEY KEEP PILING UP
DO THE PROTESTS AGAINST THE
MERRILL CONCESSION
"A HOT KICK is THE ONE
Of Taxpayers in the Southeastern Part
of Town Who Get Water Only for
Their Money-City Hall

A numerously signed petition from users
of the water of zanja No. was filed yester-
day with the city clerk 1t earnestly pro-
tests against granting ]. c. Merrill the
right to develop waste water above the
Macy-street bridge from the river bottom.
The petitioners allege that the flow of their
zanja, which serves the entire southeastern
portion of the city, is inadequate now, and
that this fact can easily be verified in the
zaniero's office.
Water in zanja No. is a scarce commod-
ity, they say, and for the last two or three
years during the summer months the flow
ceases entirely. In addition, the protest
ants say that. although they pay city
taxes. the right to use irrigating water is
the only privilege they enjoy in return
and they do not want to lose that, in order
to further Merrilps scheme.

petition with the city clerk, asking the
council to abandon the proceedings for re-

pense of abutting property owners, and is
rendered necessary again on account of a
change of grade of First street, made for
the benefit of the whole city, and for that
reason the petitioners believe that the work
