to ascertain the standing of an alder

to ascertain the standing of an alder
man on any one particular issue.
The Journal also says that it is
quite probable that the amendment
of the law to cover this point will be
one of the issues of the coming legis-
lative session-an injection of the
saloon and option question into the
session quite unexpectedly to both
the friends and foes of the saloon.
There is no doubt but what the
proposition will create one of the
most interesting fights during the
coming session, because, as stated
in the news columns of our paper
last week, the senators and repre-
sentatives from the larger cities do
not propose to have local option
law applying to their towns, they
believing that the city council alone
should be the Judge of the liquor
traffic, and as a result, they veil all
vote against theamendment. Again,
if an attempt is made to apply the
amendment to a law embracing cities
with certain population it is likely
to find almost as many enemies,
who are likely to contend that it is
special legislation.
All in all, it is going to be a lively
fight and the legislators will see
some fun before the question is dis
posed of.
1t is remarkable thing that the
proposition was never brought up
before. While not recognizing the
point jndicially, it appears from
his decision in the Redwood Falls
case that Judge Weber has been
on to the defect for a long time, and
was waiting for an opportunity to
make his knowledge public. The
people who have thought about it
did not seem to care about raising
the point, and as a result no effec-
tive local option law is now or ever
has been in force for the smaller in
corporated cities.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
OF ITS WATER SYSTEM
REAL ESTATE OWNERS CONFER
WITH MAYOR PHELAN.
Fully 100000 Would Be Saved the
City Annually by Constructing
It's Own Plant.

A number of members of the Real Es-
tate Owners Association held a confer
ence with Mayor Phelan yesterday to dis
cuss municipal ownership Of water works
They were in session for some time and
the matter was thoroughly gone over.
The Mayor called attention to chapter
121 of the new charter which bears di-
rectly upon the matter by providing that
within one year after the charter goes
until the object is accomplished the City
Engineer must submit plans and esti-
mates for a system of water supply.
There were two propositions under dis
cussion-the acquisition Of the existing
water supply and original construction.
Mr. Harris one of the members of the
associa ton. was the principal speaker,
and he strongly opposed the acquisition
Of the existing work, which he termed d
patchwork system, with no stable supply
Of pure water.
Mayor Phelan stated that If the city
spent $50, 900 600 for a water system it
could sell its bonds at 3l2 per cent, which
would amount to 100000 annually for in
terest. Based on the Spring Valley Com
pany's own figures on what II cost to op-
crate that plant last year, which are eN-
cessive. the cost of maintenance would be
100000 making a total expenditure of
81 10000 per annum. 1t now costs the
city for water 81 $50 900 a year, which
would mean a clear saving of $SO00OO TO
the city. The Mayor said that $40 900 900
would bring water from Lake Tahoe or
the North Fork Of the American River
and distribute il. Engineer Smith esti-
mated the cost at S13, 900 600 while Colonel
Mendell had said ii would Sost nearer
$lho0,0QO. so the Mayor had allowed an
even $2O 1000 600 for the work in his figures.
The conference adjourned after the mem
bers had promised to agitate the subject
among lhelf friends throughout the city.
