We are all anx- ious about an extension of the irri- gated area in this State. but come down to the fact and the greatest need Is for a thrifty population to settle upon the irrigated lands we have When population in California begins seriously to press against the produc- tive capacity of the State under intelli- gent irrigation and cultivation then will there be a great revival of irriga- tion development and possibly not un- ~ then.
 The difference. between the San Joa- orin Valley and the Imperial country Is that whereas in the San Joaquin Valley the people do not take the land as fast as it Is placed under water. in the Imperial Settlements the land is taken more rapidly than the canals can ic built while these same canals are heing constructed at the rate of one hundred and fifty miles per annum. Why Is this thus?

nalSlno Water Rates.

The City Of San Diego recently purchased the property of the San Diego Plume Company. after fixing rates for that company for several years. An attempt was then made by the City Council to raise those rates l,causc they were too low The fol- lowing report of proceedings of the io,nt water committee Is given by the Tribune.
 The joint water committee of the City Council met this afternoon. Those present were Aldermen Watson. lan- dls Rainbow. Delegates Lambert. and Lewis \ motion by Delegate Lambert that the lrrIgators be heard this after loon. after which an adjournment be taken until tomorrow night nt 1.3O was carried.
 The report oi Superintendent Aver son was next read. He strongly urged that meters be used instead of Hat rates as this seems to be the only way Go avoid waste of water.
 The section which advised an in- crease In the rates for irrigation pur- rCses was first considered. Mir Barnes first addressed the committeeman. He said that it was difficult to make a living at the present rates. Many or- chardists are simply irrlgating to keep their trees alive. IL Is impossible 10 make money and pay such a price for water.
 Sherln Jennings followed. He said the ranchers inside the city limits were paying for police protection. for eectrict lights and other things they never got. All they wanted was cheap water.
 'If it Is necessary" he said. to raise rates. would suggest that you call together those men from whom 'he water system was purchased and tell them that We have been robbing them for years: that We have been forcing them to sell water too low and then give them back their system if they Nill take IL.
 "Tf money must be raised let ns raise IL in some other way. but do rot confess that We have made failure of trying to run our own water rlant"
 Others followed along the same lines.
 They seemed to consider IL unrea- gonable that the price of water should be raised. All had considered that the question was settled finally when the city bought the plant
 If was also stated that if the rates are raised there are hundreds of peo- rlc who will dig up their trees and use them for fuel.
