LAKE MERGED
Schussler Explains Supplies
and Resources Claimed by
the Spring Valley Company
PIPE LINE DANGEROUS
Pumping to High Elevations
Is Preferable in View
of Improved Machinery

The description Of the properties of
the Spring Valley Water Works was
continued yesterday before Commits
sioner Heacock by Engineer Schussler,
testifying for the corporation in its suit
against the city to have set aside the
water rate arbitrarily fixed by the Su-
pervisCrs.
The greater portion of the day was
occupied in an exhaustive description
of Lake Merced, the quantity and
quality of the water il contains and
the territory from which it draws its
supply. A comparison was also made
Of the relative expense of bringing
water into the city through pipe lines
by gravity pressure alone and raising
it to certain levels bv artificial means.
Engineer Schussler said that while
some years ago the gravity system was
the most economical the invention Of
improved pumping machinery has so
completely altered conditions that a
short-line service with powerful pumps
is far safer and more economical. A
long pipe line is not only expensive to
construct but is also subject TO breaks
which not only cause a waste Of water,
but cut off the supply. In case of
cCnflagration such an accident would
be disastrous.
He then gave a detailed description
of Lake Merced and it's surroundings,
saying that the company has from
time to time been buying in surround
ing ranches in order to preserve the
water from pollution. Further than
this certain tributary streams had
been diverted and are emptying into
the ocean. as it was feared they would
carry filth into the lake. AT present
the lake is kept but half full, as ex-
perience has shown that it contains a
number Of springs and when the water
is at a low level it is freer from i'm
purities than when the lake is full.
As an emergency supply, Engineer
Schussler is of the opinion that there
is none better than this great lake, sit
uated within the city limits and within
five or six miles of the center of popu
lation. When the plans now under
way are completed the storage capa
city of Lake Merced viii have been so
increased as 10 furnish a seventy-da
supply of water to the city in case all
other sources should fail. It's stOr-
age facilities. in fact" he said, are as
great as those of a flowing we'll"
In support of this Schussler quoted
extracts from a report made to the
Supervisors by former City Engineer
Grunsky in 1902 in which he said:
Lake Merced is more favorably To-
Gated than Lobos Greek. 1t can safely
be used to safeguard the supply from
other sources. The best supplies
near at hand are Crystal Springs and
Lake Merced, the latter only for emer-
gency uses
The project of utilizing the coast
streams on the peninsula, the witness
said, is only feasible by developing
the Crystal Springs property, which.
with the Alameda Creek system, will
furnish a supply of 140, 100000 gallons
a day or 100000 900 more than is esti-
mated the city will need fifty years
hence.

BABY MEXICAN TIGER
is YOUNG ROACH'S PET
Son of Famous ShipbuiIder Captures
Animal in the Wilds of South
ern Republic.

Among the guests at the Palace is
shipbuilder, John 3. Roach, of Chez
ter, Pa. The young man and Ar
turo del Toro of Chapala, Mexico, ar
rived here Sunday from the southern
republic, where, near the city of Aca-
pulco, a New York company in which
they are interested and of which Del
Toro is the president is preparing to
develop a million acres of land, which
is said to be admirably adapted for
the growing of cotton.
The presence of the two men at the
Palace Hotel yesterday attracted the
attention of many owing to the fact
by a baby Mexican tiger, which he
captured near ChapaIa and of which
he is trying to make pet.
The company which he and Del
Toro represent is backed wholly by
American capital and will be the first
to undertake on a large scale the
growing Of cotton in Mexico. Upon
this subject Del Toro said yesterday:
Mexico is now importing cotton to the extent
of between five and six millions of dollars an
nually Naturally an enterprise such "a
the our company is inaugurating is re-
ceiving every possible encouragement from
the Mexican Government from which we he e
months inspection We found tract OF land
back Of the city Of Acapulco which experts
the West as a field for cotton growing As
Yet project has simply reached the end OF
the preliminary stage. where we have acquired
our land and necessary capital for establishing
q promising industry In that republic.
Del Toro has lived in Mexico for a
number of years and owns one of the
most luxurious homes on the lake side
of Chapala.
