AFFECTS WATER SUPPLY.
Bill Passed by Which City Could Lose
Mountain Source.

SACRAMENTO, March 6.-Duryea
brought up in the Assembly this after
neon Pendletons Senate bill, identical
with his own, relating to eminent do
main and dealing among other things
with water stored in reservoirs or flow
ing in pipes.
Treadwell opposed the bill. saying:
Under this provision the water stored
in reservoirs in one county and used
for supplying water to the inhabitants
of another county could be condemned
and taken for irrigation or other pur-
poses in the county where 1t Is stored
Under such a law the water of the
Spring Valley Water Company stored
in the counties of San Mateo and Ala
media for the inhabitants of San Fran
cisco could be condemned for the pur-
pose of irrigation by the inhabitants
of the counties of San Mateo and Ala
media
THE city and county of San Fran
cisco intends to at some time have its
own water supply, which will require
reservoir sites in some mountain coun-
ty, and representatives of that city
have just returned from Washington
for the purpose Of obtaining the con-
sent of the Government to carry out
such a project; but under this law a
rival company could instigate con-
demnation proceedings of the water
after It was obtained and stored at
great expense by the city, and, ac-
cording to this act, the only damage
they would have to pay to the city
would be the value per one thousand
gallons of water taken. In other words,
the city would lose the entire expense
Of the construction of reservoirs and
pipes. and would simply get the value
of the water.
This bill is followed UP by COM
panion measure known as Senate bill
S72. which provides that any twenty
householders of the county where the
water is stored can compel the Board
of Supervisors of the county where 1t
is stored TO condemn the water. If
these two bills should become law it
would be absolutely impossible for any
city TO ever obtain a water supply from
the mountain counties.
'1t is elementary and always has
been the law of this State that where
property was already applied to one
public use 1t cannot be condemned for
another public use. unless it is public
use of a higher character and one more
necessary to the public. but by this
act water applied to the highest public
use known to the law that is, the
supplying of water for the inhabitants
of cities for human consumption, could
be condemned for irrigation or any
other purposes"
Devlin also spoke against the bill,
which came up on reconsideration after
having been defeated Saturday morn
ing. but it was passed this time by a
vote of AZ to "a and is now up to the
Governor.

resolution Calls for Inquiry Into Car
quinez Situation.
SACRAMENTO, March 6.-The fol-
lowing concurrent resolution relative
to the bridging. of Carquinez Straits
was introduced in the Assembly this
morning by Moore of San Joaquin:
Resolved by the Assembly OF the State OF
California the Senate concurring that a joint
committee of the Senate and Assembly, con-
sisting of four members be appointed. two by
the President of the Senate and two by the
Speaker OF the Assembly. to examine into and
designing and Of the construction by the State
of California of State toll combination sus-
pension bridge across Carquinez Straits at a
point which would be the most convenient to
all traffic, such steam and electric railroad
wagon and foot traffic.
That the said joint committee be and is
hereby authorized and empowered to do any
and all necessary things to make full and
complete Investigation of all matters in con-
nection herewith in order that a full and
complete report may be made. and TO that
end the said committee Is hereby authorized
and empowered to employ all necessary clerical
and expert assistance and also TO call into con-
sultation any and all persons deemed necessary
by said committee to make full and complete
report In accordance with this resolution.
Il have introduced the resolution at
the request of my constituents in the
reclamation districts" said it's author.
They wish to take such steps as will
preclude the construction of a pile
bridge. In such structure the piles
would have to be placed so close that
they would collect the debris and
practically form a dam that would
prevent the free flow of the water and
cause a greater strain on the levees
above"
On motion of Moore the resolution
was adopted and sent to the Senate.
At the afternoon session Stanton
moved for a reconsideration of the
vote by which the resolution had been
adopted, saying that under its pro-
visions an unlimited sum might be
spent by the commission. The recon-
sideration was granted and the reso-
luton made a special order for to-
morrow.
