allow the project to remain in the
hands Of the board. They, point with
pride to the previous record made by
the board and declare there is every
reason to believe that this record will
continue ''''.''--'.' '.'.'-'.''- -.-t .-..'
While the expenditure of the bond
money viii be 'nominally in the hands
of the council. the water commission
will be given almost unlimited author
ity in handling the funds. Theodore
Summerland, president of the council,
has practically assured the board that
there will be slight interference with its
plans, although the council will have
to sign all contracts. The members of
the council understand that the com.
mission is thoroughly familiar with
the needs of the city and has implicit
faith in its Judgment and integrity.
Every member of the board is hoping
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-17

that the new board of public works
will be composed of men who will work
in perfect harmony with the commits
sion and tacitly leave the greater part
of the work of developing the Owens
river project in the hands of the water
board If it Is not done by legislation.
The members have been much exer-
cised over the recent discovery that
the law gives such propositions as these
into the hands of a board of public
works. 1t was only recently that such
clause was discovered in the state
law and there is nothing in the charter
of the city that makes it compulsory.
Superintendent Mulholland has gone
carefully over the charter and can
find nothing in 1t that recognizes the
necessity for a board of public works,
such as the mayor will appoint at the
beginning OF the year.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-17

want, but a question of law, as the
problem now stands, but have no
doubt that there will be some legisla-
tion in the near future that will leave
the matter in the hands of the COM
mission rather than the board of pub
lie works.
1--WE will have practically free hand
for time, at least, for I understand
that the members of the council are
anxious that we handle the proposition,
as we are more familiar with it than
any one else. While the council will
sign all contracts, the expenditure of
the money will be practically in the
hands of the commission"
John ]. Fay, jr., president of the
board of water works commissioners:
II think it would be a good plan to
leave the water project in the hands
of the commission, even if 1t is neces-
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-17

ut would be extremely humiliating
for this project to be taken out of the
hands of the commission altogether,
especially as it has shown conclusively
that it is competent to handle it by
past records.
ut is state law that propositions
of this nature must be controlled by a
board of public works and there is
nothing in the citys charter to this
effect. This clause was discovered but
a short time ago and it came as thun-
derbolt to the commission. am decid-
edly Of the opinion that the commission
should handle the project without let
or hindrance, even If it is necessary
to have legislation to this effect"
]. M. Elliott, president of the First
National bank and member of the
water commission, said:
at is not question OF what we
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-17

sary to legislate on the question. We
understand the proposition thoroughly
and there is every reason to believe that
the board will continue its good records
of the past.
IF such thing cannot be done, we
are In hopes that the new board of
public works will be one that will work
In sympathy with the commission and
for the most good to the greatest num-
ber."
Mayor McAleer is not inclined to dis
cuss the subject from either standpoint.
L have gone carefully over the ques-
ton with the members of the city coun-
ell and the members of the water board
and have it under advisement. am
not prepared to say just yet which is
the proper method to adopt, but 1 will
say that we will do what seems best
for the community"

In speaking about the question yes

In speaking about the question yes
terday Mr., Mulholland said:
II am very glad that The Herald
has taken the initiative in this question
and sincerely hope that the other pa
pers will follow in it's lead. BY constant
newspaper agitation Of the subject a
popular sentiment may be created that
will practically compel the new board
of public works to leave the owens
river project in the hands of the COM
mission, whether or not 1t chooses to
do so,
II do not say that the new board will
not be in perfect harmony with the
commission, for I do not know the
personnel of the board, and do not
think that any one else does as yet.
But it is better to be on the safe side
and the newspapers can help the COM
mission in this respect very much.
