Owens lake has caused considerable
discussion locally from the fact that
there are advocates Of a plan for Pasa-
dena to share in the new source of
water supply, Notwithstanding the fact
that the people some time ago voted
nearly one million dollars for the pur-
pose Of acquiring municipal plants. The
strong advocates of the municipal idea
are against the Los Angeles proposition,
and for fear that some effort will be
made to block progress in the acquisi-
tion of municipal plants a mass meet
ing is talked Of for the purpose of lend
ing further support to the public owner
ship plan. Mayor Waterhouse came
out today with denial in answer to
reports that he favors an understand
ing with Los Angeles officials regarding
the use Of the Owens lake water for
Pasadena. 1t is claimed that the Los
Angeles promoters intend to ask Pasa-
dena to stand a portion of the cost of
building the conduit, this city to re-
ceive in return a share of the water.
Pasadena people who favor municipal
ownership will oppose such a proposi-
tion.
The commission appointed some time
ago to investigate and report on a sys-
tenn for handling storm waters win
recommend to the council that four out
let's be provided. as follows: Arroyo

Raymond hill, the McCullaugh wash
on East Colorado street and Eaton's
canyon north of Lamanda. The plans
further provide for laterals to drain
into the outlets named, the laterals to
be constructed from time to time as
they are deemed necessary. 1t is pro-
posed that the preliminary work for
this year shall cost not to exceed
mills on the present tax levy.
The officers of the Humane society
were enriched during the month Of July

Secretary d. w. Coolidge of the board
of trade arrived home today from the
north. During a month at Portland ex-
position he put in some excellent work
advertising Pasadena as place of resi-
dence. He predicts an unusual influx

Notwithstanding the protests of a
number of property owners on the east
side of North Fair oaks avenue it is
said that the city council will stand by
the established grade of former En-
gineer Allin, principally because the
protest was made too late. AS the con-
tract has been let and the work under
way the council is of the opinion that
to change the grade at this time is out
of the question.
