REALTY BOARD URGES
ALL CITIZENS TO VOTE
FOR WATER BOND ISSUE

The Los Angeles Realty board at its
meeting yesterday emphatically in
dorsed the Owens river project and
urged all citizens to vote in favor of
the bond issue at the coming election.
The following resolutions presented by
G. M Giffen were unanimously
adopted:
THAT the Los Angeles Realty board
emphatically indorses the proposition
to purchase water rights on the Owens
river and to convey the water from the
Owens river to the city of Los An
geles; and that this board urges upon
all citizens of Los Angeles the i'm
portance of voting at the forthcoming
special election for the preliminary
bond issue proposed by the city, for
the following reasons:
"That this board has absolute con-
fldence in the integrity, ability and
judgment of the members of the water
commission of Los Angeles and in the
integrity, ability and Judgment Of the
men employed by them to investigate
and report upon the technical features
of the proposition;
"That an increase at the earliest pos
sible date in the water supply of Los
Angeles is, in our judgment, imper-
ative:
"That in the opinion of this board,
the investigation of the owens river
proposition by the water commission
has been thorough and painstaking;
that no body of men could be found
upon whose judgment in this mater
more dependence could justifiably be
placed than upon that of the water
commission and it's technical advisers;
"That this board and its members
individually are most vitality concerned
in the welfare and progress of the city
of Los Angeles, it's members being, gen.
orally, considerable taxpayers and rep
resenting heavy financial interests; by
the nature of their business they are
as closely in touch with public affairs,
public officials and municipal needs as
any body of citizens in Los Angeles
and are therefore particularly i'm
pressed with the necessity for and adj
visibility of the proposed development,
without delay, of the water supply of
this city"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-03

giving estimates for the unit cost OF the
different kinds of work and material
used in the construction of the conduit,
the tunnels and the syphons. We SUBJ
mitted these estimates to practical con-
tractors, engineers and men having ex-
pert knowledge, and we feel confident
that the cost of bringing the water here
has been most carefully estimated and
placed at an outside figure by the sup
erintendent of the water commission,
In his estimate of 21,5OO.0O0.
Legal Features
"An undertaking of this magnitude
cannot be carried to completion with
out legal complications, but your COM
mittee believes that the citys interests
are being carefully safeguarded by It's
law department and that no insuper-
able legal obstacles will be encoun-
tered. although some litigation by way
Of condemnation proceedings and other
wise may be expected.
There being a popular impression
that the bringing in of a new water
supply would adversely affect this
city's present water rights, an opinion
was obtained from attorneys who for
water litigation. Their opinion left no
room for fear that the city's interest
would suffer on that score.
"Your committee addressed a COM
munication to the water board regard
ing the expenditure of bond funds.
From the reply it will be seen that the
city's authorities will expend no greater
part Of the proceeds of this bond issue
than is absolutely necessary, until their
plans will have been completed in de-
tail and approved by the very highest
engineering authorities. Further ex-
penses will be met by bond issues from
time to time as required.
Plenty Of Water
your committee unhesitatingly ex-
presses It's conviction that the acquisi-
ton of the property and rights now
contracted for by this city in Owens
valley will make 1t possible for the
municipality to supply itself with as
much and as good water as 1t will at
any time require; and that this project
can be carried out at an expenditure of
money which may even be termed small
in proportion to benefit derived and
in comparison with similar expendi-
lures in other communities which are
more fortunately situated by nature;
and your committee expresses unquali-
fled approval of the conduct of the city
authorities in their handling of this
matter, which is the most important
that has ever been transacted for this
community"
The report is signed by H. c. Wilmer,
]. o. Koepfli, Stoddard Jess, NJ. Lissner,
Arthur Let's and Joseph H. Call.
The report was adopted by the execu-
tive committee Of the Municipal league
yesterday.

OWENS RIVER is MOST
RELIABLE STREAM FOR
CONSERVATION OF WATER

Fred Eaton, who returned Friday
morning from ten days business trir
to the Owens valley, says the Owens
river is demonstrating by its flow that
1t Is one of the most reliable streams
for the conservation of water within
the state s-t
"Old residents aver that with the ex-
ception of one year the present season
is the dryest which that district has
undergone in the past thirty-five years,
said Mr.. Eaton yesterday.
"There has been no rain in the noun
tains this summer. The pasturage is
being burned up and the cattle must OF
necessity be moved farther back into
the ranges. I am contemplating this.
"Of the three largest streams of the
district, the owens, Walker and Carson
rivers, the last two are now dry from
the point of their discharge for a dis
tance of forty or fifty miles toward
their source, the water being used for
irrigation purposes.
"The Owens river is the only one Of
the three to supply all the needs Of ir-
rigation along its banks and yet show
an ample flow of nearly 1000 inches into
the lake. In the entire Sierra Nevada
watershed 1 believe this stream to be
the most reliable for the conservation
of steady water supply, without re-
gard to season."

WATER BOARD PLANS
TO SAFEGUARD FUNDS
DERIVED BY BOND SALE

Replying to request of the joint
committee of the three great civic or
ganizations that the water board make
known its plans for safeguarding the
expenditure of money derived from the
sale of bonds, the board replies as fol-
lows:
'It is the intention of the board that
independent experts of the highest pro-
fessional standing shall be employed
at once to make critical examination
into and report upon the whole project
of bringing a supply of water from the
Owens river valley to this city.
"And until report of this character
is received, favorable to such project,
it will be the policy of the water board
that no greater part of the money de-
rived from the sale Of the bonds shall
be expended than shall be necessary to
preserve and protect the interests Of
the city"
The letter is signed by John ]. Fay,
jr., president of the water commission.
