establishment of a pumping plant and
against the contract with the water
company. Recently he had a sample of
the water from the Otay reservoir sent
to e. w. TIilgard and the professor sert
back word that it was not fit for do
nestle use. AS hundreds of citizens

here and collect his own samples AMI
