Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-16

badly needed and we have payments
coming due.
II have been associated with Mr..
ing that time he has built many
things, but can truthfully say that
he does the work and keeps inside his
estimate II the citizens vote these
bonds and the water is brought to Los
Angeles this city will become one Of the
richest and greatest municipal corpora
tions in the world"
LOS Angeles should feel proud Of its
water commission" declared City At
torney w. b. Mathews, when he arose
to speak. "They realized the magni-
tude of the proposition which they had
to face, but they have faced it and
solved the problem, for 1 believe they
have found the only available source
Of water supply for the city.
"These schemes to Increase the sup
ply of the city by $500 inches, like two
or three that have been offered, will
do no good for they would cost mil
lions of dollars and yet the city would
gain nothing, for 1t now has supply
of $500 inches and the title to this sup
ply is such that II $500 inches we're
brought from elsewhere the city would
be forced to give UP the $500 1t now
has. So that instead of doubling the
present supply these schemes, IL carried
out, would only result in the expendi-
ture of money without giving any
benefit.
aside from this no place in Califor-
MIA would suffer less from the diversion
of the water by the city than the
owens valley I am sure that the YER
dict of the people will be that the
work of the water board has been well
done and that the citizens will feel
proud of their water commission and
council"
Mayor McAleer. President of the
Council Summerland and Councilman
Smith also made short talks indorsing
the project most heartily. The chair
man then gave those desiring to ask
questions an opportunity and a few
were put, but the majority of those
present declared themselves satisfied
with the opinion of the water board on
the question.
