REPORTS CONFLICT.
Two Views as to the Quality of
Water From Public Well.

The reports of the District chemist and
the District inspector of cements and as
phalts, the latter also a chemist, regard
ing the condition Of the water in a public
well on L street between 18th and 18th
streets southeast, are so conflicting that
controversy over the matter is antici-
pated.
j. 0. Hargrove, inspector of asphalts and
cements, made an analysis of water taken
from the well October % last, and reported
that the water was polluted with sewerage
or surface water. and recommended that
the well be closed, as its existence was dan
gerous to public health. r. L. Lynch, Dis
trict chemist, analysed water from the
same well a week later, and in his report
stated there was nothing in the water to
show the presence Of any injurious con-
and that there was no reason
for abandoning the well.
w. A. Mcfarland, whose duty it is, as
superintendent of the water department,
to see that the wells and pumps are closed
to public use when reported to be Injurious
to health, received these two reports. He
was in quandary and immediately asked
for Instructions. The matter is now in the
hands of Col. Biddle, the Engineer Com
sioner, to decide.
Col. Biddle said this morning that a sam
pie of the water will be taken again. and
the inspector Of asphalts and cements and
the District chemist will each analyZe part
of it. He is under the impression that the
former analysis made by these officials may
have differed on account of the weeks diff
ference in the time of the analysis.
That part of the analysis made by the
two officials which did not correspond was
regarding the nitrites in the water. Mr..
Hargrove said he found trace of this COM
pound in the water he examined, and it was
upon this that he based his report, where
as Mr.. Lynch said he found no trace of it
whatever. The second analysis will be
made sometime this week, and in the mean
time the well in question will be temper
arily closed, awaiting the outcome.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 16.-The
action of the board of supervisors in
executive session in demanding the
resignation of Horticultural Commits
sioner George r. Holbrook of Ontario
is stirring up a lively political row.
Holbrook has written Chairman Reid
of the board letter, but it is said not
to be resignation. The result will
probably be that the supervisors at the
meeting Monday will declare Hol-
brooks position vacant and elect his
successor. The row is resulting in
stirring up politics in the west end of
the county and bringing TO the fore
once more all the old-time enmity be-
tween the towns of Ontario and Up
lands. 1t is also said that Holbrook's
friends are considering entering him in
the supervisorial race for next year
against Supervisor Pine of Chino. Hol-
brooks friends are accusing the super
Visors of doing politics in attempting
to fire him. They also insist that the
cause of county division has also been
given added impetus by the deal.
President A. c. Denman of the Trac-
ton company has announced that work
on the construction of the Redlands
cutoff will probably be commenced the
coming week. The first dirt will be
turned on Third street in this city and
the new line pushed out toward the
point where 1t is to connect with the
