OWENS RIVER WATER NEEDED


Los Angeles is threatened with a
scarcity Of water. The city reservoir
waters arc falling. and it has been
necessary to shut off water from resi-
dents Of the San Fernando valley, the
largest source of the city's supply.
Plans for a great increase in sprinkling
the dusty streets in the outskirts have
not only been rescinded, br' even the
limited work of that sort now doing has
been necessarily curtaied.
There is nothing particularly alarm
ing In all this. There is no danger
whatever that Los Angeles will go with
out water for all domestic and fire pur-
poses. That is not the point. But these
necessary ones which a city finds for
its water and while paramount. are
supplemented by others almost as i'm
portant. People can live in city with
out sprinkled streets, watered lawns or
growing flowers and trees; it is phys
ically possible. But it is neither pleasing
uor advantageous, especially in a city
whose greatest charm is its out-of-
doors.
Hence, the present situation is more
exasperatlng and disagreeable than
dangerous, But it does emphasize what
The Herald has so often reiterated
that there is need right now--today-
for the tremendous volume of water the
city owns in the Owens lake region. and
that that supply cannot be brought here
too soon.
The fact is that Los Angeles is grow
ing so rapidly. spreading out SO fast
rate that with all the speed and energy
at her command, she Is bound 20 be in
convenienced for water before the
Owens river conduit can be completed
anyhow; the only problem is how little
shall she suffer? How much can the
work be expedited?
When the new source of supply was
obtained it was figured that Los An
geles would have 25O,OOO inhabitants in
1910; it has more than that number
now. When it was first mentioned. five
years were the estimate for a conduit;
one year is already passed At that
time, it vas believed that the city
would need the water in ten years; we
need it right now.
Seemingly there is only one PROPOSE
tion to be considered now: How soon
can, we get the Owens river water to
the city limits? We coul- use it to-
day If we had it. how long-what is the
brefest possible time-that we must
shift along without it?
The duty of the authorities is plain:
Get the water here, and get it right |
away. No yelps of corporation- owned |
sheets, no howls of yellow shriekers
should be considered for a moment. |
One class represent only its owners, |
whose fatted pocketbooks ire threat
cned; the other represents only an alien
who is playing for ACKNOWLEDGMENT |
and the enhancement of other cities
where he owns land as against this one, |
where he owns nothing.
The people, the public, and the real
press of Los Angeles. the Taxpayers and |
the land owners are eager to have this |
great water supply, now, at once. They |
will stand squarely behind the officials |
who viii! bring it here with the least |
possible delay
