DATA ON WATER
GIVEN TO BOARD
Many Are Anxious to
Sell Plants to the
City.

Aside from setting forth in general
the propositions they have to offer San
francisco in the way of a water supply
at the meeting of the special committee

dividuals who have either rights or es-
tablished systems they wish TO sell ac-
eomplished nothing. Where the propo-
sitions have already been set forth in
previous communications to the board
there was little to be gained.
1t was expected that in certain cases,
neither price nor source of supply has
been given, the information would be
forthcoming, but haze of secrecy still
surrounds such plans and the commit
tee Will be handicapped in the matter.
Newhouse, for instance, stated that his
principals were negotiating in regard
to the establishment of electrical
plants, hence his inability TO be more
definite. Representatives of the Lake
Tahoe and San Francisco Water Works
Company and the Schofield Construc-
ton Company failed to put in an ap-
pearance.
The charter requires that the COM
mittee shall make a list of all avail
able sources and that bids then be re-
quested. AS things now stand in
number of instances there is absolutely
no information regarding source and it
