RULE AGAINST TWO
WATER SOURCES.
Supervisors Decline to
Refer Offers to Engi-
neers for Examination

The special committee on water sup
plies Of the Board OF Supervisors yes
terday filed a report recommending
that the offers to furnish San Fran
cisco with a water supply from the
Stanislaus River and Snow Mountain
and Eel River be rejected. The two
propositions were submitted by their
promoters after the board Of engineers
consisting of Lieutenant Mch1nstry,
Professor Marx and A. NJ. Hunt had
been appointed to investigate FIVE
other offers.
The report states that the reasons
for not referring the Stanislaus project
for further investigation by the engi-
neers are that the proposition does not
give the city the absolute ownership
of the water supply. but only it's use
with the reservation of power deveI-
opment to the proponents, and because
former City Engineer Grunsky de-
clared against the supply on the
double score of low rainfall and lack
OF sufficient storage facilities The
Snow Mountain supply was rejected
because Ii would be impossible to de-
velop therefrom zoo 900. .O00 gallons OF
water day without using the water
of the Russian River. and because the
pipe line running across the bay from
Marin County would be experiment.
untried. risky, dangerous and perhaps
impossible.
The committee also filed report
containing instructions to engineers
who will examine into the five sources
previously offered to the board. They
are supplies from the north fork OF
the American River. the middle fork OF
the American River, the south fork OF
the American River and the north fork
of the Gosumnes River. the Mokelumne
River and the combined north and
middle forks Of the American River.

features Of the Lake Tahoe Nc Kinstry
