COUNCIL MEETS

OWENS AoUEDUCT RIGHT OF
WAY is RECOGNIZED
Decision to Hold Special Session Is
Reached Late, and Telephones

The city council will meet in special
session this morning at 10 o'clock to
approve rights of way and maps for

This action follows closely on that
Of congress-, which granted a right of
way through the forest reserve, thus
enabling the aqueduct to have an ad-
vantageous direct line between the

possible to meet the situation in ex-
pediting preliminaries.

Strengthening out measurements, per-
fecting routes and assisting the other

Gil authorized the city's legal depart
ment to bring suits to quiet title
