the city unless sufficient amount is
voted to carry out the project
"3 According to the testimony of ex-
perts and those most interested in the
project, the water of Owens river is of
better quality than that now used by
the city of Los Angeles, and the supply
is abundant for all time to come.
"a. A very small increase in the tax
rate will be sufficient to carry out the
project, and after construction the
revenue to be derived from the sale
of water alone at present rates should
more than cover the charges for sink

to say nothing of the vast amount that
will be derived from the sale of power.

the welfare of the city and it's people,

ton especially appeals to all citizens
of the Ninth ward, as well as to all

are in charge of the enterprise to

CAMPA|GN OPENS
FOR WATER BONDS
Ninth Ward Improvement Association
Hears Eloquent Speakers-Strong
Resolutions of Endorsement
Are Passed

The Ninth Ward Improvement as
sociation apened the aqueduct cam
paign in the Ninth Ward last night
with an enthusiastic meeting of
boosters at A. o. U. w. Hall, East
First street. William Mullholland,
former Supervisor A. E. Davis, Maj.
Powell, R. D. List, Meyer Lisner, secre-
committee, and Perry Weidner, the
chairman, addressed the voters as
Sembled.
Mr.. Mullholland explained at length
what the aqueduct proposition really
included, the nature of the water and
the saurces from which 1T would be
drawn.
Mr.. Weidner addressed the assem-
blage on the best ways of doing person.
al work in bringing the voters to the
polls. A. e. Davis declared, with
owens river water here, we can invite
the whole world here and let them
bring their canteens to fill. 1t is
river full of shining trout" he said,
"and vegetation on the banks. That
doesn't flourish where there's alkali."
Mr. Lissner paid a high tribute to
the personnel of the board, and to Mr..
particularly.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
Ninth Ward Improvement association
that the Owens river project is of the
most vital Importance to the city of
Los Angeles, and that it is the duty of
every patriotic citizen of said city to
vote in favor cf the issuance by the
city of the $23,O0O,00O of bonds neces-
sary to consummate said enterprise,
at the election to be held on The 18th
of next month, for the following rea-
sons, among others, to-wit:
81. Los Angeles needs, or will soon
need, large additional supply of wa

source from which such a quantity of
good, pure water can be obtained.

been voted for that purpose, to-wit:

OWL CAR SERVICE
EXTENDED ON MAIN
Three o'clock Car Will Be Run to
Southern Part of City as Far
as Fifty-fourth
Street

The Los Angeles railway yesterday
granted another concession in connec-
tion with the general owl car service for
Los Angeles, first advocated by The
Herald which will prove great boon
to night workers, physicians, nurses,
policemen and belated ones who are
obliged to tavel after midnight.
The present owl car which has it's
starting point at First and Spring
streets on the Pico Heights line and
runs via Pico street to the barn viii
have its run extended.
From the barn the car will be turned
back in time to reach First and Broad
way by 2:55 each morning.
Then practically at o'clock an ex-
tended run will be made down Main
street and Moneta avenue as far as
Fifty-fourth street.
This will take an immense territory
into the owl car district and will doubt
less prove as popular and as we'll pat
ronized as other lines which are ope-
rated after midnight.

UNITED
BY POISON STORY
ARTICLE IN HERALD BRINGS
FAMILIES TOGETHER
Had Become Separated During San
Francisco Disaster and Neither
Knew Whereabouts of
the Other

Two families who were separated by
the San Francisco earthquake were
united yesterday in Los Angeles
through the medium of story pub
lished in The Herald.
In the Monday issue of The Herald
a report of ,-.e poisoning of four per-
sons in the home of C. Sommers, 1924
Juliet street, was published. Among
the readers of the paper that morning
were Edwin Rump and his wife, who
are living in the Douglas apartments
at Tenth and Hope streets.
A year ago in San Francisco Mr..
Sommers, his wife and son and Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin Rump and their two
children were shaken out of their
homes by the mighty temblor, and
after short time, which the families
spent together in refugee camp, Mr..
Rump took his family to Germany and
Mr.. and Mrs. Sommers went to Omaha.
Since that time they have lost track
of each other completely and neither
guessed the other was in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Sommers grew heartsick for Cali
fornia after he had been in Omaha a
short time and he drifted back here,
bringing his family with him.
A month ago the RumLs returned
from Germany and it was not until
the publication of the account of the
poisoning that either knew of the pres
ence of the other.
Mrs. Rump was at the same time
shocked and delighted. Delighted at
the thought of finding friends and
shocked at the report that they were
so near deaths door. Yesterday she
called upon Mrs. Sommers and found
her just recovering from what came
near being fatal illness.
'It is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, surely" said Mrs. Sommers when
she greeted her friend yesterday. 1--WE
did not any of us expect to be upon
the earth long enough to see anyone,
