PASADENA, Jan. 3.-Mayor Farley told
hose assembled at the tournament BAN
,uet tonight the Hotel Raymond that
he had received unofficial notice Of
finding by the supreme court in favor OF
the city in the water cases that have been
pendlng in the courts fof several years.
These suits were brought by residents
of South Pasadena to prevent the sale
of water stock wherein 1t would affect
the water supply of that city. The cases
have recently Doen advanced on the cal
endar of the supreme court, and the
mayor has been informed the decision
today is in favor of the water companies,
thus insuring the deal between the city
of Pasadena and the water companies
without further legal entanglements.
Mayor Farley also said since receiving
the information he has called upon the
directors of the water companies and
they have all agreed to sell under the
old contract price.
The mayor was jubilant upon receipt
of the news of the water case decision,
and after he had lauded the tournament
enterprise he switched off onto the water
question.
If the mayors information is correct.
which he believes it to be, the old con-
tention that the water companies could
not give a clear title until these cases
were decided must be cast aside, and
there no longer remains any obstacle in
the path of the mayor and council from
going ahead and carrying out the agree
ment for the purchase of the plants
unless the water companies themselves
dig UP an excuse to back out of the
bargain.
