PRIVATE CITIZENS START
WORK ON STORM DRAINS
Anticipate Action That Municipality
Unquestionably VIII Be Obliged
to Take Against Inundation
by Winter Rains
Snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, July 31.-Work has been
started on two sections of what will
eventually be a part of the city's great
system of storm water drains Both
the undertakings are the result of pri-
vate initiative
Harry Goehegan, who lives just
north of the city limits, has begun a
concrete drain across his property, to
carry off storm water which runs down
from Altadena and causes considerable
damage. His ditch, to cost $500, will
turn the drainage into an old channel
which will carry it to the arroyo.
Frank C. Platt, who owns block at
the northeast corner of Ell Molino ave-
nue. and Mountain street, is spending
$500 to convert a wash on the place
into a strong, stone-lined drain. This
will make a permanent channel, not
subject to change by heavy storms.
The city undoubtedly will have to
construct an entire system of storm
drains in the near future, in order to
protect the down town streets.

suited in a vote favorable to the. plan,

A mass convention is to be held next
Tuesday evening to make nominations

expressed at the meeting and repeated
on the outside.
Water conditions are very satfsfac-
tory here, there being no danger OF
the slightest shortage for irrigation
purposes as some people have feared
That drawn from the Bear valley
reservoir this season has made no APP
probable change in the height of the
water which now stands at practically
fifty feet, insuring an ample supply
for the rest of the season and plenty
to spare.

Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, July 31.-The
Lytle Creek Water and Improvement
company of Rialto has completed the
purchase from the Fontana Develop
ment company of $40 acres of water
bearing lands to the northwest of this
city, including the Ferguson ranch, for
$4,000. The buy is a good one for the
Rialto colony, as it insures all the
water that will be needed for the irri-
cation of the extensive Grange groves
of that district and will permit the en-
largement of the cultivated area, which
has been more or less restricted in the
past.
This is the property which this city
was figuring on securing, but the
Rialto people got their money up first.
1t is one of the finest tracts of water
bearing land in the valley.
