MAY COMPROMISE ON
WATER PROPOSITION
BOTH SIDES ON ISSUE ASK
"WHAT NExT?"
Citizens Committee Which Defeated
Bonds Expected to Suggest Some
Remedy-Believes in Mu-
ncipaI Ownership
Especial to The Herald

PASADENA, Sert. %. = Although
both sides are resting today from their
strenuous endeavors on the bond cleo
ton, the question of "What next?'
has already been raised.
James McAdam has issued a state
ment in which he advocates an at
tempt on the part of the two factions
to get together on some proposition
which will be mutually satisfactory,
then petition for another election.
1t is generally supposed that the
citizens committee which defeated the
bonds will have some alternative to
suggest. When asked in regard to this,
NJ. H. Weight, who managed the cam
paign, refused to commit himself, say
ing that the committee would shortly
hold a meeting, at which the question
would be taken up.
Municipal control of the water
plants as a prerequisite to more water
is earnestly desired" said Mr.. Weight
today "and should be accomplished
through the influence and cooperation
of all persons having proper regard
for the property rights and interests
of the city. The issue was defeated
because 1t did not recognize to a suff1-
cient extent these interests, but rather
imposed on them and jeopardized
them"

LONG BEACH, Sept. 25.-The Long
Beach Water company today offered tc
sell it's plant and distributing system
to the city for $497, 300. This is nearly
double the price set by the Alamitos
company on its plant. The latter was
offered at $25OOO0.
The Long Beach companys system
covers a much larger part Of the city,
and extends also to Terminal island.
If the Alamitos system were pur-
chased additional pipe would have to
be laid. If the Long Beach system
were acquired a considerable portion of
the pipe might need to be replaced.
The Long Beach company has three
large reservoirs.
In the communication addressed to
the council the company's officials say
that the recent valuation of 1914, 900
put on the plant by the court was not
too great and that they are offering the
system at a sacrifice.

HASTILY LAY TRACKS;
FORCE DRAWBRIDGE
PACIFIC ELECTRIC SHOWS ITS
SPEED
Construction Crew Puts Down 1000
Feet of Heavy Railway to Con-
meet San Pedro and Will
mlnston
Especial to The Herald. ]


SAN PEDRO, Sept 25.-What is be-
lieved to be move by the Pacific Elec-
trio Railway company to block the Los
Angeles Harbor company in it's dredg-
ing operations about to begin in the
west basin of the San Pedro inner har-
har and the lands owned by 1t adjacent
thereto and to force construction of q
drawbridge was revealed today when a
thousand feet of railroad was hurriedly
built around the bay between Whining
ton and San Pedro under a franchise
granted by the city of Wilmington a
year ago.
Early this morning a gang of men
with teams. scrapers, rails and ties
were sent to the First street crossing
of the company's line at Wilmington
and from there hauled three-fourths Of
mile west on First street to point
between West street and San Pedro
street. The scrapers were put to work
on the left side of the wagon road a
few feet west of the wire fencing en-
closing the so-called Banning tide
lands. BY sundown 1000 feet of broad
gauge heavy treack was in place, ex-
tending some 700 feet beyond the old
windmill and tank toward San Pedro.
The cause of the great haste in get
ting this particular section of the road
built lies in the fact that dredger of
the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific company
is now on it's way fro mAlamitos bay
to begin operations in the west basin,
and today superintendent Corbaley
was negotiating in San Pedro for the
hauling of lighters, so that there might
be no delay in starting the work.
Once in place 1t would have been an
easy matter to cut through the right
of way of the electric company and
begin excavating in the Bixby slough
and the Machado lake, property ac-
quired by the Los Angeles Harbor COM
pany from the Imperial investment peo-
pie. This cut once started would have
compelled the railroad to put in draw
bridge, but with the A~.ck In, the har-
Dor company will now not only have
to prepare for a bridge for the wagon
road, but also provide the draw for the
electric road.
Intense interest prevails in San. Pc
dro over this matter.

TOURNAMENT PARK IS
NOT CITY PROPERTY
ASSOCIATION MAY BE ABLE TO
RECOVER LAND

Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Sept. 25.-Tournament
park may not belong to the city after
all, according to the statements of dt-
rectors of the association today.
1t has always been supposed that the
park was decided to the city several
years ago. Since then the ASSOCIATION
has secured a tract of adjoining land
which it wished to give the city If the
bond issue had carried.
According to the constitution of the
association, however, real estate can
only be disposed of by two thirds
vote of the members, and the park was
decided to the city by a vote of the dl-
rectors only.
Accordingly it is probable that If the
association should desire to do so 1t
can legally recover the control of the
park. 1t would then own the complete
tract of land, consisting of about twen-
ty-two acres.
Whether they will care to do this re-
mains to be seen. All are much disap-
pointed at the result of the vote. Pres
ident Cary will call meeting of the
directors probably Monday, and will
at that time hand in his resignation.
Frank V. Rider will do the same.
A number of other directors have
stated that they will either resign or
remain, as the majority decides. Pres
sure is being exerted to get the men
to stay by the proposition for the pres
ent.
Nearly all of them have stated that
they would not undertake to give an
other tournament in the present park
and 1t probably will be omitted for this
year, at least
1t is possible, however, that the city
might release whatever right it has on
the present park, and that the associa-
tion might then bond the entire prop
erty for a large enough sum to con-
struct an adequate park. A meeting
of the association will be held next
week at which all these plans will be
taken up.

Manager Lawton Announces Pleasure
Grounds Will Not Be Closed.
Improvements Are
Planned

SANTA MONICA, Sept. 25.-It was
announced this morning by Manager
Frank Lawton that the Santa Monica
canyon resort will be kept open
throughout the winter season. Cabins
are being built with railroad ties dis
carded by the Los Angeles-Pacific COM
pany and 1t is stated that applications
have been received for some of these
apartments, which are to be furnished
with old-fashioned fireplaces and other
attractions.
A number Of important improvements
are being planned. One of them Will be
a baseball diamond, and efforts are
being made to have one of the Winter
league teams play Sunday games there.
The sheltering bluffs which surround
the canyon offer an ideal place for the
games, doing away with the annoyance
occasioned by the heavy winds which
prevail out in the open.
The management are also trying TO
make the resort headquarters for the
prize fighters who train in this vicinity.
Freddie Welsh has already completed
ARRANGEMENTS to train there for his next
fight. He will begin work Immediately.
The miniature railway will be con-
tinued the full length of the canyon
and later will be built to the end of
the long wharf.
