WOULD HAVE SPEEDWAY
FOR DEMONSTRATIONS

A scheme that has been discussed
and which is likely TO take some defi-
mite form is that of speedway or
demonstrating ground for the autome-
bile trade. The persistency with which
the officers of the law watch the trade
when demonstrating cars has been an
noying and 10 hold motor vehicles down
10 the limit OF the law on hills and
other stretches. when being displayed
TO the buyer, would be Impractical. if
the excuse given by the demonstrator
was that he did not care to break the
speed laws. A buyer testing out a
car wants 10 see just what il viii do
and on such occasions takes nothing
for granted, but must see practically
displayed the ability Of the motor ve-
hicle. being investigated. The dealers
are thinking of getting together, with
the chief of police, TO see IL there is
not some section that can be laid aside
for this purpose. II such a place can
be secured where the dealer VIII not
be molested it will greatly lessen the
work of the officers. II would place
the dealers on their honor TO see that
the speed laws are complied with,
which viii have far reaching effect. as
they viii go beyond their own en-
ployes to help discourage speeding.

SUPERVISORS VIEW
/. HfTCH HETCHY SITE
Find an Ideal Location for Big
Reservoir Proposed by
the City
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


HEFCH HETCHY VALLEY. via Yo-
semitic, Aug. 22-The supervisors party
came for water and found fire. While
descending the steep grade into the
valley yesterday afternoon burning
tree fell across the trail between the
first body and the other members of the
party. The end man cleared the trail
and joined the others in camp without
mishap. Today the entire party rode
to the eastern end of the valley, where
they examined the extreme eastern
point the water will reach. The walls
of the valley at this end are narrowed
TO 100 yards.
This afternoon City Engineer Man
son conducted most of the party to the
dam site at the western end of the val
ley. Manson will take the party over
to the north wall and into the water
shed of Lake Eleanor tomorrow. Man
son explained at length the compara-
tive capacity of the Hetch Hetchy val
lev proposed reservoir, the Lake
Eleanor reservoir, with that of the
Spring Valley reservoir at Crystal
springs and the magnificent reservoir
of the New York city system at Creton
dam in New York. He said that the
Crystal springs in San Mateo county
had a maximum storage capacity of 49,
e00, 100000 gallons. The magnificent res
ervoir at Croton impounds sl,000000. 600
gallons. The Lake Eleanor dam alone,
which is TO be constructed first will
impound $4,000, ,00o, 900 gallons. or double
that of Crystal springs. This is with q
dam 200 feet high.
The Hetch Hetchy valley, with dam
$50 feet high, he said, would impound S3-
600, goo, 900 gallons. and dam ESQ feet
high would double the amount. or Co.
eo0, 900. 900 gallons. The daily supply for
one year Of these reservoirs would
yield without replenishing, he said. as
follows: Crystal springs, 52.000,00o gal
Ions. the Croton dam reservoir, S5, ,000-
600 gallons; the Lake Eleanor reservoir,
lO6. 600 900 gallons. the Heteh Hetchy
reservoir. $4,000, 900 gallons.
The supervisors expressed themselves
satisfied with the quality and amount
of water. They believe Hetch Hetchy
viii be an ideal reservoir site on ac-
count of it's closed in character The
steep grade walls on either side and
the narrow passageway at the western
end of the valley make most excel
lent reservoir site
