OFFERS SAUSA[ITO
NEW WATER SUPPLY
A. w. Foster Promises to lm-
prove Service to Meet Re-
quirements of Town
Company Floats Sz,00O,OOO
Bonds to Extend Plant and
Service Pipes

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. IA solution
20 the problem of supplying water for
sausalito has been offered by A w.
Foster. president of the Marin water
compay. who says that the company
can furnish the town all the water its
citizens desire.
Two months ago. while sausalito was
suffering under a midsummer water
famine the town rose up. and with out
= score Of dissenting votes. passed q
500 600 bond issue TO defray the eX-
pense Of installing a municipal water
system. Then the town trustees began
an investigation to find a source OF
supply.
As the local watersheds have proved
Inadequate to furnish the quantity OF
water required the trustees turned 10
northern Marin county for water There
appear 10 be three sources from which
Sausalito may draw its supply. the
North Coast water company. the How
ard watersheds and the Marin water
company.
According TO Sausalito citizens, who
profess to know the water situation,
the North Coast has its hands full sup
plying Mil Valley and Belvedere; How
ards company is tangled up in litiga-
tion, while the Marin seems TO be the
only concern that is in position 10
furnish the much desired water.
A few weeks ago Foster hoated 81
COOS 600 worth Of bonds for his COM
pany and a number of Improvements IN
the service have been promised. The
mains which now are laid TO Corte
MADEIRA probably will be continued to
Sausalito. The company officials say
that contract will be let TO raise
the dam in the Bill Williams gulch 10
feet TO insure a water supply OF 1.500.-
600 gallons. This would. it is be-
lieved. be ample TO Ill the needs of
Sausalito and the towns en- route. In
