.nETCH HFTCHY Plan
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Open Meeting Will Be Held by
the Public Utilities Conn
mittee Today
Much Information Regarding
the Sierra Water Scheme
Is Expected

An open meeting to discuss the
Hetch Hetchy water supply PROPOSE
ton will be held this afternoon at the
supervisors chambers in Eddy street
by the public utilities committee. In
vitations have been extended to the
members of the Merchants associa-
ton and other commercial bodies to
be present, and the legal questions
propounded by the association last
Saturday to Chairman Giannini will be
answered.
mass of information dealing with
the engineering, legal and other
aspects Of the whole problem OF Sc
curing this Sierra source for the city
will be forthcoming, it is understood
wide invitation having been extended
for general discussion, and the pro-
ponents of the plan may spring a few
surprises to the discontinue of those
who have been neglecting their good
opportunity to boost a great civic
project.
The board of supervisors have rein
forced not only the work of City En-
gineer Manson along engineering lines
with the labors of Engineers Desmond
Fitzgerald and c. D. Mark. but also
supplemented the legal council of City
Attorney Longs office with outside ju-
dicial aid. Every step taken by the
city has been with the advice and CO.
operation of able parties who have thus
far been kept in the background.
At today's session the opinion of the
attorney general of the United States
setting forth the authority of the Sec
rotary of the interior to make the
grant which Secretary Garfield has
conferred on the city may be rein
forced by other eminent legal opinion
touching the effect of the stipulations
in the grant Attorney Lindley of
Lindley & Eickhoff the experts on the
states laws relating to water rights,
has confirmed throughout City Engi-
neer Manson's view that the city does
not have to yield to the irrigation dis9
tricts any stored water, or any water
except the natural flow of the river
up to a delivery of 1850 second feet.
The basic contention of the Spring
Valleys attack on the project, filed
vainly with the board the day before
II called the special election for No
Vember II, that the city must yield a
mean flow" of 1880 second feet is
absolutely repudiated by Lindley This
and other opinions equally in point
may be dug out of the public utilities
committees magazine in today's en-
gagement with the nonboosters.

WHITMAN WILL NOT
Be MADE OFFICER
Position in Juvenile Court Not
for Former Chief of
Police
Judge Murasky Refuses to Dis
cuss Likely Candidates for
Probation Position

George A. Whitman, former chief OF
police, will not be appointed probation
officer. His record and the determined
public opposition which has arisen
against him have determined that fact.
Though no definite announcement
has been made 1T is we'll understood
in court circles that Whitman will fail
to get the position which he has been
seeking.
Whitman was one of a number OF
candidates for the place. His record
as chief of police. from which post
he was dismissed under a cloud.
the accusations being that he black
mailed women. resulted in strong OPP
position to him. No sooner did 1t be-
come known that his name was men
toned for the place than Judge Mu-
rasky began receiving communications
and callers protesting against any ac-
ton. The protests were from all
classes, seemingly actuated by the
same thought-that the appointment
would work tncalculable harm to the
Juvenile court.
There seems to be an impression -
said Judge Murasky yesterday, that
the power of appointing the probation
officer lies in my hands. Nothing of
the sort. The probation committee
names the man ii wants TO I'LL the posi-
ton and I have only the power Of
acceptance or rejection.
Il will, however. state az this stage
that the committee will not appoint
and neither will 1 accept any man
against whom there is a strong objec-
ton on the part of large number of
the people. The appointment of such
a man would work to the detriment Of
the Juvenile court and that we must
prevent.
Il do not care to mention any names,
as 1T would be premature for me, to
say the least. to come out saying I
would not accept man before the
committee named him. l will wait I'M
til the probation committee has chosen
the person for the position; but 1 wish
to repeat that no man against whom
there is a strong public. sentiment will
Sc given the place.
In the face of Judge Murasky's
words and of the strong sentiment
against Whitman which has become
only too evident within the last two
days, the chances of his getting the
position have been reduced to a mini
mum.

outlines are burnt into the wood by

striking, resembling Italian intaglio

the paintings seen on woodwork In old

The style is modern, however, with a
graceful leaning toward the medieval.
