Charge That Refuse Is Mixed with
Water Used for Both lrri-

Purposes
Especial to The Herald.l .

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. T.
Charging that portion of the sewage
from the city Of San Bernardino has
been turned, at various times, into the
flume of a Riverside water company,
it is stated that number of farmers
residing in South Cotton are preparing
to take the matter into the courts il
it is necessary to force the water peo-
pie to discontinue the unsanitary and
dangerous practice.
1t is said the matter was first
brought to the attention of farmers re-
siding along the course of the channel
and who use the water for both ILL
eating and domestic purposes, by the
stock refusing to drink the water. In
number of places between South
Cotton and Riverside the water is used
for drinking purposes and it is claimed
that the company was perfectly aware
of this when it turned the sewage into
its flume. At one place a large MeXi-
can settlement, it is stated, relies ex-
clusively on the water of the canal
for drinking purposes and that 1t has
been using for some time the water in
fected with germs of all kinds.
The sewage of the city is the prop
erty of the Gregory-L company
and is piped to it's fruit ranch several
miles below the city and when it is
not desired for irrigation purposes, 1t
is alleged, it is turned into the water
canal to be taken into Riverside

Especial to The Herald.1
REDLANDS, Sept. T. Announce
ment was made today by President
], N. Field of the University of Red
lands that the college will open Sep
tember 20 in the Bible school rooms of
the First Baptist church, this being
necessitated by the fact that the ad-
ministration building for the univer-
sity cannot be completed before the
first of the year. The lower floors will
be finished several weeks before that
date, according to present plans, and
the students will then move to the coly
lege building and occupy rooms on
these floors while the top floor is being
finished.
1t was planned that the lower floor
would be ready for use on the date set
for opening the university, but tl1s
is found impossible, the work being
too great for the time given the con-
tractor. 1t is considered that there will
be no inconvenience except in thu
science department, it not being pos
sible to equip laboratories in the church
building.
There are twenty-eigh large class
rooms in the church and these will
prove adequate for all needs for the
first few months of the college. In
addition there is the large assembly
room and parlors thaa can be used for
assembly purposes. The building Is
an addition to the church, completed
only a few years ago, and therefore In
good condition for such purposes; nav
ing been designed for use for grade
Bible school purposes.
The plans for opening the university
are maturing. The dormitory will be
completed in ten days and will be in
use from the first, housing the young
women. Several of the members of
the faculty have arrived and rented or
purchased houses and are making pre-
parations for starting work in their
departments. President Field, DR.. Mel
ton, DR.. Kyle, Prof. Duke, Prof. Jones,

VIGOROUS PROTEST FILED
AGAINST ASPHALT PLANT
Taxpayers Complain of Offensive
Smell, Smoke, Dust and Un-
seemIy Language

PASADENA, Sept. 7.-TaXpayers liv-
ing near the corner of Raymond ave-
nue. and California street have entered
q protest with the city council against
the asphale plant of the Fairchild- Gil
more company, declaring it to be a
nuisance. The petition is signed by
George w. Ritxman and forty-eight
others.
Briefly, the protestants declare that
the plant is offensive because of it's
smell, the smoke from the furnace,
noise, dust, and because of quarrels
and the use of unseemly language by
its employees. Gas engines are alleged
to run day and night seven days a
week, without a muffler, and, further
that at the time when the teamsters
and other employees are gathered the
swearing is of such a nature that
women cannot remain out of doors.
Ernest Kouwen-Hoven, who took out
a $25 license six months ago to drive a
public automobile, asked the council
for a transfer of his license to a taxi
cab. 1t cannot be done under the city
ordinances, and by agreement change
will be made which will permit Of a
license being transferred.
A new schedule of license fees was
adopted which will yield the city more
revenue. Foot peddlers will now pay
So for three months, So for six months
and 81 for one year. Peddlers with
push carts will pay Sc, $40 and $14 for
the same periods, and auctioneers $75,
$50 and $100.

The water company submitted let
