INJUNCTION CHECKS
WORK ON RESERVOIR
Woman Sues City of Vallejo to
Stop Construction of Dam
ESpeciaI Dnpotch TO The Call

NAPA, Feb. 15.-An injunction was
issued in the superior court here this
afternoon against the city of Vallejo
at hearing of the suit brought by
Mrs. C. Malandrino of Napa, executrix
of the estate OF C. Malandrino. a capi-
talist of this city. The injunction pre-
vents the city of Vallejo from contin-
uing the construction of new $4,000
reservoir for that city. in Wild Horse
valley, near Napa. The reservoir is
planned TO have capacity of 100000
900 gallons
Mrs. Malandrino claims that she owns
the land below the site of the new res
ervoir and that the dam will prevent
the natural flow of water across her
property. She asks a permanent in
junction to prevent the city of Vallejo
from completing the reservoir and
would compel the city to tear down
that portion of the reservoir already
finished
Whether today's injunction will be
made permanent will be decided at a
trial in week or so.
