4 a. m. Tuesday while the Shawmut
did not get away until 2 p. m. The
Ford car was at Easton at that time,
nearly 100 miles away and going

brake. Ford Car No. 1 which had
been the leader in the race for many
days was at the time lost somewhere
near the Columbia river.

Neither car was making unusual
speed either in or out from North
Yakima. The leading car came
through from Granger at a rate If
speed which was between seven and
eight miles an ohur. The Shawmut

half the time or at he rate of about

TAMALPAIS PARK
IN GREAT FAVOR
Marin County Citizens Line Up
for Public Ownership of
Water Supply
PracticabiIity of Scheme Is Con-
troverted by Owners of
Property

SAN RAFAEL, July Anticipating
the double advantage of having their
water supplies under municipal con-
troll and Mount Tamalpais public
park, the citizens of Marin county are
rallying to the support of the project,
which win receive its first formal inn
petus under the leadership of William
Kent at the mass, meeting to be held on
the evening of July %. Business and
professional men OF Marin county
united today in declaring allegiance to
the plan 1t was almost universally
considered practical proposition and
calculated to meet the approval of the
voters at bond election.
The project to convert Mount Tamal-
pals into a public park and secure the
adjacent water rights for municipal
use, as explained in The Call today
was generally indorsed.
sAUsALITO WANTS IT
In Sausalito, where a water distrib-
uung plant is being installed at an
expense of $1,000 the new plan has
taken a strong and favorable hold For
PEELED to pay rs cents thousand gal
Ions for water, and now under their
new five year contract with the Marin
water and power company the inhabi-
tants pay 80 cents a thousand gallons,
while the cost of distribution brings
the total cost to the consumer UP to
so cents thousand gallons.
o. F. Meldon, town attorney of Sau-
salito and former president of the
ca oo1f ;,.,xo oil
Town Engineer Richardson of Sau-
salito, both of whom have investigated
the proposition. expressed today their
concurrence in the practicability of the
project.
F. P. Howard, president of the Lagu-
nitas water company. did not consider
the proposition practical The water
company owned an undivided one third
interest in the Rancho Tomales Y Bo-
linas. Howard said that the electors
of Marin county were not, in his opin-
ion, strong enough to undertake the
acquisition of Tamalpais as a public
park. That should be done. he thought
with the aid of the state or federal
government, while the water project
was handled separately by the munich
palities of the county. The property,
he continued, was not offered for
tanned 10000 acres
Howard questioned Kent's state
ment that Emma Shafter Howard was
willing to dispose of her one-third in
terest at nominal figure. He declared
that she has no ownership. but simply
a life interest.
ANOTHER HIGH MARK
Howard took decided issue with Will
liam Kent in his declaration that the
Stanford trustees would dispose of
their one-third interest for 100000
He thought that s250.000 would be
nearer the mark.
He continued to say that the Lagu-
nitas company controlled water sup
ply which might be developed to 20,-
100000 gallons a day He suggested
that the public might take a SO year
lease on the property. He suggested
that the municipalities take over their
own distributing systems. leaving the
water sources in private hands.
