Should Reduce Cost of Water

From a selfish standpoint alone San
Francisco and Marin county should de-
velop this attraction. With roads
making it accessible and trails through
the splendid forests the park would
become the greatest asset of the
county.
1T has been the wish closest to my
heart to accomplish this result. L know
no other work that would confer such a
benefit on so many people as the open
ing of this territory. with proper re-
strictions, to all the people.
I'm regard to the water project, we
will leave the figures to the engineers.
[ believe, from rough estimates, that
outside the contributions for the park
that the acquisition of the waters and
their proper storage under the super
vision of a well organized commission
would greatly reduce the cost of water
in southern Marin.
In 40 years the entire bond issue
necessary to carry the project through
could be retired. leaving the next gen
Grafton with the benefit of water at
cost, probably 10 or 8 cents a thousand
gallons. instead of the so cents thou
sand gallons we are paying now. In
addition the public would not be COM
PEELED to beg for glass of water from
a private corporation, as they are do
ing. but would, instead, be in control of
their own supply"

Mountain Park Prac ticabIe

Should the proposition of a munich
pally owned water system be carried
out both the park plan and the water
scheme could be carried on together
and to mutual advantage. The same
patrols could be employed to fight the
fires in the forest that would tend to
destroy the value of both and TO police
the park to keep people from in any
manner defling the sources of water
supply.
Ambassador Brice during his visit
here took a trip up Tamalpais and.
after visiting the wonderful panorama
spread beneath him. said that in all his
travels in all parts of the globe no
other part of the world had to offer
the charms of a real wilderness so
near to large city.
"As far as Marin county is concerned
its chief value lies in its scenery. 1t
is the most beautiful country in the
world, but unless proper steps are
taken these will be neglected and
abused park on the mountain where
the forest is eserved and free to
every man.. with the panorama of
ocean, mountains, trees and bay,
would make Marin county an unequaled
residence section and would cause
property values to rise twofold.

Kent Will Give Land

The North Coast water company
owns half of the east peak of the
mountain, subject to the use of the
same by the Tamalpais mountain rail-
way.
The corporation also owns about 1000
acres farther down the east slope. This
land was segregated from the old Sau-
salito rancho for the purpose of being
used to supply water, and 1t is reason
able that the company should favor a
park project provided that the sale did
not interfere with their water rights.
II own 1000 acres running to the top
of the ridge near Rock springs. A cer-
tain amount of this 1 will be glad to
give for park purposes. In addition /
viii gladly contribute land in steep ra-
vine, retaining. however, water privi-
leges to supply future residences on the
Ocean Shore. Steep ravine is one of the
widest and most beautiful spots in
Marin county. and II never should be
invaded by the lumber or wood chopper.

Changes in Channel.

The naval general board has had I'M
der consideration this week certain
changes to be made in the route and
width of the channel of approach to
the new naval station at Pearl Harbor,
and as a result of the deliberations,
including consideration of a special re-
port on the subject from board of
officers, the Navy Department has made
certain minor changes in the route and
modified the plans for dredging so as
to make the channel somewhat narrower
800 feet in width inside and geo feet
in width outside a certain point on
the approach. This viii have the direct
effect of decreasing the amount of
dredging to be done and saving consid
cradle expense to the government,
which would be accomplished by an
adjustment of the contract price with
the contractor. In the meantime, calls
are being made by firms which intend
to submit bids to be opened on May
% by the bureau of yards and docks
for the construction of the Pearl Har-
Dor dock according to the amended
ecifcations.-Armv and Navy Regis

After three years work the armored

tensive changes in the construction and
fittings of the cruiser new guns have
been installed They are of the latest
type and more powerful, than the ones
which they replace. The New York
