SUBURBANITES SUFFER FOR
LACK OF DOMESTIC WATER
Residents in Dry Tract Hold lndiena-
ton Meeting and Make Plans
for Bettering Conditions

PASADENA, July 22.-Residents of
the dry tract" in which 100 families
have barely enough water to live on,
held a meeting at Grover Cleveland
school house this evening to discuss
means for lettering their condition.
Mrs. ]. E. Garrison was the dominat-
ing spirit of the meeting She told of
interviews she had had with John Nc
Donald of the Cottonwood Canyon Wa
ter company, which supplies the tract
with what water it gets, and also with
Secretary Durrell of the Lake Vine
yard Land and Water company.
John Mcdonald was reported as say
ing the Cottonwood Canyon company
was giving all the water it could. 1t
gets water from the North Pasadena
Land and Water company through a
five-inch meter, and this is the sole
supply of the hundred families in the
northwest.
Mr.. Mcdonald advised the residents
to go to the North Pasadena company,
which has plenty of water directly and
try to force that association to allow
the dry tract bigger share of water.
This will probably be done, although
1t is also possible water may be Sc
cured from the Lake Vineyard com
pany. The North Pasadena company is
much more accessible.
The desperate condition of the dry
tract has been one Of the issues in the
recent water campaigns, but all the
talk has done nothing to relieve the
situation, and many of the people can
not get enough water for domestic pur-
poses.
1t has been suggested that they start
legal proceedings against the real estate
agents who sold them their land under
assurances that there would be plenty
of water

Partride if Plans of COM
mssioners Garry

Stone, president of the fish and game
commission of California, who is at the

private farm of the commission, con-
sisting of forty-three acres in Alameda
county, where they have been success
fully raised in captivity.
Last year 1000 of these partridges
were imported into the United States,

missions. A few were purchased by the
California commission, and contrary to
expectations, there is now a flourishing
brood of 100 chicks.

birds would be sufficient to stock the
island in two years. There are no cOyo-

leave them alone these partridges will
