to do so. The city then appealed to
President Roosevelt, who, wishing. to
give the city every opportunity to
make out a case, urged Secretary
J Hitchcock to reconsider. In his re-
ply to the president the secretary
| pointed out that in the first place no
public necessity appeared to exist
which would call for so great sur
render of park lands, and, in the sec
ond place, to the fact that the law
creating the park required him to pro-
| tect its natural curiosities and won
ders" and to retain them in their natu-
raj condition Mr. Hitchcock remained
mistaken in his position, and no pro-
gress was made.
Nothing more was done until Mr.
Hitchcock retired and Mr.. Garfield
came into office Then the city asked
for rehearing, which was granted,
and in 1908 Secretary Garfield author
lied the city to proceed along certain
very carefully specified lines. The
grant authorized the city to proceed
at once to create a storage basin at
Lake Eleanor, on the northeastern
border of the park. But San Fran
cisco wanted more than this to car
ry out its plans, and consequently it
decided to take another tact The
city purchased about seven hundred
acres of privately owned land with4n
the reservation and offered to ex-
change it for a larger area of govern
ment land occupying the site desired
for the great storage reservoir. The
offer was considered at the last ses-
sion of congress, but the opposition
prevented any favorable action being
taken. The final onslaught to have
the offer accepted will be made at the
congress now in session.

Francisco to acquire rights in the |

sources of supply might be obtained |

NATION VERSUS CITY
Entire Country Interested In the Spec
ial Election Being Held In San
Francisco Today.
lHerald Special.l

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 14.-No
only the city and county of San Fran
cisco but the entire nation is inter
ested in the special election here to
day to decide upon the proposed bond
issue for the purchase of the Spring
Valley Water company's plant and
the development of the Lake Eleanor
Tuolumne dam and connections to
San Francisco. The proposition calls
for the issue of s45,000,000 in bonds
for the Lake Eleanor-Tuolumne sys-
TEN and $4,000, 900 for the purchase
of the Spring Valley property.
The election is the most important
step yet taken in the eight years bat
tie waged by the city OF San Fran
cisco to obtain an adequate supply of
pure water and at the same time free
itself from the alleged extortion of the
Spring Valley Water company. a pri-
vate corporation which for years has
controlled the. water supply. During
all this time bitter hostility has ex-
listed between the, city and the water
company and every effort made by
the municipality to purchase or other
wise obtain control of the water COM
pany has proved futile Recently,
however, when it became apparent to
everyone that the city was in earnest
in its determination to control the
water supply, the corporation was
brought to terms and made an offer
to sell its plant and rights to the city
for $35,000,000. This is one of the two
propositions to be decided by today's
election.
But still greater obstacles remain
to be. overcome before the present
project for the municipal water sup
ply can become an accomplished fact
San Francisco desires that its new
water supply shall be drawn from the
famous Hetch Hetchy region, which
has been set aside by the federal
government as national park The
scenic beauty of Hetch Hetchy has
been pronounced to be greater than
that of any other section of the coun-
try, and it was but natural, therefore, |
that the proposal of the city of San
Francisco to construct dams and res
ervoirs within the park should meet
with vigorous protests. Congress was
persuaded to pass measure authoriz- |
ing the secretary of the interior to
grant revocable rights for certain
specified purposes. among them reser-
voirs for domestic supply works, on
public reservations and lands, and the
three national parks in California
were specifically named in the act as
being amenable to its provisions.
Mr.. Hitchcock, then secretary of
the interior, declined to make the
grant on the ground that it would not
be compatible with the public interest |

without marring the scenic beauty of
the national reservation. Those most
hostile to the city's plans allege that
Hetch Hetchy is favored because it
would cost less to bring the water
from that region and also that the
project carries with it water power
rights OF incalculable value not to be
found elsewhere On the other hand,
it is claimed that the engineers sur
veys have established the fact that a
supply of pure water adequate to the
city's future needs can be obtained
from no other source than the Hetch
Hetchy valley and that the opponents
of the project aim to deprive a great
city of pure water supply in order
that the scenic beauties of the ma
tional park may remain unmarried for
the enjoyment of few thousand tour
lists.
