SAN FRANCISCO MAY
LOSE WATER
RIGHTS
Department Decides
Against Golden Gate CityS
Claims to Reservoir Site in
Yosemite Park.


fBy Morning journal sneeiai Ieassd wlrel
Washington, Feb. 27.--It IS not
necessary that ''IIeteh Hetehy valley
in Yosemite National park, should be
available to San Francisco for the
purpose of Il municipal water supply.
according to reports TO the interior
department by the geological survey
and reclamation service made public
today.
Secretary Ballinger accordingly has
requested the mayor and supervisors
of the city and county of San Fran
cisco to show cause why the permits
sion previously granted by the interior
department for the contingent use OF
the Hetch Hetchy sites should not be
revoked. These officials have been
given until May / to reply, after which
the secretary viii render his decision
in the matter.
A permit granted the city and
county by Secretary Garfield, May 4,
1908. provided for the fun develop
ment of the Lake Eleanor valley as Il
source of water supply, and after its
full capacity had been attained, the
permit authorized the utilization of
the Hetch Hetchy site for this pur-
pose, provided the needs OF San Fran
cisco and adjacent cities required It.
Confirmation Of this permission was
sought at the last session OF congress
but no action was taken in the mat
ter.
To determine the necessity Of re-
tanning Hetch Hetchy within the terms
of the permit, Secretary Ballinger, in
october last, instructed Director
George Otis Smith of the geological
survey and Engineers Hill and Hobson
of the reclamation service, to inves-
tigate the subject. These officials
have rendered their reports and con-
cur in tho conclusion that the Lake
Eleanor project is amply sufficient to
meet the present prospective needs Of
the city.
