'SjfRRANS WRANGLE
OVER HETCH HETCHY
Meeting of Club Said to Have
Been Packed by Natural
list John Muir

The Sierra club was again in a tur-
moil last night over the project of
using Hetch Hetchy valley as a source
of San Franciscos water supply. The
faction supporting the city in it's plan
of bringing down the waters of the
Sierra charged that the directors of
the club had not presented the issue
fairly in the clubs bulletin.
resolution to this effect, offered by
James K. Moffitt, precipitated a spirited
discussion, in the course of which
Weather Forecaster Alexander McAdie,
the chairman of the meeting, was COM
PEELED at times to request the speakers
to refrain from personalities. After
the meeting it was asserted that John
Muir, the naturalist, had packed the
session with about rs members who had
dined with him just before going to
the hall.
1t was at the request of SO members
of the club that a special session was
held in the Merchants exchange build
ing last night for the purpose of con-
sidering the Hetch Hetchy matter. That
the friends of San Francisco were
ready to open up a struggle with the
odds against them was apparent, for
the club recently voted 700 to 200 in
opposing the conversion of the valley
in to q reservoir.
Marsden Manson. city engineer. de-
Tended the city's actions in selecting
the Hetch Hetchy site.
Professor Morgan, William Gorill,
Professor Franklin and Clay Goodin e
were among those who opposed the
Hetch Hetchy project. Moffitt, Man
son and Professor Keep were the prin-
cipal speakers in behalf of the plan.
When 1t became apparent that a
hopeless tangle was likely to result,
Moffitt withdrew his resolution. Cleve-
land Forbes then tried to start the row
all over again by moving that the
club indorse the action of the directors
during the last year He was per-
suaded to substitute motion TO ad-
journ for the proposed Endorsement and
so the matter rests unsettled.
