ASK COUNCIL To BAR
BIC FIGHT PICTURES
San Bernardino Citizens Protest
Against Reproduction of
Jeff-JohnSon Mill

SAN BERNARDINo. July 12,-Asking the
city council to prohibit the showing of the
pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson fight, petition
signed b. 25o men and women of the city has
been presented to that body. Action was de-
ferred pending the meeting Of a full council.
but it is probable that the pictures will either
be entirely prohibited strict regulations re-
garding the age of the spectators will be
adopted
Councilman Frank oweger has taken a stand
against the petition. The newspapers BROAD
cast over the country" he said, described
every blow of the fight and everything else
about it, and everybody read ever line of 1t,
but there is a kick on showing the moving pic
lures. Right now in the moving picture shows
they picture murders and other stuff that Is
worse than that fight"
His motion TO lay the matter on the table
failed TO secure a second. and the matter was
laid over until a full council is present.

WATER SYSTEMS COST
STlRS UP TAXPAYERS
Huntington Park Residents Ex-
cited Over Supply Proposition

HUNTINGTON PARK, July 12.-Excitement
Is running high just now over the proposed
municipal water system that Is soon to be IN
stalled Committees thatlhad been appointed
to investigate the probable cost of municipal
plant reported at the council meeting Monday
night that the cost would be not to exceed
$50, 900 and that the plant would be self sus-
tanning 80
Tho only burden on the taxpayers viii be
for the few preliminary expenses, including the
cost of the special election for the voting OF
the bonds
This movement was brought about by the
action Of the South Los Angeles Water com
pany in getting out an injunction against the
rates established by the board Of trustees. The
present system has never been adequate to the
needs of the place. and the time now seems TO
be ripe for bitter plant.
The new plant will include two eght-inch
mains. with four-inch laterals, and 100 hy-
draDts which will insure splendid fire protec-
tion for all sections OF the city
There seems to he great unanimity OF pur-
pose in this move, and little doubt exists as to
the final outcome.

PASADENA DETERMINED TO
GET OWENS RIVER WATER
Civic Association to Form Com
munity of Interests to
Gain City'S Ends

PASADENA July 1S.-This city seems de-
termined to procure owens river water from
Los Angeles by some way or other. IN addi-
tion to the action of the Pasadena Civic asso-
citation recently when a letter addressed to
the Los Angeles city council asking for terms
and the action of the civic bodies OF Pasadena,
South Pasadena and Alhambra, in taking steps
to form a Community of interests commls-
sion to procure the passage Of enabling laws
for the forming Of water district TO puy
Owens river water. the committee appointed
by the city council some ago, composed or
George G. Kernaghan and Judge H. w. Magee,
has rendered a report advising the consolida-
tion of the existing Pasadena water companies
with a view of developing all the water possl-
BILE in this section, and procuring Owens river
water in addition If necessary.
The report of the committee, which was
unanimously adopted by the Pasadena city
council yesterday, is significant. Both mem
bers of the committee are old residents OF this
city and have made the water question study
for years Kernaghan has been opposed to the
purchase of the existing plants by the city at
all bond elections held for that purpose Ma
gee has always supported the question Of pur-
chase by the city. In their report they present
the following Statement Of facts;
THAT there are two parties here-one VIII 40
nothing until the present water plants are sold
to the city. The other party is strong enough
to prevent 1t, and the city is approaching
time unless relief is afforded that will place
the city where 1t will be unable to help her
eel', and vain regrets over the present apathy
of her citizens when shall be able to look
backward to this time will avail her nothing
in the shape Of relief.
IN this deadlock we believe that some other
nv rnust he found upon which our people can
unite in order that may get out OF this
unfortunate position. and we recommend that
all good citizens should Join in seeing that the
three water companies be consolidated into one
strong company
Among the reasons advanced are: That there
will not be enough water from the Owens river
TO supply all the demand; that the water can
not be bought without two-thirds vote of the
electors of Los Angeles and Pasadena; that the
consolidation of the local companies would de-
termine whether sufficient water can be de-
veloned for Pasadena without buying Owens
river water; that II the consolidation of the
companies shows a shortage. which many be-
lieve 1t will the matter of procuring Owens
river water must be attended to at once: that
the consolidation of the local water companies
should be forced If necessary by public opin-
ION and that a mass meeting shoudld be called
at once to take up the question.
