company is unable to supply the city
with enough water and some years ago
the city compelled the company to quit
using water that was found to be un-
fit for use. Mayor Phelan some years
ago filed on water in the Sierras for
the benefit of the city, $50 miles from
San Francisco. There is a beautiful
lake of water there and by building

Of the water in the flood season the
lake would not be injured nor the wa

that now goes down to the sea would

water could be delivered to Stockton
and Sacramento and Oakland on the

Why Ell Paso Should Buy
Up the Waterworks Plant
Editor Ell Paso Herald
EXAMPLE OF Los ANGELES is CITED.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The coming election to vote on
municipal ownership of the Ell Paso
water system reminds me of an election
somewhat similar which took place in
Los Angeles over twenty years ago.
The city Of Los Angeles, by It's old
charter from Spain, owned the river
and the water in it absolutely. But
some years before the city had kindly
rented the water to a company. The
company put in water mains and taxed
the people pretty steep for them. At
that time (1SSD Kansas City charged
81 yearly for water for a house with
lawn, and pumped water from the Kaw
river The city owned the pumping
plant. The Los Angeles water COM
pany charged s24 a year for a house
with lawn. The new corners in Los
Angeles agitated the taking over of
the water by the city. The proposition
was fought by the water company. The
case went to the courts and the amount
was decided that the water company's
mains were worth. The people voted
$1,9O0.000 in bonds. The bonds were
sold and the interest began to run. But
the company still fought the city and
Los Angeles was paying interest on
bonds and paying the water company
for the use of its own water. Finally,
the courts gave possession to the city.
Soon after the transfer af the water to
the city the rates were reduced to S1.35
from 81 a month. In addition much
needed improvements were made In the
water system After the transfer wa
ter was much increased in volume by
pumping the underfow, and the people
Of Los Angeles thought they We're done
with the water question forever But
the valley Of the Los Angeles river
was being settled rapidly, and under
the stimulus Of cheap oil the pumps
were soon running everywhere. and
then the law suits began. The city
finally won against all. but it was then
seen that the river even If no one used
water from 1t higher up, would soon
be no use to the city at the rate it was
growing, so a still hunt was begun for
water
To the north and east was the
desert, and through the orange belt Of
San Bernardino county the water was
worth in the neighborhood of $1,000 a
miners inch. Finally. the CITY attor-
ney and engineer located Owens lake.
FAC miles north of Los Angeles. In Kern
county The rights Of a few ranchers
were secretly bought for a song, and
all being secure. the proposition was
sprung TO bring the water $40 miles
over the desert. This will be done In
less time than the estimate and for less
money. The water will have a fall al
together Of nearly 1000 feet Now, I
wonder where Los Angeles would be
today If the people had not voted to
issue the first bonds to buy the water
out? There would have been
no trained wafer engineers to look
ahead for the future good OF the city
and II the Owens lake project had ever
been carried out what a fine thing the
company would have made of 1t for sill
