LIVE LOS ANGELES ESTATE MEN
LOOKING OVER VALLEY WITH

WATER SITUATION BRIGHTER.
BLYTHE, Calf. September II

BLYTHE, CAM. september IL.
Peter Janss, of the Janss Invest
ment company of Los Angeles; spent
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week In the PaIo Verde valley look
ing over the Land & Water COM
panys holdings with a view of TAX
ing the sales agency for these lands.
With Mr.. Janss were J. H. Bra
ly, H. H. Braly and Mr.. Tuck, the
latter two being engineers.
1t is known that the Palo Verde
Land & Water company has bee
negotiating with the Janss firm for
some time with reference to the
sale of Palo Verde land now held
by the Land and Water company
| While no definite information has
been given out by the Janss com
pany, members Of the firm have eX
pressed themselves as favorable to
the valley. Before leaving Mr.. Janss
stated that the matter of taking
over the Blythe ranch lands by his
| firm would be settled definitely be-
fore the mass meeting Of September
81
| In case the Los Angeles men take
the Land e Water company's hold
ings the water situation will likely
have a much different aspect and
there is every reason to believe that
the system will undergo a complete
renovation
Those acquainted with the oper-
atiOns of the Janss Investment com
pany in San Fernando valley and
other parts of southern California
feel certain that their coming into
the valley will result in commercial
and industrial activity such as the
Palo Verde has never known before.
Thousands of dollars will be spent
in advertising, land values will in
crease, but first of all the present
water system will be plased in po-
sition to supply abundant water for
all.
1t is thought that this change will
not in any way affect the organiza-
ton of water district here as Mr..
Janss has expressed himself as con-
fident that such a district will be
necessary to the best development of
the valley. The organization of a
district will take time and any
change that will result in relieving
the present water shortage will be
most welcome to the settlers.
There is hardly a question that
within the next two weeks the wa
ter situation will undergo a COM
plete change and the Palo Verde will
be facing the brightest outlook of
its history
