VOTES WATER SUPPLY RIGHT.
San Francisco Wins Fight for Hetch
Hetchy Reservoir.

The Senate public lands committee
unanimously voted late yesterday after
noon to report favorably the House bill
giving San Francisco the right to estab-
lish water supply reservoir in Hetch
Hetchy valley.
Il would rather hear the laughing voice
of a child relieved from the grasp of a
water monopoly than the MARBLE of all
the song birds in Christendom, declared
Senator iPttman of Nevada when he
moved to report the bill favorably. His
motion came after hours of debate on
the question of whether the use of the
Hetch Hetchy valley for a water supply
would ruin the beauties of this section of
California and whether San Francisco
and adjoining towns could get suitable
water supply elsewhere.
Former Representative Herbert Parsons
of New York, nature lover with a diary
written in Hetch Hetchy valley. and 9TH
ers appeared before the committee TO OPP
pose the reservoir proposition.
