RIGHTS ARE ACQUIRED

The entire membership Q! the state
board OF corrections appeared before
tho city commission las, night % ask
that the city grant TO the state prison
perpetual easement for the carrying
Of 10000 gallons OF water day
through the city's Farley canyon con-
dait. The request was referred TO the
law department and the water depart
ment for an early report.
Heretofore the state institution has
purchased it, water from the city, TAX
ing IL from the conduit near the prison
aud paving for il at meter rates The
state has recently acquired rights to
10000 gallons daily flow from Farley s
stream, having purchased it from an
owner farther mp the canyon. The city
l. now asked 20 carry this water in
It's conduit. delivering il al the same
point where the state now purchased
water from the conduit.
Governor William Spry explained
that the present method of obtaining
wafer was unsatisfactory and un-
economical. Having acquired the water
from another party the whole trouble
will be solved, he said. if the city will
grant the easement as prayed for.
TIE city's old asphalt plant, which
has been lying in q state OF rust and

The organzat ton or this new company

completion OF The Panama canal. The
strategical location of San Diego with re-

In reference to the formation OF the
company General Otis Yesterday made
public the following statement
I do not myself know ali about the

personal knowledge OF il. and have
had for some time some small inter-

understand It, OF the group OF men

conference regarding the possibilities
of the project and what ought to be
done. Nothing has yet been brought
To a head. and no organization Is 10

ference. That will come later and
Will doubtless be concluded on the

deposits are in Lower California,
