Old Reservoir to
be Used to Store
up Water for Tank
CITY COUNCIL DECIDES 10
HAVE CONNECTIONS MADE
AT ONCE.

The old city reservoir will be used
as a storage tank for the public nat
atorlum, IL not this year, then next.
At the meeting OF the city council
last evening, unanimous sentiment
was expressed in favor of such ac-
ton and It was practically decided
to make the proper connections at
once unless the cost is found to be
too high In that event the work
will not be undertaken until next
spring.
After naming Councilmen Vaughan,
Montgomery and Phelps as commit
tee to take charge Of the natatorium,
Acting Mayor Dyer suggested the use
of the old reservoir as a storage tank.
He explained that the overflow
from the gravity system could be
run into the old reservoir on nights
when it was not being run directly
into the pool, thus giving the nata-
torium a reserve supply upon which
it could draw at any time. Such an
arrangement would not only insure
a full pool at all times, he said, but
would permit Of more frequent
changing OF the water and in addi-
ton would provide warmer water for
swimming purposes as the sun would
have access to the water while in the
reservoir. Moreover, the old reser-
voir could still be connected with the
water mains as now, he said, and
would thus give the city an addition
al reserve supply Of water in case of
a great conflagration.
The mayors suggestion met with
hearty approval although some Of.
the members were of the opinion
that. inasmuch as the swimming sea-
son is nearing an end, the connection
should not be made until next year.
The committee was instructed to re-
port next week upon the probable
cost.
Acting Mayor Dyer estimated that
the work would not cost over $500.
THE city has sufficient old vitrified
pipe on hand, he said, "and also the
necessary valves. Street Commission
er Heathman could work some pris-
oners on the job and thus cut down
the labor bill"
Supt. F. B. Hayes Of the water de-
partment was present and declared
the connections can be made without
much trouble. The overflow pipe
line runs within SO or 60 feet of the
old reservoir he said and could be
easily tapped Another line leading
rom the reservoir hack to the over

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson faced the involved Mexican
tangle today Carranza has defied
him and 1t is known the administra-
ton intends 10 answer.
While this situation is being dealt
with, conditions along the border are
becoming more serious. The entire
Atlantic fleet will leave Newport for
southern waters August 20. Though
II was denied at the navy department
the movement Of the 80 warships had
anything to do with Mexico, their pres
ence at the southern drill grounds will
put them nearer Mexican ports should
they be needed.
Even before Secretary Lansing and
the Pan-Amerlcan conferees made
their final "get together" appeal to the
Mexican factions, the president had
received Carranza's message warning
them to cease meddling." This was
followed by a pronouncement from
General lara, Carranzista chief. scor-
ing the administration and the Pan
American conference and the financial
Interests OF both sides of the border,
and pledging armed resistance to out
side interference The Carranzista
agency made public kilograms from
II Carranzista leaders declaring they
would have nothing to do in any pro-
gram which Carranza does not ap-
prove, and pledging their loyalty to-
resisting an enforced compromise
with the "reactionaries."
The tone of the Carranza communi-
cations is not alone defiant, but is on
the verge of insulting. Many officials
expressed the belief they ought to COM
pei action by the United States as
means of consolidating all the factions
on Carranza's side and winning the
sympathy of the Pan-American pow
ers.
Lansing was the first official the
president consulted with following his
return from Cornish early today
Carranza's defy was taken up by the
president and the secretary Of state
That II was deemed Objectionable was
admitted. 1t was recognized, however
that such answer as the administra-
tion wanted to make would likely pre-
cipitate a situation in Mexico as would
render Intervention inevitable. The
Latin American ENJOYS have refused
to endorse Intervention.

"TWO-BIT" FARE TO VENICE
TURNED DOWN BY STATE

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE
state railroad commission has decided
against the residents of the Santa Mon
lea Bay district in their petition ask
ing that the Pacific Electric railroad
be compelled to reduce it's round-trip
passenger fare to 25 cents.
The railroad commission held that
there was not sufficient ground for the
charge of discrimination in the elec-
trio railroads passenger rate schedule.
Proponents of the 25-cent rate as
serted that passengers between Ven
ice and Santa Monica and Los An
geles we're compelled to pay the same
rate as is charged to Redondo, Long
Beach, San Pedro and other beach
points farther away from Los Angeles.
The railroad officials took the posi-
tion that to deviate from a blanket
rate to all beach towns would be dis
elimination against the other beach
points.
