Show WA ta R if 14 homo amilo agitation about water in different parts of t the I 1 L el eity city ty and III id unless measures bo be taken takeno 40 prevent it it is probable that tile the agitation will continue and may increase during the last few lew years sears tile tho inhabited limits of tile tiie city elty have becil beell largely extended which haq lias caused a cry to go up lip for fur water accommodation accommodations i for the tile extension for domestic and irrigation purposed ef f and said extension being almost wholly on the hig lii ili glier herand berand and drier portions of the city has lias more need of water and need of more water than the lower portions of the city again from baid eaid lower portions of til thu city eity come occasional complaints of tile the frequent difficulty of ot their obtaining thie the portion of water to which ibey they are reasonably and rightfully light right fully entitled and sometimes mes the tilo upper portions of tile the city because of their situation high up tip the tile water courses cou raes their greater absorptive power and their belleve believe dand sometimes charged g greater reater ab rp tion tiou from said streams are armost voted a nuisance to tho tilo other portions of tile tiie city thero there is another thing tiling also that forces itself upon the attention and that is that the tho erection of larger larzer and lii ill diore ibro pretentious gli Wil buildings dings for resl resi lesi lesl dence donee and other uses the construction of tanks and various conveniences forsire for fire fountain watering watering of grass plats and domestic purposes increases the tile amount of water used on many lots and correspondingly decreases the amount left for other lots which however may be an inconvenience in drouthey seasons anly only ili in the consideration of this question various matters have to be taken into account and given their due duo prominence and weight in the tile first place the older settlers have indubitably in justice and law jaw and superior claims and the right to due consideration thereof f andin and in the next place theresi the residents of the tile newer portions of the city have claims which should be considered they pay taxes to the tile Cit city eity yand and it is nothing more thau right that they have a proper share in all the rights and privileges for which those taxes are supposed to bo be paid one question is is there sufficient lelent water the tile year round to give a supply to tile the newer portions of the city and justify the tile city authorities author in cutting or authorizing tho the cuttin new turning water into those ditches without unreasonably curtailing the supply of wamer water to tile the older portions of the city there can bo be no doubt that there thene would be sufficient water available for increased irre uso use all the year excepting two or three months of tile the summer and fall but for that time it is a doubtful matter mitter the present season is no criterion high water usual hore here the tile latter jatter part of may tills ta 11 ye year ar was nearer nealer the latter part p art I 1 of if

anav rind some home we sort of assistance in the tile tion of df well weil artesian arte sian or other whereby water for domestic purposes might be e secured it seems that this water supply ind and distribution question must needs receive more thorough 11 and archul careful attention than it has received hitherto in ili order that all the be citizen citizens may be accommodated and fairly dealt with in the matter po far as can he be to quiet and prevent disputes it may bo be necessary for the tho construction of mole moio accurate water wa W r gates in the vailous ditches and the tile
