Show THE WATER QUESTION. l The restraining order issued by Judge Morse I IlH ought to be a reminder to the City Government of l I fffl this city and to property-owners generally that the j 1 1 IJfl water question here will never be settled until L "flfl steps are taken to secure an ample supply, and a h "JIB supply not contingent 'upon the whims of a few j,f l ranchers, or subject to the idiosincracies of the hvifl I ( a MM mountain streams in a dry season. A great deal of ' , 'fafl i'iiM money has been expended upon the Parley canyon . j 3jM water, but it seems the only result is to make sure ' ''tH a certain amount of water to some ranchers in a i jJgB season when all the water sources are running low. Kjif Jfl The water of the Cottonwoods should be secured; lnj$l ffl the water running to waste above Liberty park FM,IH should ba turned into the city mains; if necessary, f e4M a dam should cut off the shallow water of Utah IfjliJH lake and stop the mighty evaporation going on if Pi Jfl there. This will all cost a vast sum of money, but ' ifl not so much as would be lost in one conflagration I; ?4 in this city, were a fire to break out in the right r'iwfl place some night when there is no pressure on the 'U -tfl mains.
