Show THE WATER AGREEMENT. The proposition submitted jesterday by Mr. Cnbbott on behalf of ths farmers, farm-ers, with respect to the I'arlej's cun-)on cun-)on water, was a reasonable one, and was promptly accepted by the other commissioners, by Mr Dnrcmus for the general good, and b Mr. I'lsher on behalf of tho city. This settles the contention, It In to be hoped, permanently perma-nently for this season The basis of the ngi cement Is that Mr Dm emus' miitsuremeut nf the 11th Instant Is taken fnr the stnndird. That showed a How ln I'arley'n creek of 7,(WS,00fJ galloon gal-loon dnlly. The city Is to get S.ftW.OtM gallons, 1.311 000 gallons or 1714 per cent of the whole, Is deducted for other prl-mntv prl-mntv rlglils. Thin leaves 4 3inooo gallons gal-lons to the farmers, vv tilth the) are entitled en-titled to take without let or hindrance. Hut whenever the city .an furnish that four million gallons from the canal, the farmers nre content to receive It from there and allow the city the whole ot 1 111. creek, 01, if there l any deficiency in the canal, the city will be allowed to furnish as much canal wiler an lt can, and mike up the deficiency fiom Parley's Par-ley's ennyon (In which case we truit It ma) be piped clown, nnd so the wnsto of four gallons to deliver one be stopped). The spirit of neighborly fairness Is evident 111 thlo fettletnent nnd we believe be-lieve It will tend to good will nil around, and will nt once give the ,11) the wholo of I'nrlej's creek, fnr there Is nnl.l to be ample water ln the cantl to meet tho demand of Hit agreement, and glvo the faimern their full supply. |
