In times of heavy rains this, river pours a large volume of water into Mission Bay. No doubt the question rises in the reader's mind "why in the world don't they tap the San Diego river? Why did they not do so long ago?" A very legitimate question not easily answered. Some sixty years ago, a poor, barefoot boy was selling papers on the streets of the little village of San Diego, with a small popu lation of Spanish. Mexicans and Americans. I cannot follow up the history of the- industrious and frugal lad. whose name was Fletcher, or "Fletchy." as they then called him, but now he is known as Mr. Fletcher and Is matching his powers with that of the city of San Diego. Mr. Fletch er, is one of the principal owners in a water company which many years ago tapped the San Diego river and took out a small quan tity of water for Irrigation pur poses. This company has had for many years the undisputed right to draw away water from the river. I think they also claim to be successors to the first man who ever tapped the river. Well what of it? That is what they have been trying to find out for several year, or ever since San Diego has been awake to the fact that tbb city must have the San Diego river or call a halt on the growth of population and .manufacturing. Well-, what is the contention? It is this: That the attorneys for the city claim that the Fletcher com pany, is entitled only to the num ber of Inches of water per acre foot that the company has been taking all these many years, while the attorneys for the water com pany claim that the company is en titled to all the water if they choose to take it or that their priority of Japping the river gives the' company the prior right to all the water. A battle royal has been raging for years and has not yet reached the state supreme court, much less the federal court, where it vwill likely go unless the city should make a satisfactory offer to purchase the priority right. ' Another occurance that Is hast ening the matter on the part of the city is its prospect for immed iate rapid growth, for during the months of January and February, 1926. a, number of Los Angeles land boomers have gone to San Diego and purchased seven mil lions of dollars worth of property and are applying the Los Angeles method to San Diega. and should they succeed in San Diego as they have in Los Angeles they will not find the wherewithal with which to water their stock. So you cannot, in this dilemma, blame San Diego from putting Herds the whole proposition in : a nutshell: The money you bow pay oat : brings yoa : nothing bat rent receipts. .

' This project of damming thje Colorado is one of the most com prehensive pieces of work ever proposed in the United States, and it carried it will' in time enable San Diego to rival Los Angeles in population and entirely out reach her in attractiveness. The city council has now: and for some months has had in its employ at a salary of something like one thousand dollars per month, a city planner, a Mr. Nolan, who is plan ning to make San Diego the most beautiful city in America. His plans are not yet ready for the public, but he has given out some hint as to what ought to be done. j To give you a better undef- Home owning is important mijestone in the passing years 1 A woman in the new home finds much to do in things dear to a woman's heart fixing little touches of ; home daintiness here, soft lights there comfort and coziness withjn, flowers and foli age without. - 147 LUMBER; CHEP liave about 20,00 which we will close out this week at 515.00 perl thousar d Feet.
