Utz, Tustin) THE NEXT DAY IT RAINED The above heading is rarely pertinent to ordinary conditions in Southern California, therefore, seize this opportunity to emphasize the importance of the police department.

(By C. E. Utt, Tustin) THE NEXT DAY IT RAINED The above heading is rarely pertinent to ordinary conditions in Southern California. I, therefore, seize this opportunity to emphasize the fact, and also the further fact that it usually rains so little in this section that we are severe sufferers from drought. It is quite likely that there are today numerous excited citizens who would vote to form protection districts to try in some measure to prevent flood damage to their properties. It is quite as likely that before the work was begun these same citizens, observing our glorious sunshine days, would then vote to disincorporate the "districts." There are numbers of us who have, observing the lowering water plane and our increasing pumping bills, looked forward to the inevitable bankruptcy of our underground and principal water supply. Proposes Remedy Now I propose a remedy both for flood and drought. It is, in my opinion, and I have given the subject much thought for many years, the only comprehensive and adequate remedy at hand—and it is guaranteed to cure. Let us build a dam at Rincon (below Prado) near where the Santa Fe crosses the river. This dam should be one hundred feet in height and store between one and two hundred thousand acre feet of water. It should be of unquestioned strength and permanence—three times as strong as necessary, for there must be no John-town horror to record in this valley. Adds to Wealth Also This will at once solve our flood problem and add many millions to our possible annual wealth production. The floods now wasting in the sea would be held for use in the dry season, and the saving in our pumping bill would pay interest on our investment.
