PAGE EIGHT ITEII BUREAU TO OPEN BIDS ON NEW WELLS Cost Figurei on Two Shafts in South Section of Basin to Be Received Tomorrow Bids will be opened tonight by the San Bernardino board of water commissioners for two new wells in the southern part of the city. Operation of the 36-inch wells Is proposed under the board's new policy of shifting as much as possible of the city's water supply burden to the lower section of the underlying basin. The wells will be drilled in Lytle Creek park and at a site near the Intersection of Mill and streets. It Is proposed to sink the shafts to a depth of approximately 500 feet. At present, there is no well south of Rlalto avenue.

Jurisdiction of the civil service commission over water department employes has been questioned by President J. Catick of the water board and by Commissioner W.

P. Kowe. One of the points involved was the claim of city administration that a "joker" amendment several years ago stripped the civil service commission of authority over water department employes. SHIFT MEETINGS City Attorney Guthrie was appealed to by the civil service board for interpretation of the "joker" clause. He ruled that the juris Newly-Appointed County Relief Committee Calls First Business Session San Bernardino county's new unemployment relief committee organized last week by the state and county governments will hold Its first session today at 2 p.

The dissenting judges held that Fleming's shooting of Amos Leese was not premeditated, since the killer had met him but a few minutes before the quarrel over re marks to Fleming's sweetheart.
