In this instance the government charged "for two years the defendant concealed and denied 11 association with the Osborne Company and operated latter as an independent company.

The consideration was $4,500,000. The government charges that the Osborne company for several years thereafter was masqueraded as independent.

Havens, president of the Peoples Water Company, has issued a the letter to the stockholders concerning proposed purchase of the company's holdings for the formation of municipal water district. The letter in part says: and "Meetings petitions have been held recently circulated calling an election in seven municipalities to form a water district for the purpose of acquiring a water plant. In case of one city the signatures of the required 10 per cent of the qualified electors were obtained in one day. This would indicate the move to be astonIshingly popular. "There is but one available water system within 150 miles of Oakland and that is yours.

know of no good business reason why the stockholders should favor a sale to the municipalities. "Values of properties adjacent to the holdings of your company have doubled, and in some instances have quadrupled within a year, due largely to the near completion of the Oakland Antioch railway, other developments and the growth in population of Oakland and vicinity which exceeds that of any other large city in the United States. is "This demonstrated rapid increase in population in the gain in water services which for weeks past has averaged 106 per week. T'he low price for which water has been sold by your company has been a large factor in the growth of thee communities. Betid terments have kept pace with the growth and asset values have therefore greatly increased.

"Lake Chabot has receded but ffteen feet during the present year and gauge now reads sixty-five feet, which is ample for an additional two years without rain. "During the recent visit of Colonel John Bidwell, Spencer Crosby Henry Taylor, army engineers, and John R. Freeman, special engineer of San Francisco, Mr. Dockweller, city expert, and Mayor Mott of Oakland, to Lake Chabot, Mr. Freeman stated that the San Leandro dam could easily and at moderate cost be raised sufficiently to increase its holding capacity from between five and six billion gallons to forty-seven billion galIons, making it one of the largest reservoirs in the world.

"As in ordinary years billions of gallong of water flow through the wasteways of the lake into the bay of San Francisco, this dam, it so improved, would soon hold An amount of water which, with that from neighboring creeks and the artesian supplies of your company, developed and undeveloped, prove ample for a solid city extending from Niles to San Pab1o and from the bay to the adjoining hill tops."
