Head of Utility District Tell? Why Money Voted Cannot Be Diverted. (Continued from Page 13.) Ity board today, and Inasmuch as I feel aome confusion may result, due to the many and varied ei-preswlon on the part of lie manv who participated In the conference, I am 'writing- this letter in order that I may he clearly on record to my purpose In rrakii'p this visit and what I had hoped to accomplish thereby. "We discussed today only thr question of the development of hydro-electric enerpy by the utility district In conjunction it the domestic water development In connection with the -Mokelumne water project, whkh you are ow proceeding to develop for the use of this community. "The other points at Issue between us, namely the question of the quality of the water which will be supplied to the community with the Dana reservoir used for rare purposes, and the Important matter of a Brevity flow system for the transmission of the water to our distributing reservoirs, were not dwelt upon at length. Bu: of the three questions, I consider the development of hydro-electric energy to be of the greatest importance.

WOULD WAVE STORAGE. "It has been stated by those associated with the utility board, that the attitude of the manufacturers' water committee will greatly impede the progress of your work, if It does not in fact, endanger the whole project. This Is not our purpose, and if we can prevail upon you to consider favorably the question which we consider of greatest economic value to our community, namely that of the de-velODment of hydro electric enerev In conjunction with the development of the domestic water sup-ly. In the interests of harmony and the success of the Mokelumne water project, the matter of a gravity flow and storage of the water In Lancha Plana might be waived in so far as the first unit is concerned. "It was in the hope that a harmonious arrangement might be arrived at that I was prompted to participate in the conference today, which conference, as you know, was not of my own seeking, but was suggested by other interests present at the conference Tuesday (yesterday "I feel that a conditional arrangement can be entered into with the owners of the properties In the upper Mokelumne watershed, which, as I understand it, are the only properties which will make it possible for the utility district in the future to develop hydro electric energy In conjunction with the domestic water supply, whereby the board can protect itself against the possible loss of these properties and at the same time do nothing that will interfere in any way with the matter of secur ing water rlgnts to me juoKejumne river from tne state waier commission.

"I believe it will be possible to enter Into a conditional contract with the owners of these properties, even without naming a pacific price, except by protecting ourselves against any increase over the present option price; but providing that if the water commission grants the application of the district for water in the Mokelumne river, thatnhe board- shall the properties at a price later to be agreed upon, and if an agree ment la not reached that the board may proceed with the acquisition of the properties through process of condemnation, arbitration or appraisal.

Savage states.

Their latest separation was November 24 last. During the past ten years his wife has constantly annoyed and harassed him. Savage says, and told her she no longer loved him.

"Certainly It appears clear to me that if the state water commission gives 'uu a permit to take water Irom the Mokelumne river under such conditions as will force you to supply large quantities of water to the irrigationists and you have not these reservoir sites available for its storage, you will then be compelled to develop Arroyo Seco and its low elevation will make it im-i might be subject to rightful criti clsm.
