CITY WON'T MEET
WATER CO.'S PRICE
Spring Valley Will Have to
Accept Much Less Than
Sum First Offered
Tlie city will not pay $35.500.000 for
thf* Spring Valley Water works and It
will not consent to the company's with
drawing 2.300 acres of valuable land
around Merced. At least 1,000
ai'res. including the lakes, are required,
but certain other properties, including
the old Market street reservoir site and
the Pearsville lake, are not required.
These are the terms settled upon by
the board of supervisors at an execu
tive session held with Mayor Rolph,
City Attorney Long, City Engineer
and other officials yes
terday. Mr. Rolph announced after the
session that the price which the city
will agree to pay must he considerably
less than the $38,600,000 named by
Spring Valley in its last offer, but that
no definite figure had been determined
upon.
Aβ a result of the conference, -which
terminated a series of meetings re
cently held, the city** advisory water
committee is prepared to reopen nego
tiations with Spring Valley represent
atives and to present an ultimatum.
Rolph stated that he would arrange the
meeting with the water company as
soon as possible, probably today or
tomorrow.
At the beginning of the reoent nego
tiations the city offered Spring Valley
$38,500,000 for all its properties. In
answer the water company agreed to
accept the price, provided 2,300 acres
surrounding Lake Merced were ex
empted from the deal. This would have
left a narrow strip of approximately
ISO acres around the lakes, which com
prise 370 acres.
It was agreed at yesterday's confer
ence that at least 1,000 acres, Including
the lakes, should be had by the city to
safeguard the supply. The advisory
water committee therefore was author
ized to ask Spring Valley what it will
accept under the above conditions, and
with the further understanding that
the city does not want the triangular
lot at the junction of Market street and
Duboce avenue, once the site of a reser
voir. Another portion of the property
jTor which the city has no use Is the
Searsville lake land, comprising 971
s.cres.
The supervisors decided that this
lake, supplying Stanford university, Is
not needed for the city's supply. With
the nbove properties subtracted from
the deal the advisory committee will
insist that the price be materially be
low $08,500,000.

from active service with troops, the
record of detached service has been
supplied the aforesaid "Manchu ,, with
his order—sometimes to his own sur

and one day's leave perhaps, long since
gone from memory, wan duly recorded
in the dreadful sum, total which spelled
all too frequently a sad reversal of the
comfortable sta-te. of affairs. Now it
will be made even more difficult.
An order was issued yesterday from
headquarters, western division, which
reads as follows:
"Hereafter any officer of the line
below the grade of major serving in
this division in making application for
any duty that will detach him from the
organization in which he is com
missioned will state the amount of de
tached service he has had during the
six years preceding the date of the
application, reference in this connec
tion being had to the act of congress
approved August 24, 1912, and to opin
ions of the judge advocate general of
the army as published in general or
ders No. 44, war department, 1912."
Any officer desirous of making a
change will have to find his old diaries,
look over the stubs of his checkbooks,
consult his feminine relations, search
files of orders, and go In thoroughly
for retrospection of tn* most exact and

LINDBLOM SUES OLD
FRIEND FOR A DEBT
J Mllllonafre Alaskan Say* That a Loa*
I» a Loan and a Gift Iβ
a Gift
"I am a millionaire, but when I lend
i money to a man I want it back. When
' I give it to him I expect it returned. -,
'So Eric O. Lindblom, partner of Jafet
! Lindeberg in Alaskan mining opera-
I tion*,', told Justice of the Peace A. T.
Rarnptt yesterday while testifying in
his suit to recover $200 from Richard
Dybergh of Oakland, a boyhood chum.
; The court thereupon gave judgment
I against Dybergh in the amount of the
! note and interest dating from January
i .",, 1907.
The testimony showed that Dybergh
; had borrowed the money from Lindblom
lin order to send his daughter Britta
Ito a seminary. When the note f<*il due
I Lindblom demanded payment. Dybergh
i told him that he had no money, but
that his daughter ought to return the
j money, as It had been used in behalf
, of her education.
Lindblom failed to obtain the money
! from Miss Dybergh and suit followed.
j Judge Barnett sought to b>ve Lindblom
forego his attempt to collect the money
lin view of the boyhood associations of
the men, but the plaintiff declared that
a loan was a loan, a gift a gift, and
