And concluding the committee writes: As a result of our investigations your com- mittee is of the opinion that the city of Oak- land should take Into its own hands the supplying of its Inhabitants with water and that the best source of supply -this side of the Slerras is that to be found in the Niles gravel bed. We therefore recommend the construction of an adequate distributing system, the laying of pipe lines to Niles, the purchase from the owners of land on this gravel bed of the right to develop and carry away water for our use and the construction of pumping plants there- on. Proceedings in the eourts should be in- stituted in all cases where the owhers refuse to take falr compensation for thelr property. We do not believe it necessary to purchase the water rights of a large amount of lands on these gravel beds, but experfence will be the best test as to the quantity necessary to_give the city all the water it needs. Your committee, in anticipation of a prob- able rise In the asking prices of land from the law can prevent corruption when both parties are willing. No officer of a city government who is un- der obligation to a public utility corporation for his nomination @nd election, or for any other rcason, is capable of judging fairly be- tween the Interests of a city and its citizens on the one part and those of such corporation on the other. Although the law was framed to prevent op- pression, yet in its construction and execution it has proved a faflure. It has been frultful only of constant conflict between the Interests involved; of costly litization; of corruntion in municipal volitics; of suspicion in the publc mind regarding the Integrity of officlals; of complaints as to the qualty of water and of the inadequacy of service. and, more than all, it has failed of its very purpose to bring about such reasonable rates as are satisfactory to the great body of water consumers.
