THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



ROHIBIT SEWAGE IRRIGATION. 

 The sanitary districts at North Passa- 

 dena and Lamanda Park, Cal.. have been 

 regularly organized, and members of both 

 sanitary boards elected. An ordinance 

 has been passed making it a misdemeanor 

 for any person, firm or corporation to use 

 sewage in irrigating strawberries, celery, 

 lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, or onions. 

 The ordinance will go into effect immedi- 

 ately. Its violation shall lay a person lia- 

 ble to a fine of from 20 to $300, or to an 

 imprisonment of from 20 to 100 days, or 

 both. The ordinance is passed at the 

 special instance of people in and about 

 Florence, who propose to see it enforced 

 in that section. A similar ordinance is 



now in consideration by the city, although 

 it proposes to go farther and prohibit the 

 sale of sewerage-irrigated vegetables. 



MEXICAN WATER GRANT. 



The Mexican government recently grant- 

 ed a concession to Santiago Sanches, au- 

 thorizing him to utilize the waters of the 

 Rio Grande to irrigate a large tract of land 

 in Xueva Leon. 



The landowners on the Texas side of 

 the river are much disturbed over drain- 

 ing it. and the matter will be laid before 

 the Water Boundary Commission for set- 

 tlement. 



It is claimed that the Mexican govern- 

 ment has no authority for granting the 

 concession for use of the waters of an in- 

 ternational stream.
