Coronado Water Rate Raise Proposal and Ranch Land Sale
Coronado residents may face higher water rates as California Water & Telephone Company seeks a rate increase to near 1944 levels. The firm plans to formally request the State Public Utilities Commission soon and notes a decline in gross revenue. Separately, a telegraph from Silver Strand Hog ranch co owner Bert Fisher informs Coronado voters a parcel east of the railway could be bought for 175000, while voters previously rejected full site purchase at 206000. Other council actions included traffic ordinance repeal, VFW carnival approval, and a Boy Scouts pool use request.
