The water is now running in the
canal and emptying into Big Cotton
wood Creek. The excavation is
completed to Kanyon Greek, and as
soon as the f1ume and chute for the
drop near Casper's are completed
the water will be turned into that
portion between Big Cottonwood
and Kanyon Creeks. The canal
from Kanyon Creek to the city is
completed, except distance of
about 100 rods, through portion of
which the right of way could not be
secured except at price which the
committee, in justice to the Cor
pOratlon, could not pay, and
proceedings to condemn said
land have been commenced in the
Third District Court. Unless some
unforeseen delay occurs. your COM
mlttee cannot now see why the
the water through the canal should
not reach the city and be used for
irrigation purposes by the latter
part OF July. Respectfully,
FERAMORZ LITTLE,
FRANCIS ARMSTRONG.
