THE HYDRAULIC CANAL COMPANY.
As has been elsewhere pointed out in
this point, the so called Hydraulic canal
company, desiring 10 obtain control OF
what they considered a valuable water
waters OF the Jordan river, represented to
the county court in August. ISS5, that they
were about 20 construct canal for certain
purposes set out in their petition, which
appear in full in our reference TO county
affairs Nothing was ever done so far as
we have been able 70 ascertain in re
spect 20 the construction OF that canal ex-
cept to get estimates OF the probable cost
OF the work That being ascertained, it
was found that 10 purchase machinery and
construct the canal, would cost more than
the projectors were able TO paw, and the
whole business was abandoned. Some Of
the parties in interest who had located
desert lands along the line Of the pro
posed canal. sought out and purchased
other water rights 20 enable them TO prove
up on the lands so located Others unable
70 procure or purchase water for such pur-
pose, abandoned their locations charging
up their first payment Of twenty-five cents
per acre 70 profit and loss.
This was the condition Of affairs in
August, lSsS-three years after the first
petition was filed in the county court by
the Hydraulic cOmpauy-wheu said com
pany hled their second petition in that
court, setting forth in substance the fact
that they had never organized the com
pany, had abandoned the project, and re
quested the court 70 deed the water to Salt
Lake city.
Following this comes a report Of a com
mlttee Of the city council. recommending
the purchase by the city Of the Oue-sixth
interest Of the Hydraulic company in the
Jordan river, granted by the county
70 that company, and the cost Of
That purchase is stated to be the
sum Of Sg,6y5.4, and Is submitted in
the form Of a detailed bill Of costs. &C
companying the committees report TO the
council, made up Of items Of expense in
CURED by the projectors Of the Hydraulic
N hos Of
