With the completion of this dam, the

Prior to the construction of the Flor
ence canal such of the lands in the val

by means of numerous small bitches,
which were generally wasteful of water,
expensive in construction and main

subject to injury by slight rises OF water
in the river. Most of those who form

it from the Florence canal.

There are on the Gila, above Florence

bitches, supplying water for 1900 or 1000
