have expressed themselves favorably
as to the reasonabeness of the canal

its meeting on Monday night, In the

ers In the city will be at an end.
Land and Water Commissioner Fish
| err received letter today from A. i.
Mason his deputy at the Jordan Mar
rows, relative to the action Of the
pumps at the outlet OF the lake since
starting up on Monday morning. He
said that Mondays pumping resulted
In shut down at 6 o'clock on account
of drying up the lake, All days pump
ing the north wind left the bar at the
intake high and dry, and the pump was
sucking mud and gravel only, Tuesday
morning the pump was started again
and continued without a stop. on
Wednesday morning pump No. was
started but only ran 25 minutes and
shut down for fear the demand would
be more than the supply. Both pumps
were started again later IN the day and
are now running constantly.
Mr.. Mason saws that the canal Is full
and If they continue TO use both pumps
the How will increase. Under the pres
ent arrangement the Utah and Salt
Canal company and the East Jordan
Irrigation company are allowing
their proportion Of the water pumped
to flow down to the jordan narrows
power plant so that the mt will have
sufficient water TO furnish power for
operating the pumps. Hence that water
which amounts to about 80 second feet
at che present time Is divided at the
narrows equally between the city canal,
the South Jordan canal and the North
Jordan canal, thereby Increasing the
flow of each canal 26.6 cubic feet per
second. That accounts for the city
canal being so fun and so much of the
water being able to reach the city for
lrrgating purposes.
