amply for the needs OF az least double

Willingness 10 use water from the canal
IN lieu of their present supply from
the mountains. and the clty mas taStn
options Tor the exchange. In this man.
nFr OF one-hall the water OF BIG COT
ing by Which II Us expected that praCtlJ-
aliy an the waters of Big Cottonwood
and MN creeks will be acquired by ex-
change and lease. as well me the waters
of Little Cottonwood. as soon as the ne.
cesslles of the city shall require
The terms of exchange are practically
the same as those relating To Pariey'a
creek. cxcept that Nm this Instance, the
city Is TO nay bonus Of $40 per acre
10 the farmers. and give them. during
the irrigation soasou. an additional
quantity of IS Der cent more canal wa.
Ter than il receives of mountain water.
These are the best terms that can now
be made. and they do not seem unjust
when the difference I'm value between
the mountain waters and the waters
from Utah lake Is considered.
II is proposed to acquire such nor
tions OF the waters OF these mountain
streams as are used on lands above
the CIV canal by lease. Tor long term
a very low rental.
