Experts Stearns. Freeman and Schuy-
Ter, the three members of the board Of
experts who are examining the Owens
river district for the city, yesterday
visited the San Fernando valley, ac-
companied by Water Superintendent
Mulholland and Assistant Engineer
Lippincott.
In order to get a clirsory and swift
view of the source of the present Los
Angeles water supply the engineers left
early in an automobile and came back
as soon as possible in order to get
ready for the more arduous work in
the Owens river valley, for which a
start will be made today.
Because of the great amount of pre-
liminary work done by Messrs. Schuy
Ter, Mulholland and Lippincott the work
of the experts in preparing to recon-
mend plans for Los Angeles future
water supply has been greatly econ
omized. leaving more time to be de-
voted to the problems that confront
the city in connection with the gigan-
tic project.
Special attention will be paid to the
conduit plans in which it is probable
important changes will be made.
Pick Up Chiefs
The experts have had their journey
laid out in up-to-date fashion.
All along the route of the auueduct
the field work has been divided into
sections, each one in charge of a civil
engineer.
few hours after leaving the party
will pick up the engineer in charge Of
the first section. He will accompany
the party to the edge of his district,
when his place will be taken by the
engineer in charge of the next section.
During the trip the engineers will
always be attended by the engineer in
whose district they chance to be.
similar arrangement will be made
for the supplying of camp cooks. On
leaving camp in the morning the
party will take the cook as far as the
next camp.
On several days it is expected that
evening will find the party in one of
the camps which have been established
along the route by the engineers or at
a settlement such as Mohave.
Miles from Cities
There will be nights however, when
they will be miles from the nearest
habitation. Because of the great amount
of data which must be taken there will
be little room for an elaborate camp
outfit. A folding cot for each man is
the greatest luxury permitted.
Tonight the travellers will camp at
Elizabeth lake. Saturday the party will
follow the route Of the aqueduct
through Antelope valley, arriving at
Mohave after dark.
To reach Freeman from Mohave Sun
day will call for an early start and a
late camp, and there will be little time
for stops. On this account minute in
spection of the Red Rock district,
which forms one of the important de-
tails, will be deferred until the return
trip.
At Haiwee Monday
From Freeman the autoists will adj
vance to Haiwee, where a reservoir Is
placed, Monday. and from Haiwee to
Lone Pine Tuesday.
Wednesday night will find the en-
gineers at Independence and another
twenty-four hours will take them to
Long valley, where the aqueduct has
it's north end.
Friday morning, one week from the
time they start, they will begin the
homeward trip. They will reach Inde-
pendence on the return Friday night
At Independence all idea of regu-
lar schedule will be abandoned The
remainder of the trip will be made in a
1eisurely manner and the engineers
