sion Of Canon. after installing the

Canon with water 90 that the r,v-
enue TO the town proper would be
greater. It appears that the irriga-
sion men made some restrictions in
this regard and this was ono Of the
prime causes for rejection. Canon
wanted = reservoir built that would
hold l6. 600. 600 gallons of water and
the one offered to them would hold
about 10. 900. 900 gallons and this was
another Of the principal objections.
The original offer was to convey the
water both BY open ditch and csst
iron pipa. Canon wants the water
carried in cast iron pipes oil the way
from tho Eight Mile district to the
town Of Canon. The board Of alder.
men wanted to have the water works
