TO CEMEN!
TWO MILES

A meeting of the shareholders OF
the LeaCunninglam ditch, wlich
runs through the southern part of
the city. was held at the Office of j.
p. White yesterday to consider the
order Of the city council last month
for them to cement two blocks of
taeir ditch between Washington and
Union Avenues. in the west side of
town. The meeting voted unani-
-nously not only to obey the order OF
the council. but TO cement a total of
two miles of this ditch, and to do ii
at once, or as speedily as the big
task can be accomplished. For IL is
the biggest single job of cenenting
that has been proposed in the Val
ley.
Tna cementing ordered by the
council consisted of nine hundred feet
extending west from the point "a
Washington avenue where the pres
ent cenIented section ends. The
shareholders will extend the new
work west to the intake at Spring riv-
er. distance of about a mile. and
will cement east from the present
terminus of the ce.neated section in
tae southeast corner of town. TO the
Barnett place. about mile east of
town
The shareholders of the Lea-Cun-
doing this immense work. First. il is
an actual saving to them worth ma
ny ui-nes the cost: for this ditch will
save two-fifths of the total water
supply taken from North Spring riv-
er. Second, the water saved to the
right-owners will not be allowed to
seep through and sub-irrigate all sur
rounding property. and in this way
an immense public good will be ac-
=
ing would be ordered eventually any
how. SO the shareholders showed
the right spirit and decided to put IN
the Improvement at once.
j. y White, X. s. Woodruff and w.
w. Osse were named a committee to
consult with the city council rela-
tive II certain concessions that will
be asked.
This immense task will cost be-
tween eight and ten thousand dollars,
yet of the dozen shareholders at the
meeting there was not dissenting
voice.
The total flow of the Lea-Cunning
lam ditch is about eight cubic feet
per second. The loss from seepage
and evaporation between Spring river
and he Barnett place has been shown
to be 1-2 feet in the summer time
WREN q full flow is needed most. In
winter the loss is not quite that great.
The less is equal to the flow of two
strong artesian wells.
The owners of the Eureka ditch.
controlled by J. c. Hamilton and j.
T. Stcne. will put in their cementing
in the northwest part of the city be-
tween the present tiled section and
Eighth street as soon as the fall ir-
rigatiop season is over. This work
was ordered by ordinance of the city
council.
