After discussing the matter quite thor
oughly with DR. Ball. tho director OF tho
station. and with Mayor Gardner. Prcsi-
dent s. l.. Chipman. James III, Clarke and
Representative John o. Wootton. We
have concluded that the requirements of
tho appropriation act cannot be complied
with. and for that reason the appropria-
tion cannot be used.
Professor Mclaughlin, the irrigation
engineer has advised Dr.. Ball that the
water which YOU have proposed To decd
to the state out Of Mitchell Hollow ap-
preparation will not be sufficient to meet
the requirements OF the Appropriation act,
and we ourselves are of the opinion that
this is true,
IL also appears that the appropriation is
not perfect, and that the citizens of
American Fork cannot convey such title
as would be required und<r this act.
We have suggested To the board of
county commissioners OF Utah county that
1t would be the proper thing for them
10 take charge or the fqsGn and Keep alive
the orchards and crops growing thereon
until the next session OF the Legislature.
at which time. II deemed advisable, or II
