been made that the city officials have
been lax in their duty while some one
else took possession of a water right
for power purposes in Salt creek can
yon that is estimated to be worth from
$1,000 TO $4,000.
When the electric light plant was
first built the rights to the water as
at present used by the city was filed
upon. Later on it was thought advis
able to procure more water rights for
power purposes. On June IS, 1906,
the city made application for the water
from Bradley's canyon to the mouth
of the present canal
The application was approved April
Is, 1907. The conditions were: The
city must commence work on the canal
within six months from date of ap-
prevail of application and the work was
to be completed within two years.
Nothing was done, however, on account
Of the depleted condition of the treas
ury and the time expired April 10,
1909.
Shortly after the time Of expiration.
{. +. Huffman made application for the
water for power purpose.
Mr. huffman is now trying TO raise
enough money to build a power house
and plaster mill TO work the gypsum
