FARMERS WILL CLEAN
SALT RIVER CANALS
To Bid On Contracts for Maintaining 695
Miles of Mains and LateTals;
Fitch Appointed Manager.

Phoenix. ArlZ., Nov. ia sweeping
change in the administration of the Salt
river irrigation project has been an
nOunced by the reclamation service In
stead of the service maintaining from
six to eight camps throughout the val
ley, for the purpose of keeping the
canals and laterals clean, that work
viii be done by contract Bids for the
maintenance of 695.25 miles of canals
and laterals, so miles of which are in
Guided in the main feed canals, will be
opened November %. No bid for main
tanning less than one mile viii be con-
sidered.
It costs the service from $4,000 to
$4,000 a month to keep the canals
clean. Many of the farmers believe that
the work can be done more cheaplv bv
contract, and the experiment is to be
tried.
Charles H. Fitch, formerly project en-
gineer, has been promoted by the re-
clamation commission to the position
of manager of the Salt river project
The position of project manager has
been abolished.
This means that the authority of Mr..
Fitch Is greatly extended. He can act
more on his own initiative and need not
refer everything to supervising engineer
Louis c. Hill.
The change IS made principally for the
reason that business can be expedited
and that engineer Hill can be relieved
of some of his multiudimous duties.
Copies of all communications between
the commission and the local office will
be furnished him, in order that he NAV
be constantly posted.
