Barring emergencies, work on the
pipe line will be completed for The
season within two weeks. The force
of men at work have replaced 600
feet of the old broken tile with 49,
inch spiral wound Oregon fir. About
three-quarters of mile Of the pipe
has been rebanded and at the Conroy
place the right angle boxes have been
removed. The total loss Of water in
the reservoirs during the three times
it has been necessary to cut it off
has not exceeded sixteen inches and
this has been -regained by careful
management. At the present time the
carrying capacity of the pipe line Is
The best in its history. OF course
the danger due to location on the
hillside near the Cash place still exists.
1t is the plan of the commissioners
to change this portion of the line,
distance of about two miles, within
| year or two.
