Progressive Policy.

Mr.. Barrett insists that fixed and
definite policy should be formulated by
the city for meeting and surmounting
the water problems as they arise. His
recommendations. as outlined, are in
tended chiefly as means OF meeting
immediate eXigences, but he points out
that the consumption Of water is increas-
ing steadily In the city and will increase
as the city grows. Plans for water
should be made proportionate with the
future prospects of the city and for this
purpose a progressive policy will be cs-
sential. he says
AS good beginning, IL is suggested
that the city go about the purchase OF
all available water rights at once. 1t is
suggested that the Jordan & Salt Lake
canal. which has been allowed TO de-
preciate and fall Into a state OF diapida-
tion. be brought up TO standard so that
IT may carry safely all the water owned
by the city and on which the city's cx-
change Of Cottonwood and Parley's cam
yon water depends. The canal carries
but one-half the water the city really
owns in Jordan river. according to the
report. In this connection It Is urged
that the canal be enlarged to hold the
city's entire rights and that steps be
taken TO cnGender power IN the mountain
streams TO be used 10 pumping the ex-
change waters from this canal, not only
for exchange for the better water from
the mountains. but also for the purpose
OF supplying a secondary system within
the city for fire. sewer flushing and
street sprinlIlng purposes.
