OF THE WATERSHED
Weather Director VIII Co
operate With City Engi-
neering Department.

By arrangements made yesterday be
tween the city engineer and A. IL.
Thiessen, United States weather direct
or here, Salt Lake City will have a
more complete and thorough survey of
its watershed this year than ever be-
fore
The weather bureau has offered to
cooperate with the engineering depart
ment and has agreed to make a snow
survey Of the City creek watershed.
The city makes an annual survey of
the Cottonwood shed and has had to
rely on the deduction from this sur
vey in estimating its water supply for
the season, With two surveys, one at
each end of the range from which the
city draws its supply, much more
accurate and dependable estimate can
be made.
The weather director also proposes
to establish rain and snow gauges in
City creek and Big Cottonwood so that
the precipitation the year round can
be ascertained accurately.
Sylvester O. Cannon, city engineer,
believes that with the aid of the wealth
er bureau the city will be able to gather
information of inestimable value.
