Under head of Communications, a
letter was read from Mr.. A. B..
Stevenson of the o. S. l.. Ry Co. in
answer to letter from this Co. UNI
der date of March 10th, relative to
obstruction of the Canal by the Idaho
Northern bridge near Emmett, in
which he stated that the matter had
been looked into by the engineering
department, and that they had report
ed that the current was but little
changed from the fact of the bents
obstructing channel by reason of not
being parallel with same. Also claimet
that the piling did not obstruct the
flow of water. Under these conditions,
and inasmuch as the bridge had been
in its present condition for number
of years, and as changing same would
probably entail cessation of traffic,
and considerable expense to his Gem
pany, he asked that the Company re-
consider its request for the removal
of the piles.
The secretary was instructed to
answer Mr.. Stevenson to the effect
that they did not claim less water
for those below the bridge, but that
the piling changed the flow toward
the left hand bank, and that parties
owning adjacent ground on that bank
were claiming damage, and that the
Company had already had to rebuild
a portion of the bank ON that side
on account of the diversion of the
current caused by the piles, and fur
Their that the piling caught and held
trash floating in the Canal, and was
likely to cause a break in the bank.
A letter was read from Mr.. M. ].
DeGraw stating that If the Company
would issue him six shares of stock
he would enter into contract giving
them the right to run sand and water |
On to his land below the Noble Ditch
