report adds. Thu old wells can be hold
in reserve for use In emergency.
Capacity 100000 oallens.
The engineer estimates that well,
such as described. sunk in gravel fifty
feet deep, containing as much water
as Is found near the present wells, will
furnish 100000 gallons per twenty
four hours. This estimate Is made as
suming that the location Of the we'll Is
so far from the present wells that thay
will not draw water from the Same
field. II sunk close to the present wells
Maury estimates that the COMBINED
capacity of one large well and the pres
ent wells might not, be more than
$4,000 gallons per twenty-four hours
II 1900 feet distant from the present
wells he estimates the capacity OF one
large well and the Old wells to be from
100000 to 100000 gallons per TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Estimates Cost $4,000.
The cost of the first we'll, as de-
scribed by Maury, Is estimated at s2S.-
900, the cost depending somewhat on
the distance Of the we'll from the
pumping station.
According to the engineer only one
OF the three test wells bored west OF
the Center street road shows sufficient
depth Of gravel This test was made
within $50 feet of the present wells.
He estimates the present maximum
capacity Of the wells as they now are
to be about 100000 gallons per TWEEN
ty-four hours, but with the known
source of supply he is of the opinion
that there Is no question but that a
sufficient supply for the city for many
years can be developed.
Reports of the tests to be made will
be supplied the engineer at once, when
more specific recommendations as to
type and construction of well will be
prepared.

AS result of his visit more test

east across Center street and much
nearer the pumping station. Several
OF these borings will be made to de-

Recommends Large Well.
IN his report, filed with the council,
the engineer recommended that the
city sink one large well as soon as
possible and follow It with others as
they are needed On this point the
report says
TT 10 recommended tha1 just as soon
as possible large well, especially de-
signed, be sunk at the most advan-
tageous point and equipped with cen
trifugAl pump driven by direct con
nected electric motor. This pump
should discharge into the main leading
TO the 1000. 900 gallon reservoir.
"The well should be at least nine or
ten feet IN diameter, the lower end
equipped with a strainer built OF metal
30 thick that 1t can not rust away,
and with apertures SO large that they
can never become clogged or OBJ
structed, the area of the strainer being
SO great as to furnish the maximum
quantity Of water with the minimum
velocity OF inflow from the gravel into
the strainer. The well should be COM
pleted and put in service just as soon
as possible"
The report, continues that with one
well finished the city will then be II
position to build another. Two such
wells, located in gravel Of sufficient
depth. viii furnish enough wafer for
the citys needs for many years. the

To SPEND MILLIONS
CURB|NG COLORADO

The report of a special committee
on required protective work in the
Falo Verde valley, in order to guard
the latter against overflow OF back
waters of the Colorado river at
flood times, will be made within
few days to the California-Arizona
Colorado River Regulation Commits
sion. Immediately thereafter arrange
rnents probably will be made to send
delegation to Washington to appeal
Tor federal help in the protection OF
more than 100000 acres of rich land,
as a part of the program for in
creasing the food production of the
United States.
It is proposed that, through pri-
vste subscriptions by the property
owners of the Palo Verde valley, an
amount will be contributed equal to
that provided by the government.
The protective work will cost approxi-
mately $1,OO0,0OO.
The report soon to be completed
will cover two phases-the value OF
the valley lands for producing crops,
but their uncertainty at present be-
cause of the flood menace each year;
and the engineering features involved
in the proposed protective work. NO
complicated engineering problems are
involved in the project.
The Palo Verde valley has proven
it's worth as producer of long staple
cotton and prolific forage crops, and
thousands of acres of it's richest lands
can be utilized if protected from the
rivers back waters in flood times
The present protection is simply tenn
porary.
The commission is composed OF
representatives of Riverside, Impe-
rial, San Diego, Los Angeles and Or
ange counties. T. E. Gibbon is chair
man. Other members include G. e.
Arnold and A. T. Warrington, Riv-
crside; ]. B. Lippincott, Stoddard

Time TO RED CROSS
(BY United Press)

ings throughout the United States, will
rake the United States effective. IN

at is singularly in keeping with the
s.tupendous things which the Red
