Members OF the council, together
with Mayer Lamkin and Water Com
missioner Hosler. made a tour up
Ashland canyon yesterday morning
with a view to investigating the vari-
Gus reservoir sites to be in readiness
against the time when Ashland's
water supply will have to be in
creased. They visited the site To-
Gated on the west fork, as the near
est and most accessible. This, the
council claim, is a splendid location
for a reservoir. II is only about a
mile and half above the reservoir
on the left fork.
The councilmen found also that 1t
will require an immense amount OF
work to erect new reservoirs far
ther up the canyon. Roads will
have to be made, timber cut out and
various preliminary work gone
through before the actual labor of
building the dam is started. The
chances are that the council will
have the lower dam enlarged and
meter the city. This will probably be
done next spring.
Later on a trip will be made to
the east fork site. This is unques-
tionably the mora logical spot for a
reservoir. according to some Of the
councilmen, but is much farther up
the canyon and will be harder to
reach.
