order to control the break the water
was shut off at the head.
The track of the Holton Iterur-

Perry Tells Irrigation Di-

Secure Flood Protection.

An urgent recommendation that
immediate steps be taken for the

Atremendous veep of the flood waters
sbf the tult@a-22 t Colorado river was
,.Aade to the Irrigation District di-
rectors today by c. N. Perry, chief
engineer.
1--WE now have good levee in all
respects but one, which is the lack
of heighth sufficient to give us ev-
cry assurance of safety said the
engineer. "On a crest Of 81 800 feet
this year it lacked but % feet of
reachingSthe high water of 1917,
when peyk discharge CT $4,000 was
reached.
THE floor of the outlet of the lake
has raised approximately one and a
feet. The levee must be raised. 1t
is something we must not dodge and
cannot shirk." \
S. The yardage involved in this huge
gtask is so great that the engineer
Recommends that work be commenced
at once, and urges that actual con-
2strution should be started not later
than September l.
The men and equipment Of the Rob
ert Shearer Company have been
turned off as there remains o9lv the
track work and surfacing to be done.
The engineer finds the condition of
the levee better than at any time
in recent years and reports that the
prevalent seepage and consequent
sloughing off on the land side was
practically nil. Only one minor point
where seepage occurs has been found.
The reasons for the betterment OF
conditions, he decl.res, are the in
creasing of the widln of the crown of
the levee and the qualitv of the soil
used from the Tortuoso borrow-pit.
Supt. Cronholm of the river divi-
sion made known some interesting
facts in his regular report to the
board. He says that it is practically
impossible to keep the material
dredged out in the point between
Hanlon heading and lockwood Gate
despite the fact that two dredgGs
are in constant operation, working
under three shifts, and a daily scour
ing. The difficulty is the raising of
that portion Of the canal five feet
higher than the average found below
the heading.
In the past fortnight success has
been registered in lowering the bod
by one foot, principally due to the
opening of the gate at Hanlon thus
forming a drop of nearly two foot
and causing water velocity suffi-
cent to scour out some of the ma
teral.
Supt. Cronholm informed the board
that TIE District was in such good
shape in it's supply cf rock that all
quarring operations had been stopped.
He estimates 473, $50 feet, enough for
any emergency. of rock is on hand.

CHEATING isn't usually regarded as

seriously consider the matter.
City Officer Slaughter wants to

sounds to be perfectly logical and
feasible scheme for doing it.
To reduce the temperature during
the late afternoon and evening hours,
thus guaranteeing everyone comfort
able sleep, he suggests thar at a
given hour each evening or afternoon
everyone should sprinkle their yards,
sidewalk and streets for about half
a hour.

before the council for sanction and
maybe will do so.
What gave me the idea and as

is the fact that whenever you are in

irIigating is seldom done"
