point above Cameron the earliest possible time Any new wood
pipeline will leak prousey under pressure when the is first
turned in to t. II is the swelling of the wood when soaked with
water that will tighten everybody knows who is familiar
with woodppe Hence found many leaks this time along the
county road between here and Helper This the
critics that the line defective Then to further help the theory
of the largest floods recorded the Price river and
it washed the line out at two of TIE river crossings The work OF
concreng crossings the line would
have been damaged then 1t impossible practically to get at
put at these places in the the winter and freezing weather
this work But this not disastrous thing and represent
ed only mere re in comparison to the entire line which stood
and steel bridge just completed Willow Creek by the
state road went out AT another time Helper lost eight hundred
feet Of its line along the river Was Price Cty line supposed to be
considered so?
Investigated Reports Amount to Nothing
We hear reports that the leaks from the line Cotton
great numerous that great bodies OF ice have formed
along the state road and made almost impossible Farley head
water superintendent Immediately went to investigate He
freezing weather will appear to be an immense affair
water freeing collects day after day and the entire amount
rsor nm was pnJeaen t determine If any errors
had been made connection with this pipeline and determine the
strength and foundations of criticisms meeting call
ed citizens invited be
and given chance to enter their complaints that the
could be thoroughly investigated There but citizen prom
was let Also Of the design Of the line and the of laying
the pipe Mr. Kmber expert ppeayer with eighteen
perence in this work on some oil the most particular JOBS IN the
United States employed supervisor this work by the contrac
Wood Pipe company at the meeting He asked to
ply to the criticism regarding the laying Of the pipe He denounced
liar ppeayng methods and clear explanation Of
ppeayng and 30 which the critic made reply The
with courtesy and the and council
DESTROYS anybody bring out the actual facts but he asked
he line examined It. At this he had
that he had not The of the investigation revealed
the fact that care attention honest work had been put
design of the line than citizens
parently had been led 20 believe had been done.
The pipeline extending from Cotton Springs to Price Is TWEEN
four and half miles long having been constructed installed
through toughest and rugged Utah In
looking the ground after the first preliminary survey had
been Engineer Lyman remarked that every foot of It Is
problem There Of four surveys made and every
problem carefully worked by the engineers before the na
selection Of the route In designing the line the amount OF water
10 be conducted through the capacity that the line was TO nave
first determined From measurements made o. the water
available consideration Of the future needs OF the city as wen as
70 supply along the route that would be benefited along
consideration o the funds that the city cld raise for t WORK
the capacity decided upon three eubeet per second line
pipeline cannot be laid slope hydraulic grade me
from the springs 10 Price but different slopes and nydrau
lie grade lines due 90 the topography OF the country
For each slope hydraulic grade line there Is certain size pipe
that will be neither large involving unnecessary cost nor too
small thereby cutting down the capacity The determination OF
the different of pipe and their respective lengths care
fully accurately worked and computed 10 meet these
qumens For instance az the end the country has very
small slope and for about five miles necessary 10 use 10
inch laid slope of wowo feet thousand feet while
further the found greater sleeper slopes eq
ing twelve by and in few places eghnch pipe 10 carry the
required pipeline grade said 70 be
laid the hydraulic gradene, will have practically no pressure
