Clayson, president; William S. Storrs board member; W. J. Chadwick, ' improvements Editor Citizen: In my communication two weeks ago attention was called to the fact that for the past fifty years there has been more or less a shortage of wat. er during the months of July, August and September, and that the prosper!, j ty and growth of our community de mand that steps be taken to secure an additional late water supply. The impression has gotten out that American Fork is not a favored! farming section. It is not the case that our deficient late water supply has materially limited our production, and consequently retarded our progress pro-gress and growth. . . We point with pride to our splendid splen-did mercantile establishments, and our up.to-date. banks and our civic It is not a fact, how- 7t-iTytlmarejr'that the 'cost!f water to users in the northend . of Utah county will be $45.00 per acre toot for the reservoir nd 13.00 per acre foot for ditches, etc. to convey the water, making a total of $58.00 In all, to be paid to 40 yearly Installments Install-ments without Interest, or $1.45 per acre foot a year... . ' , . .. ... "July 1st of each year, Lehl takes one-thfrd of the water coming from American Fork canyon, materially reducing the American Forkjtream. It has been estimated that 'during the' latter part of the ordinary Irrigatlou season, American Fork district does not draw more than about 15 second feet of water. Now the writer's plan la for the American Fork Irrigation Company to subscribe for 2400 acre feet of water to be drawn during the months of July, August and Septem ber, This would supply 15 second feet of -water for a period of eighty days from July 1st to September 20th at which time the Iehl water comes back to American Fork. This would parctically double American Fork's later...water supply. , at, a cost ot $3480 per year. . We have in American Ameri-can Fork district Irrigation company approximately 600 primary shares, w)ilch would mean an annual cost of 70 cents per acre share. It is pre. aimed that the lower land may not want to participate fn this water, allowing that 1500 acres of lower land would not care to participate, then the cost to the upper lands would, be $1.00 per share a year. This would cover the cost of reservoir and necessary ditches. Of course there would be some additional charges for maintenance, but under proper management, this need not be ex. Jcesslve. . Phen -we measure the benefits to be derived from' this water by its cost, there can be no question but that the Government's offer Is a most 1 liberal one. To the lot owner, would it be worth $1.00 per year additional to you to have your gardens fresh and green during the latter part of the season rather than dried up? To the land owner, would not the addi. fional alfalfa or other crop you might be able to grow with the increased late water supply, compensate you many times over for the additional cost the sudden death of Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Eliza-beth Hawkins Clayson; wife ot Ell j.
