The flume selected is of galvanized iron, 13.37 feet in diameter. This size, which it is stated will carry two hundred second-feof water under present conditions, was selected upon information from the Hardesty Manufacturing company of Denver, Colo., makers of the flumes.

In a letter to the land board President Olson urged that immediate action be taken, whether it be for approval or rejection of the plan.
