The map on tills page shows clearly Just what the city has purchased and what Hhould havo been obtained In. thc BIjt Cottonwood stream. Lower canal, Bin; ditch and Hill ditch are tho ones that attracted the eyes of the city olTlelnls to such an extent that they passed by tho ownors of tho real water rights further up the stream. Lower canal, Big ditch and Hill ditch arc supplied from tho springs a short distance above Lower canaL , Flow Is Insignificant. In thc dry season so Inslprnlflcant a flow of water over gets past tho Green and Walker ditch that the owners, who Fold out to tho city, had their supply of water measured so that the springs water was Included In tho measurement, nnd this measurement Is taken at Hill ditch, not at tho Green and Walker ditch No Water for City. During the dry season tho owners depending de-pending upon Brown and Sanford, Tanner, Tan-ner, Green and Walker ditches, and the Upper canal, will use all the water they can got. They own it, and they nro entitled en-titled to get it without thc city or any othor corporation or person coming In between. When the city tries to tako the water from the stream at tho point marked "Intake," theao owners will go Into court and compel the city to go threo miles down the stream, where their rights commence, or at the springs. One trouble with the city doing this Is that a pumping pump-ing plant will bo necessary, and the other trouble Is that there Is little If any water to be had from these springs at that season sea-son of the year. Passed Primary Rights By. In looking for water rights the administration admin-istration passed the primary rights by. they skipped Butler ditch. Brown and Sanford ditch, Upper canal and Green and Walker ditch where those rights belong. The Intake of tho conduit Is three miles nway from tho point where tho city's rights commence, and up hill at that. This is an example of how the administration adminis-tration Is increasing the water supply of Salt Lake. |
