I LAKE LAND OWNERS fE APP1 PROJFC I A step of paramount importance toward! comumatlon of the lake control con-trol unit of the Great Salt Lake Basin project was taken at a meeting In the offices of the Provo Chamber of Commerce Com-merce last week when interested landowners land-owners from Skipper's Bay to Spring- tUle.wtet. MTing.been given data concerning the general ' project, petitioned the Utah county commis sioners; to create the Utah Lake Con trol Drainage district. The petitions asking the county commission to create the Utah Lake Control Drainage district were cir culated among the lake landowners In Lehl. American Fork, Provo and Sprlngvllle and Spanish Fork. The: circulation of the petitions Is tho' first step In the proposed reclamation project of the Utah lake and the stabilising of the level of the lake to a point higher than the so-called compromise com-promise point and seven feet below that point Commissioner A. 0. Smoot presided presid-ed at the meeting. The first speaker speak-er was Judge J. B., Tucker who outlined out-lined the general plan, as set forth by Engineer Green of the reclamation service and State Engineer Caldwell Senator LeRoy Dixon spoke of the interest of the county commissioners In regard to the project during the last ten years, and declared that the preliminary work done during that "period' bad Been' Instrumental In placing plac-ing the proposed lake control on a basis providing of activities, that would result In the long desired realisation reali-sation of reclamation of the thousands of acres of fertile land now unused. ' Chairman James T. Gardner of the board of county commissioners ex-- ex-- pressed himself as enthusiastically pleased with the interest shown at the present time, and stated that the county commission would be only too pleased to act in any way possible to farther the work being done. He spoke briefly of the need of more drainage districts, and in conclusion spoke of the approval given the pro ject by members of the Utah "Water . Storage commission. Commissioner Smoot in a short address ad-dress declared that now was the time to take definite action and organize In order that federal aid may be requested, re-quested, and the rich lands utilised. It Is estimated by government en gineers who have completed the survey sur-vey of the proposed project that more than 22.000 acres will be re claimed along the shores of the lake, 6,000 acres of which will belong to the United States government, being land which for several years have been sub merged in the Provo Bay. Imperative action Is needed at this time as the government fact finding commission will meet shortly in Salt Lake City to consider the various projects pro-jects now- being ad vocated in. the, west. It Is the aim of the workers for reclamation recla-mation here, according to Secretary Ed. 8. Hinckley of the Central Reclamation Recla-mation committee, to be enabled to Interested are enthusiastically desirous desir-ous of federal aid. The farmers are said to be more than willing to go to almost any effort ef-fort to have the reclamation undertaken under-taken so that the lands which have suffered for years from the overflow of Utah lake may again be utilised for food production. Following is an engineer's outline Of the project as effecting north Utah county and information on the section sec-tion effected: Investigation shows that a complete reclamation or lands In the north portion of Utah County can be effect ed by constructing the following canal system; thereby reclaiming about 20 000 acres of land Instead of the 10,000 acres provided for in the Reclamation Service Report. , "CANALS" 1. North Union Canal Extension: By enlarging the Provo Bench Canal and North Union Canal, and extend lng the latter from Its present term inus in Pleasant Grove northwesterly to the Jordan Narrows. The Provo Bench Canal heads at the tall race of the Utah Power and Light Companv near the mouth of Provo Canyon at an elevation of about 60 degrees below the Provo Reservoir Company Canal. 2. 'Lake Bottom Canal Extension. By constructing a canal from Spring Creek near the concrete river bridge northwest of Provo, extending northwesterly parallel to and about 20 feet above the present Lake Bot tom Canal, to a potnt near the Stat Road west of Pleasant Grove: thence westerly to a point north of the pond at the Lehl Sugar Factory; thence continuing westerly to a point on Dry Creek southwest of Lehl. 3. 60 Foot Lift Extension: By ex tending the 0 foot canal of tbe Utah Lake Irrigation Company from Its present terminus on the west side of the'crdan River, easterly across the Jordan River; thence sbu'n?sterly to the creek near Geneva. "IRRIGABLE LANDS" The lands which can be Irrigated by these canals consists of the following fol-lowing tracts: 1. 2500 acres on the benches lying south and west of Alpine, which cin be irrigated by an exchange of the water from -American Fork Rivr with Pleasant Grove City- and - American Fork Irrigation Company; the water thus exchanged to be supplied directly direct-ly from the proposed extension of the North Union Irrigation Company's Canal. 3. 1,000 acres lying below the posed extension of the North Union Irrigation Company's Canal .8. 1.000 -"acres lylg below the present Lehl branch of the Utah Lake Irrigation Company Canal. 4. 6.000 acres lying between the Lake Bottom extension canal as above described, and Utah Lake" and the 60 ft Lift Extension Canal. This tract will be Irrigated through the DroDosed Lake Bottom Extension Canal. S. 4.000 acres of land lying be tween the 60 Foot Lift Extension Canal as above described and Utah Lake. This tract will be Irrigated hv the proposed 60 Foot Life Extension of the Utah Lake Irrigation Company CanaL 6. 3.000 acres lying west or tne FINAL PROGRAM FOR LEADERSHIP LEADER-SHIP WEEK IS ARRANGED With the arrangements;- complete for the general assemblies during Leadership Week - at the " Brlgham a... as- can be discharged Into the lower I Young University, the program w i canals and used as a partial late nnal form is being printed to he ready water supply to irrigate the lands voder vo-der these canals. The return seepage from the upper lands will continue to Increase with Increased use of the early water. - The remainder, of the water from reservoirs on the Provo River and by pumping from Utah Lake. -POWER" Power to operate the Pumping Plant may be supplied from the prolate pro-late water necessary to provide a full late water right will be supplied by posed Power Plant In Diamond Fork Canyon outlined In the Reclamation Service Report. The power developed at this plant will also furnish power for pumping at Moslda and for the Provo Bay area. "PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The slope of the land from the foot of the benches to the Utah Lake aver ares -about 60 feet per mile. Such slope Is Ideal for the efficient and economic drainage of the wet lands which comprise a total of. about 12,000 acres." t " The soil throughout this area Is of great depth and fertility, and Is prac tically free of alkali. These soils are especially adapted for the growing of sugar beets, celery, lettuce, and other. garden truck, alfalfa and all kinds of grain. - - , h- There are at present five principal canals traversing this area and It Is proposed to extend one of these canals snd construct four w ones: the 60 foot lift of the Utah Lake Irrigation Comoanv and the proposed relocation of the Lake Bottom Canal heretofore referred to; also two h'sh line canals near Alpine to carry, the exchange water. The lands through which Ihe pro posed lower canals will extend are "ertilny and uniform In alone., an difficulties of construction, therefore. Ill be mWmte4.
