Show FI ood Decisions Now Continued from page 4 sserve recreation purposes anc water storage needs, but it could also be a substantial help to flood control. It would probably cost about $3 million, and it is an eventual part of Salt Lake County's overall master plan. The decision that must be reached is the extent to which this resevoir can take the load off of the Jordan, thus reducing the amount of work necessary on this river itself further north. 2. A second decision concerns the tributary streams to the Jordan, such as the Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood and Mill Creeks They must take a certain part of the flood load, but whether they should be lined and made deeper is a topic of hot controversy The aesthetics of these streams would not be enhanced by lining them Another proposal, se forth by the Salt Lake County Planning Commission is to provide wide areas along the streams that could handle flood spillovers. In times other than floods these could be used for parks. Again cost must balance with other objectives. As with the Jordan, water storage and flood control have a connection on the Jordan's feeder streams. Dams have been proposed for Mill Creek, Review Little andBigCottonwood One of them. Little Dell which would take some load off Mill Creek is very close to con- struction. 3. Salt Lake Valley is crossed by five major, privately owned irrigiation canals. MDavid I. Gardner, flex control department engineer, has proposed that they be used to help flood control His idea has met with much opposition, except for temporary use, partly because some Salt Lake county officials do not want to see the county have to bear the responsibility of maintenance and liability for these canals. Mr Gardner claims it's the cheapest way. 4 Because homes and subdivisions take more water absorbing land into water runoff area, building in some parts of the county, notably above Wasatch Boulevard has come to a virtual standstill In a growing suburban area, builders and the public will not long stand for a hold on all This problem construction. will also demand a solution 5 soon. The watershed above the valley, on the east side a good deal of water that would otherwise threaten Salt Lake. If this watershed, owned by the forest service, were to burn is vital since it absorbs off the results would be disastrous The county' has discussed the possibility of a fire break between the homes and the hills. Commissioner John Preston Creer has toyed with the idea of requiring fire retarding materials on roofs of homes close tc the fire danger area. 6 To bring water to the Jordan and its tribuatires a system of drainage lines and pipes will be required. These form the most costly part of the overall plan. Avitalques-tio- n, and one that has caused no end of conflict, is the priority for installing the different pieces of this network The opportunity for political pressure is tremendous, and long range decisions will be needed 7 The big and final question is how fast for how much. A ten million dollar bond issue has been proposed, but the present plan calls for a 2 5 mill levy each year, part of the $1 6 million this levy brings in will go to immediate and emergency work, part toward long range construction and purchase. Eventually by direct election on a bond issue, or by election of county commissioners with stated views on the subject the electorate will have to make its views known on the money question. right-of-w- crQjo&zXXS) &r Zt&SQJXXD Olympus Yesterday a counselor, t day an assistant principal -- Ex-Counsel- Wins Promotion or school Tuesday night at a meeting of the Granite School to fill the vacancy Board created when Lee Gledhill be Mr City, month In the two days that school has been in session in Granite District.
