Show ! WHAT MR. WEST ACTUALLY SAID OVER HIS SIGNATURE PUBLISHED PUB-LISHED IN THE STANDARD AU-I AU-I GUST 24, 1910: j "I have been advised that considerable consid-erable water has been developed lu the new sower across tho Ogden -that can be advantageously exchanged for water In the- upper Ogden. Also by the expenditure of a little means a , considerable flow can be had In Cold ' Water canyon where a portion of the ' btream Is lost Iu passing over a por lion ot lis channel. "There are always to bo found in many of our upper canyous copious springs whose waters are soon lost in tho many fissures that cross their courses. In fact, the grand old mountains moun-tains are full of water and they bhould be :uade to give up If It can be done at reasonable expense. Above the fruit land belt sur-I sur-I rounding Brlgham City numerous tun-i tun-i nels have been driven Into the moun-; moun-; taius aud considerable water tbusob-1 tbusob-1 talned. Wells have also been sunk on uplandij and an abundant supply thus encountered that by the use of a little electric motor and pump supply large areas of fruit land below. be-low. I call to mind one well that fills a four Inch pipe in this way at a cost of twenty four dollars per month and the supply so far bus never been exhausted. "While therefore our water supply 1 U limited, and in many respects tin certain during seasons of scarcity wheu it Is the moat needed, I am confident con-fident It cm bo greatly enlarged by h judicious expenditure of means In tho direction indicated. Were this done, no citizen having tho interest of Ogden at heart would fail to vote the necessary bonds for Its utilization. utiliza-tion. Let this e xpcrlmentatlon be undertaken and. I R-n confident tho result would do more for the bond ls-j ls-j sue than anything else that could bo said or done. "JOSEPH . WEST." |
