TO BE
iletHord, Jan. y. The board or di
rectors of the Md(ord Irrigation dis
trict, after two'days' conference with
the district engineer, VV. C. Ham-
matt, of San Francisco and a careful
study of hla report, announced last
night that th Beaver Creek project
had been selected. '
tn regard to th Heaver Creek pro-
Je-.l Mr. Hamniutt said: "The Reaver
Creek project contemplates building
a dam on Heaver Creek about 70 feet
high making a reservoir capacity of
40.000 scre-feet. From this reservoir
t:i.utor alll be broiiKht In a cunul
to Emigrant Creek aud then dropped
gown the bed of this creek to about
a 2.075 foot level."
"The total cost of construction for
the delivery of water to the boundar
ies of the district and constructlon(of
msjin canals surrounding name would
be' shout It. 200,000, which would
make the cost about $57 per acre
for each acre Irrigated.
'The cost of the distributing sys
tem to deliver the water at high
point of every property tn the district
would be about 118 per acre, making
the total cost of the system com
plete about 975 per acre.
"I wish to particularly emphasize
the point that these are maximum
figures of cost. They may run belov.
these estimates, they can not run
above. Everything has been figured
at the highest probable figure, tooth
ing has been disregarded."
