KELLOGG'S REPORT ON CONDITION OF DITCHES An Expenditure of $5400 Necessary to Put the System in Thorough Repair Following is the report of Engineer Kellogg on the condition of the ditch system of the Anaheim Union Water company, made at the last meeting of the Board of Directors: GENTLEMEN—Pursuant to instructions, in company with your superintendent, I have inspected the main canals and my report is as follows: FIRST—THE ANAHEIM DITCH. The head gate and first chute are in fair condition, the second chute (the large chute above P. Yorbas') needs some repairs and raising at the upper end, also cleaning out of channel above. The old sluice gate at point of hill needs some repairs. The old chute at road crossing below old B. Yorba house can be used one more year by making some slight repairs. The last over chute situated about 600 feet above first road crossing does not do any good in its present location as the grade is too light from the railroad culvert to the ditch and the herm-ditch immediately fills up with debris. It should be moved to a point near the road crossing on ditch. It will be necessary to see Mr. Basten about this change, but as it does not damage him any more at the latter point there is no reason why it could not be arranged. As it is well known that the long flume across Yorba is a mere shell it is not necessary to say that it is likely to go to pieces at any time and the only thing to do is to make such repairs as seem necessary. The new ditch should be built, as there is a possibility of being left at a critical time without means to convey water to Anaheim. SECOND—THE CAJON CANAL. Beginning at the headgate I have numbered the structures consecutively and located them by stations from my former survey, where their location has not been changed, and in my description will describe them by numbers. No. 1 Headgate—This requires some repairing of the upper wing and new breast gates. It is very important to have these gates made in a substantial manner and they should always be closed down during a storm, other- SECOND—THE CAJON CANAL. Beginning at the headgate I have numbered the structures consecutively and located them by stations from my former survey where their location has not been changed, and in my description will describe them by numbers. No. 1 Headgate—This requires some repairing of the upper wing and new breast gates. It is very important to have these gates made in a substantial manner and they should always be closed down during a storm, otherwise the canal is likely to be badly damaged or washed out. At about 400 feet below the headgate there is 130 feet of cement wall cracked off on the south side. This can be repaired by digging out, backfilling and putting back to place and cementing the cracks. There is 8 feet of the south wall gone just below this point and at 800 feet below the headgate there is 30 feet of the north wall of cement gone. No. 2—Over-chute is in good condition. No. 3—Over-chute at 12.86 is in good condition. The canal bank between No. 2 and 3 is washed out in places and requires repairing. It would be a good plan to put in rock cribs 200 feet apart and about 3 feet deep and 4 feet wide extending from the cement to the willows. No. 4—The old sand gate at station 24.76 is in fair condition but, needs new roller chains; also some filling on south side above the gates. About 25 yards of good dirt from high bank should be hauled in No. 5 over-chute at station 33.78. There is a considerable amount of loose dirt lying along the inside edge of the bank between No. 4 and 5 which should be cleared before the rains begin, otherwise it will wash into the canal. No. 5—Chute is 20 feet wide and 3 feet in length. It has been repaired and is in fair condition, but it should be at least 26 feet wide and the channel below should be made at least one-third wider. For a permanent structure I would recommend a cement bulkhead and wings running out to the high bank on each side (a distance of 106 feet) with a plank chute across the canal. The repairs last year cost more than this structure would cost and the same thing has occurred three times to my knowledge in the last 14 years. No. 6—From chute No. 5 to chute No. 6 the canal is in fair condition and I would not recommend the construction of any sandgate in this section as it will cost more money to construct a sluice way to the river than it will to keep the canal clear, and deepened so as to sluice to the second sand gate already constructed. At station 75 No. 6 is an over-chute and wagon bridge which is in fair condition and will stand another year. No. 7—Is an irrigating gate for Bixby 22 inches wide and should be six inches deeper. No. 8—Is the second sand gate at station No. 39—At station 250.06, discharge gate to Anaheim canal and in rather dilapidated condition. No. 40—At station 251.55, bridge of S.C.R.R. No. 41—At station 268.09, wagon bridge and in good condition. No. 42—At station 277.83, storm gate 5 feet wide with iron rollers. A sluice gate with breast gate to raise the water plane should be constructed at this point similar to sand gate No. 2. No. 43—At station 282.55, old chute should be cleaned out above. No. 44—At station 283.93, storm gate 5 feet wide. A berm ditch should be constructed above this gate on the upper side of the ditch for about 400 feet. The ditch should be run on grade from the water line to the surface of the ground and should be 5 feet wide on the bottom. The condition and requirements of the ditch were described in my report of August 2, 1901. At station 292 there is an old bridge not in use. No. 45—At station 206.02, wagon bridge. No. 46—At station 307.00, over chute—the water channel from this chute runs through the lands of P. Yerba just east of his vineyard and crosses the Anaheim canal in over-chute, therefore there is a right of way for storm water. As it is over 2,000 feet back to storm gate No. 44 and 3,000 feet down the ditch to the next storm gate at flume four, it is necessary to have a relief gate at this point, especially as the canal follows a long flat hill for a considerable distance. I think it can be arranged with Mr. Yerba by agreeing to put in a sufficient number of drops to avoid cutting out a large irregular channel; therefore I recommend that a sluice gate with breast gate, same as recommended for No. 42, be put in at this point, and the wagon bridge built over the same in lieu of No. 45 and 46 as now constructed. No. 47—At station 315.45, over-chute in fair condition. No. 48—At station 334.72, storm gate at flume 4 feet wide, cemented; has iron rollers in good condition. I think there should be two such gates. The bed of the canal is high for 2,000 feet back, and should be cut down below grade, starting two feet below grade at the gate and running on a uniform grade to the grade of canal 2,000 feet above gate. No. 49—At station 336, flume four in good condition, has some moss and grass on sides and bottom in places; this should all be cleared off to avoid the decay of the lumber. No.50—At station 372.22, storm gate just beyond tunnel, cemented, has iron rollers in good condition. Canal should be graded back for 300 feet. No.51—At station 387.22, stone gate, cemented, and has iron rollers. No.52—At station 397.60, wagon bridge above Bernardo Yorba's house. No.53—Over-chute in good condition. No.54—Wagon bridge at Zanjero's house. No.55—At station 410.83, storm gate, cemented, wooden rollers. Old disused bridge 150 feet west of No.55. No.56—At station 423.70, old wooden storm gate; will last this year. No.57—At station 432.41, old wooden gate; will last this year. No.58—At station 446.96, flume 7, in good condition. All moss and grass should be scraped off to preserve the lumber, and the brush should be cleared away from the foundation. No.59—At station 451, wagon bridge. No.60—At station 479, old storm gate closed up. It should be opened up for emergencies at least as it is the only relief between flumes 7 and 8. No.61—At station 500.62, flume 8, in good condition excepting some dirt and grass in bottom; this shall all be compared to the damage done to the it is left in. The cleans on the instage should be a mere baton, and if necessary to open a gate if it sticks she should shove it into the ditch. Your viding a good system or raising device looks like much easier for that on almost all large canals which have gates of this kind they simply boards which the zanjeros knock on bar. In repairs of this character possible without a great deal of make a close estimate of cost, and it is essential on such work as obligated to do, but will furnish animate estimate on the work that is not which I have recommended and which braces the greater part of the cost: No.I Head gate... No. 6 the canal is in fair condition and I would not recommend the construction of any sandgate in this section as it will cost more money to construct a sluice way to the river than it will to keep the canal clear, and deepened so as to sluice to the second sand gate already constructed. At station 75 No. 6 is an over-chute and wagon bridge which is in fair condition and will stand another year. No. 7—Is an irrigating gate for Bixby 22 inches wide and should be six inches deeper. No. 8—Is the second sand gate at station 75 and is in good condition. This gate could be made more efficient by deepening the canal back for a distance of 1200 feet running on a grade from the bottom of the gate to the ditch grade. This gate requires new rollers. No. 9—Is an over-chute at station 78 in fair condition. No. 10—Old storm gate in fair condition. There is an old gate just beyond this gate that should be taken out, and also an over-chute from R.R. dumping into canal. This water should be carried along side of the R.R. to over-chute No. II and the railroad chute dumping into ditch taken out. No. 11—Over-chute at station 91.43. This has been rebuilt and is in good condition. No. 12—At station 99.38 is a storm gate and is in fair condition (rollers on ground ready to put in). No. 13—At station 103.22 storm gate cemented and in good condition (rollers ready to put in). No. 14—Storm gate at station 110.59; cemented bulkhead; has iron rollers. No. 15—Over-chute bulkhead and drop concrete. The channel above the chute needs cleaning out and the earthen wings should be raised. The lower end of the drop is broken off. This should be lowered to a level and a bulkhead put in. No. 16—Storm gate at station 123, concrete bulkhead and one wing, the other wing is of wood and should be taken out and a concrete wing put in. This gate has iron rollers. No. 17—At station 123.30, old wagon bridge at Gypsum station should be repaired. No. 18—Irrigating gate for Mrs. Bixby, in fair condition. No. 19—At station 131.59, bridge of S.C.R.R. across ditch in bad condition. No. 20—At station 140, bridge of S.C.R.R. at upper end of first cut, in fair condition. No. 21—At station 141.65, cemented wooden rollers. Old disused bridge 150 feet west of No. 55. No. 56—At station 423.70, old wooden storm gate; will last this year. No. 57—At station 432.41, old wooden gate; will last this year. No. 58—At station 446.96, flume 7, in good condition. All moss and grass should be scraped off to preserve the lumber, and the brush should be cleared away from the foundation. No. 59—At station 451, wagon bridge. No. 60—At station 479, old storm gate closed up. It should be opened up for emergencies at least as it is the only relief between flumes 7 and 8. No. 61—At station 500.62, flume 8, in good condition excepting some dirt and grass in bottom; this should all be carefully removed. No. 62—At station 522, wagon bridge. No. 63—At station 532, point located for discharge to Yorba reservoir. No. 64—At station 545, old wagon bridge. No. 65—At station 557, over-chute at old flume 9; this chute is too high having been raised one foot by some one, and the water would now run over the bank before it would over the chute; it should be lowered one foot. No. 66—At station 568.16, storm gate at end of big cut, cemented; has double gate 6 feet wide; requires new gates. No. 67—At station 613.76, flume over wash 40 feet long, in fair condition, leaks some water. No. 68—At station 614.16, wagon bridge, new; at station 619.30, old water gate not in use. No. 69—Short fill across arroyo. There used to be a relief gate at this point (all destroyed) as there is quite a wash above this fill. There should be When using baking powder it is always economy to buy the Royal.

At the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon, W. T. Brown of Fullerton, appeared and renewed an offer made by him which had been turned down by the board with a thud some meetings before. He wanted to handle the company’s cement. He offered to furnish it at 7½ cents per barrel above cost. The company now gets it for 5 cents per barrel above cost at the car. Brown said there was nothing in the business for him—that after paying insurance, and the other incidentals, the increased rate of 2¼ cents per barrel would be very near eaten up. His offer meant cheaper cement to the company, he said, when all expenses of handling it by the present method are considered. He asked for the business, not as a means of profit, but that it would give him increased prestige with the railroad company as a shipper, thus giving him better freight rates. He thought he could save money for the company by his scheme. Boss Crowther arose and said there seemed to be a little inconsistency in Brown’s statements—first he said there was nothing in the business for him, and then he said there was. But he (Crowther) was opposed to the scheme in any event. He did not believe any one could handle the company’s business as well as it could itself. Mr. Sherwyn said the objection to Brown’s proposition was that much of the cement would be needed in Anaheim, and therefore the company would have to haul it over from Fullerton instead of having it delivered at the railway tracks here. Mr. Adams said that so far as the present cement work up the ditch was concerned, an agreement had been entered into with the railway company to deliver cement at the scene of work. Crowther said he did not doubt Brown’s integrity in the least, but he objected to him or any other man handling any part of the company’s business. Brown referred again to the fact as claimed by him, that his method would and refuses to close it, or pay for the work of closing it. Secretary notified to inform him that he would be sued for damages if he did not look out, and also that he wouldn’t be furnished any more water until he was good. Mr. Adams said there was a culvert at Brookhurst six inches high which needed fixing. Travelers along the roadway had made objection to it. Crowther said there were many culverts up his way twice that height above the roadway, and no one ever kicked about them. The matter was dropped. Adams said he contemplated leaving for the east shortly, to take up the study of osteopathy. He did not know the exact time of his departure, and might not go until February. However if he went earlier he would tender his resignation as soon as he did so. He did not propose remaining away from Anaheim permanently. He was a dear lover of this community, and hoped to return in two years, and take up his residence and practice his profession here. Mr. Crowther spoke in terms of praise of Adams’ work in the board, and hoped his departure would not occur before his term of office expired. LOWER LIGHT AND WATER FOR SANITARIUM One Cent Per 1000 Gallons, and One Cent Per 1000 Watts, Rate Fixed by City. The City Council was waited upon at its meeting Tuesday evening by a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce who asked for lower rates for light and water to be offered the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which purposes erecting a branch at some point of Southern California. F. G. Athearn acted as spokesman for the delegation, and addressing the board said the Chamber of Commerce asked that it reconsider its action of the previous meeting, when a rate of 5 cents per 1000 gallons and a similar amount per 1000 watts was fixed upon. He asked that the rate be made 1 cent in each case. It was no more than the part of the city to do this. Citizens were going down in their pockets and putting up money to secure the sanitarium for this city, and the council should, he thought, show its good-will toward the project by making these gravel pit be abandoned city to purchase gravel from county until roads are oiled. Mendation adopted. Trustee Schneider reported Southern Pacific company on purchase from six to ten gallons water from city if a pipe be laid from the high school to its station at Loara, 3700 feet. The charge at an average gallons would be $32 per month. Price of pipe was stated by Be $17.40 per 100 feet. On motion of Dickel, the Instructed to notify railway that if it pays for the pipe and ing, water will be furnished of pipe to be taken out in water. Parke-Lacy of Los Angeles asking for an extension of time work of installing the new power-house. The sub-contractor they said, are local men, and been unavoidably delayed in work. The request was denied, and matters at issue between city tractors were referred to the Engineer Lewis of the electric works, feeling that he had a coming, appeared before them and asked information upon their points: (1) An increase in his salary present receives $85 per month thinks his services are worth. He is the best electrical engineer in the employ of city. (2) Relative to rules adopted 1899, for men employed at house. If they were still in wished to have them put into not in force, he wished to be off of the fact. (3) A year ago he called Convention to the fact that many were in poor condition, and been told to run them a little. He had done so up to date complaints were being made street lamps being burned had been working overtime in building transformers, but intending not do so any longer transformers cost $14 a piece charge for rewinding them. He had rewound them at a cost. When he took charge of these were four burned-out trucks in the junk-heap. He had 400 lights, and had not burned transformer. His predecessors had installed a fourth of these lights, and had burned out two trucks. Only already in different structures is the part of which are still here, it indicates the formulating of any new building, and the only thing that can be economically done is to enlarge on one of the present plans, as the last one is most accessible. I would recommend the construction of another unit immediately east of the one already built of the same size or a litterer, and would construct a heavy crib below for the water to fall on, 40 feet wide and case up the sides, build a bulkhead up to the cone floor of the chute. I would use inch timbers for the crib frame fill it with the broken cement that is found there on the ground. I think there is plenty for the purpose. Canal should be cemented across fill, and upper bank made 12 inches deeper, so that no water would pass the same in a very heavy freshet over the flume. 91—At station 763.36, drop, where both leaves surveyed line and runs to reservoir. To complete the canal to the reservation on a direct line to the upper end of the same, will require the construction of a little over 1,000 feet of canal in fill, as shown on the accounting profile. I estimate the amount at 4,393 yards and the cut at 200 miles. Total cost of earth construction is 800. The reservoir is in a very four-ton, grown up with tullies and attached with silt. It is almost impossible to make an estimate of the cleaning. If you can construct canal to upper end and sluice out a part of the silt it probably can be be for $800. Have made an estimate for raising dam of the reservoir up to the bottom of the canal, as shown on accompanying profile; if the surface soil in bottom and the silt were deposited on the back side of the embankment, necessary amount of good material raise the embankment to the height proposed would be 1704 yards. Before material is put on, the top and slope of the bank will have to be dredged and cleared off, and the disgrace pipe will have to be lengthened least 16 feet, after which the sediment and soil above referred to should put on the back side as a reinforcement to the dam. Estimate of cost of clearing dam and lengthening pipe... $100 00 positing sediment soil... $550 00 new material top... $400 00 Total... $1,150 00 foregoing embodies a description of all structures in the main canal which have been practiced uselessly, and if the sluice gates are not opened and properly looked after during each storm, your suit is sure to be filled up. Too much stress cannot be put on this point. The head gates should be closed and all the sluice gates opened before that a gate sticks and can shove it into ditch.

You are proclaiming a good system of raising devices which the might be very effective and will make the work much easier for the zanjero. On almost all large canals where they gates of this kind they simply have flash grids which the zanjeros knock out with a blade without a great deal of work to take close estimate of cost, and I do not obliged to do, but will furnish an approximate estimate on the work that is new work. I have recommended and which employs the greater part of the cost. Beginning at upper end of main canal, the flowing is the estimate of cost: 1 Head gate $75 00 Repair of banks upper 1,400 feet $75 00 Repairing cement work $60 00 4 Sand gate filling $15 00 Cleaning loose dirt between 4 and 5 $25 00 5 Chute reconstruction $45 00 8 Sand gate, No.2 rollers $15 00 Seepening ditch above $80 00 Removing R.E. chute and constructing ditch to chute 11 $30 00 15 Chute repairing drop. $5 00 17 Bridge $5 00 23 New sluice gate $250 00 24 Berm ditch $50 00 46 Construct new sluice gate and bridge $250 00 Drops for relief ditch-Yorba $50 00 Cutting down ditch above gate $75 00 Cutting canal to grade above 48. $150 00 Trading back canal above 50. $25 00 58 Flume 7, cleaning out $15 00 60 Rebuild old sluice gate $50 00 65 Chute, lowering same $15 00 66 Storm gate, new gates $6 00 69 New sluice gate $250 00 73 Construct waste way above all.

Dana between No.91 and reservoir cleaning reservoir raising to 331 feet elevation. $1150 00 Grand total $4,246 00 Respectfully submitted, H. CLAY KELLOGG. Sherwood opposed the work, saying straightening the ditch would not increase the water supply. Repairs to the upper canal would cost $5000, and work on the Anaheim ditch would cost several thousand more. To add $8000 to this was in his opinion placing too great a burden upon the stockholders. Sherwood moved that the Superintendent be instructed to proceed to carry out the work of repairing the upper ditch, as recommended by engineer. Pierotti moved to amend by instructing the Superintendent to begin at the upper end of the ditch and make improvements this way, until next meeting, when further instructions would be given him. Crowther had stepped out, leaving the chair to Steward. He returned in time to vote in favor of Sherwood's motion, under a misapprehension of the circumstances, while he really favored Pierotti's plan. He said: "Let it go. I voted yes by accident, but we will let that pass." A cement ditch of 300 inches capacity, 660 feet in length, petitioned for by W.W. Mickle, was ordered constructed. Mickle does the hauling. The ditch connects with the Sparks ditch. Several intervening property owners refused to haul gravel and cement and do the backfill. The ditch in front of their places will not be cemented. Mr. Bradford was given further time on his water gate. W.J.Hole of La Habra wrote, saying that he had been informed the company's teams had been for some weeks past hauling gravel from Stearns ranchos in section 26-4-10. He asked to be informed by what right the company confiscated his property. Section 26-4-10 proved to be in the neighborhood of Ford's nurseries, on the Santa Ana road. The company never hauled any gravel from this point. Evidence was introduced showing that Santa Ana parties had been doing this thing. The Secretary was instructed to inform Mr.Hole of the facts of the case.
