SANTA ANA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1906 SHERWOOD'S APPROVAL Text of His Report Upon the Yorba Reservoir Site In July, 1902, G. W. Sherwood made the following report to the water board upon the Yorba reservoir site. He was at that time, and had been for some months previously, acting as engineer of the company, in addition to being a member of the board of directors. It was thought work upon the reservoir would shortly begin. Sherwood looked forward to being in charge of its construction. His report reads as follows. Anaheim, July 5, 1002. To the Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: Your committee having in charge the further examination of the Yorba reservoir site with reference to its availability for the purpose intended reports as follows: Borings were begun on June 3d and prosecuted continuously until July 2d. The tools were a two-inch and a three-inch ordinary auger, welded on three-quarter inch black pipe. The auger was screwed into the ground with an ordinary pipe wrench for a foot or more, and then withdrawn, and the adhering material removed. In dry sand a little water was poured into the hole to make the material adhere to the auger. This method works very voir site," after the company sufficient data submitted to chase it at a cost of $5000. mittee was one of Sherw schemes to get on speaking the reservoir, which he from its very inception. approved the site in its even going so far as to creasing the height of the d.

The tools were a two-inch and a three-inch ordinary auger, welded on three-quarter inch black pipe. The auger was screwed into the ground with an ordinary pipe wrench for a foot or more, and then withdrawn, and the adhering material removed. In dry sand a little water was poured into the hole to make the material adhere to the auger. This method works very well and rapidly in loam or clay; but considerable difficulty is usually experienced in going through a considerable stratum of sand, as it will neither adhere well to the auger, or stand up unless puddled with clay. These difficulties were partially overcome by driving a piece of casing as fast as the hole was bored, and working inside it. Gravel containing boulders we were usually unable to penetrate except by digging pits. The location and results of the borings are shown in detail on the accompanying cross section. In general, we find that at an average depth of twenty-five feet below the surface, on the proposed dam line, there is a stratum of tough bluish yellow clay about fourteen feet in thickness underlaid with fine sand, which we did not penetrate more than two feet. Borings made in the bottom of the reservoir 400 and 800 feet north of the dam line and at other places would indicate that this stratum of clay is continuous and unbroken in this part of the reservoir site. This stratum of clay is overlaid with strata of loam, sand, clay, and gravel varying in thickness and distribution; gravel being usually found on the top of the hills to a considerable depth. Your committee sees no reason why a safe dam cannot be constructed at this place if a proper foundation is made in the above mentioned stratum of bluish clay. The details of construction, viz.. whether the puddle wall should be built to the top of the dam; how far in the hills on each side it should be constructed; of what materials the dam should be built, and the most economical method of conveying them to the site; and others, are matters which should be referred to a recognized expert in this line of work; and such action will be productive of economy and certain results. An incomplete examination of the places from which the material for building the dam must come was also made, the results of which are shown in detail on the cross-section. An examination was also made to ascertain if the height of the dam could not be increased. There appears to be no reason why the height should not be increased reports as follows: Miss Gunderson, Kraemer and Sherwood asked to be record as voting in the nega- son the chairman declared carried.

An incomplete examination of the places from which the material for building the dam must come was also made, the results of which are shown in detail on the cross-section. An examination was also made to ascertain if the height of the dam could not be increased. There appears to be no reason why the height should not be increased from five to ten feet. The elevation for a short distance on the west side is a little low; but the elevation of the hills at the dam line and on the east side are sufficient. Taking the average area at the 40-foot level at 55 acres an additional ten feet would hold 550 acres feet, which is equivalent, approximately, to 300 miners' inches, 12 hours a day for 90 days; or about one-half the capacity of the reservoir as planned. Your committee is not yet able to report on the resurvey of the outlet ditch, Respectfully submitted; (Signed) JOHN P. ZEYN, G. W. SHERWOOD. The report was written by Sherwood. It is doubtful if the other member of the committee took any interest in the matter whatsoever.

There will be a meeting held at the city hall this (Thursday) evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of discussing the advisability of holding a Fourth of July celebration in this city. At the meeting of the chamber of commerce on Monday evening a committee consisting of Directors Armstrong, McCollum and Callor was appointed to notify leading citizens of the proposed meeting for the purpose of discussing the celebration and arriving at some definite conclusion one way or the other. Anaheim in the past has held Fourth of July celebrations of which she justly feels proud. A rousing celebra- tion can be held this year if the right citizens take hold of the matter. It has been some years since the town has celebrated. Let there be an outpouring of the patriotic citizens tonight with a view of arranging for an observance of the day that will eli Change in Teachers Marrie E.

Mr. Isenberg was the instructor of a large San Francisco Verein at the time of the fire, and his services were only made possible here by that calamity.
