COST OF YORBA RESERVOIR Sidellght of Early Irrigation History of Interest at This Time — Capacity of Reservoir Engineer H. C. Kellogg spoke as follows regarding the Yorba reservoir at the annual meeting of stockholders in the water company on Saturday. Being called upon for a statement of the test of the reservoir, its capacity and other details, he addressed the meeting as follows: "It was clearly understood at the time of the consolidation of the Anaheim Water company with the Cajon Canal company in 1884, that what was known as the new Anaheim ditch and the Kraemer reservoir were to be constructed. This reservoir site had been presented to the water company by Mr. Kraemer. The ditch and reservoir had been surveyed and reported upon by two engineers favorably. In 1886 Mr. Teichman and myself relocated the canal with a view of constructing it at once. In making this survey I made a reconnoissance of the Yorba reservoir and we reported it as being a more favorable site than the Kraemer site. Nothing further was done until the irrigation district was formed in 1889. In the preparation of the plans of this district a careful examination of five reservoir sites was made, including the Kraemer site, with the result that the Yorba and La Habra sites were the only ones recommended by the engineers. This opinion was concurred in by engineers Schuyler and Alberger, two eminent engineers who were called in to expert the plans of the district. Although the question of constructing the cost of the structure. A great deal has been made seepage through the dam will submit the following measurements of seepage from Feb. 15. The water was run through three meadows and carefully measured each Jan. 22, seepage 3½ inch clear, depth in reservoir 2 Jan. 23, seepage 4½ inch depth 22 feet. Jan. 24, seepage 3 inches 22 feet. Jan. 25, seepage 3½ inch depth 21 feet. Jan. 26, seepage 2½ inch depth 20 feet. Jan. 27, seepage 2½ inch depth 20 feet. Jan. 28, seepare 3½ inch depth 20 feet. Jan. 29, seepage 2½ inch depth 20 feet.

Feb. 10, seepage 3½ inches Feb. 11, seepage 2½ inches Feb. 12, seepage 2½ inches Feb. 13, seepage 2½ inches Feb. 14, seepage 2½ inches Feb. 15, seepage 2½ inches feet of water. Feb. 26, seepage 1¼ inch feet of water. This is less seepage than to see and the least I have seen a new dam of this height irrigation district was formed in 1889. In the preparation of the plans of this district a careful examination of five reservoir sites was made, including the Kraemer site, with the result that the Yorba and La Habra sites were the only ones recommended by the engineers. This opinion was concurred in by engineers Schuyler and Alberger, two eminent engineers who were called in to expert the plans of the district. Although the question of constructing the Yorba reservoir and connecting ditches was brought up many times in the next fifteen years, opposition developed which prevented anything being done, excepting the purchase of the site, until 1906 when the work which has just been completed was begun. The reason why its weight in assessments bears heavy on you at the present time is, that the entire work which should have been begun 20 years ago (the period of construction covering four or five years,) by reason of its delay comes at once, and at a time when the demand for labor and material far exceeded the supply, making the cost 60 per cent greater than under normal conditions. It was not so much that the price of labor was higher, as its inefficiency. All corporations and large enterprises were short handed, with the result that if you would ask a man to do a fair day's work he quit, and the nature of the work was such that an insufficient force greatly increased the cost. Another thing that increased the cost beyond the original estimate was putting all the dirt possible into the dam by the process of hydraulic sluicing instead of using a tramway at the upper levels. Mr. Mulholland was putting in a similar dam at Los Angeles for the city, using the hydraulic sluicing method. Together with the board of directors we visited the work and were informed that the cost was from 7½ to 8 cents per yard. Therefore the plan we adopted; but we found, and I am certain Mr. Mulholland found as well, that the cost far exceeded this amount, but I am satisfied that we have a much more solid and compact dam by this method. The following is an estimate of cost of the inlet and outlet ditches which is a close approximation. As the work on the ditches was done under the supervision of the superintendent 8 cents per yard. Therefore the plan we adopted; but we found, and I am certain Mr. Mulholland found as well, that the cost far exceeded this amount, but I am satisfied that we have a much more solid and compact dam by this method. The following is an estimate of cost of the inlet and outlet ditches which is a close approximation. As the work on the ditches was done under the supervision of the superintendent I have not the exact figures of the cost: Inlet ditch, 8000 feet long, four feet on the bottom and three feet deep; cost $13,000; capacity 2500 inches. Outlet ditch, two miles long, consisting of the following constructions: 1400 feet, two-foot bottom and two and one-half feet deep; 1192 feet, three-foot bottom and two and one-half feet deep. 2728 feet, 36-inch pipe, 429 feet, four and one-half foot arch; 851 feet of 42-inch pipe: 300 feet of 36-inch re-inforced siphon; 2493 feet of 42-inch pipe and 3300 feet of ditch, two-foot bottom and two feet deep. Cost $19,000; capacity 1500 inches. Cost of reservoir—puddle trench $4562.55; cleaning dam site $539.36; rim dam $662; outlet and inlet pipe $4256.22; levees and slope $12,927.11; sluicing $21,149.16; incidental and supervision $5107.03. Total cost $49,203.43: Capacity of reservoir 51,000,000 cubic feet. After deducting 20 per cent for seepage this will give 470 miners inches 12 hours a day for 100 days, which will tide the company over the most trying portion of the season of shortage. In addition to the value as a storage proportion the additional income to the company in the sale of day water over night water will pay the interest on Great deal has been said about the lake through the dam, therefore I submit the following table of measurements of seepage from Jan. 22 to Feb. 15. The water was all collected in through three measuring boxes carefully measured each day: 22, seepage 3½ inches, weather depth in reservoir 21 feet. 23, seepage 4½ inches; raining, 22 feet. 24, seepage 3 inches, fair, depth 25, seepage 3½ inches, raining, 21 feet. 26, seepage 2½ inches, clear, 20 feet. 27, seepage 2½ inches, clear, 20 feet. 28, seepare 3½ inches, raining, 20 feet. 29, seepage 2½ inches, clear, 30, seepage 3 inches, clear, 31, seepage 3½ inches, clear, 1, seepage 4 inches, clear, depth 2, seepage 4½ inches, clear, 9 feet. 3, seepage 5½ inches, raining, 9 feet. 4, seepage 5½ inches, raining, 9 feet. 5, seepage 6 inches. 6, seepage 5½ inches. 7, seepage 5½ inches, fair, low8, seepage 4½ inches, fair, depth 9, seepage 4½ inches, fair, depth 10, seepage 3½ inches. 11, seepage 2½ inches. 12, seepage 2¼ inches. 13, seepage 2¼ inches. 14, seepage 2⅔ inches. 15, seepage 2⅔ inches, eighteen water. 16, seepage 1¼ inches, sixteen water. Less seepage than I expected and the least I have ever seen on dam of this height when it was uniform, and there is no evidence of any channels of percolation. There would be no occasion for alarm if the seepage was five times this amount. I do not know what these parties expect or what their hypothesis of an earthen dam is. I never saw an earth fill that would not see some water when first filled especially if it is done rapidly; of course there are others that have had more experience. My experience which has been practical, and largely in this section, only extends over a period of 25 years and I have absolutely no apprehension on this question; if the filling of the reservoir is conducted with care there will be no seepages that will injure its stability. The dam was built with water to within two feet of top, and seepage water from inside the dam still appears on the slope above the level of the reservoir, and the seepage formed a contact for the water as it raised and appeared at once on the outer slope, but the small quantity showed there was no percolating channels and by raising and lowering the water the seepage will decrease. I want to say in conclusion, that I know the work was carefully done, and it is a satisfaction to me to see it completed. The criticism of those whose condition of mind make them see in it the elements of failure in no way effect my equilibrium, as I told a friend the other day they can complain all they want to. The dam is built, and as the president of the company says it will stay there if it is not blown out with dynamite. It will speak for itself in the future and justify its promoters, by its value to the stockholders, and prove a great element in the development of the country, Theo.
