The 1926 production includes 4,167.54 barrels from the one well on our Yorba Reservoir Lease, produced during four months when the well was first opened. This well was closed down and deepened, and the Superintendent's report informs us that it is now producing 450 barrels a day. The amount due from consumers is less this year than ever before. Anaheim irrigators owed 45 cents, Fullerton none, Placentia $43.60, and Yorba Linda $14.15, a total of $58.20. The failure of the walnut crop and some other conditions caused some financial stringency among a good many of our irrigators, and the Board of Directors thought it was not advisable to raise the usual amount by assessments, but rather to allow our indebtedness to increase somewhat. We hope that conditions in 1927 will allow us to continue the policy of the last several years, and reduce our indebtedness as before. We note that the Superintendent's report shows that two sections of the main canal were cemented at a cost of $3.65 and $3.66 per foot. This class of work formerly cost us almost twice as much. The use of a large cement mixer, the keeping of experienced men, the co-ordination of all parts of the work, and the careful supervision have brought about this reduction in cost. We wish also to commend the Secretary and the Superintendent for the splendid accounting system we now have. The Chairman of the Auditing Committee has been on the committee for at least twelve years, and the other members of the committee for more than five years, and we are pleased to say that there has been a gradual improvement during all that time. The committee is able to do the auditing in much less time, owing to the almost unerring accuracy of the work and the gradual improvement of the system. The cost accounting system is exceedingly well arranged. We find that the Superintendence and overhead on construction jobs is carefully apportioned to each job, so as to show its legitimate cost. For example, when the Zanjeros are working (as at the present time) on construction jobs, their salaries are charged to the individual job and not to the costs of water deliveries. This is also a matter of economy to the company, as they would otherwise have very little to do during winter months. We would like to call your attention to the fact that during the three summer months when the demand for water is greatest, two-thirds of our supply comes from our pumping plants. In addition to this a considerable portion of our supply during the rest of the year is pumped water. You can readily see that the lowering of our water levels would be a very serious matter for us, and would jeopardise the value of our orchards. If the water in the Santa Ana River should be cut off so that it would not reach at least to the Olive Bridge, we very much fear that our underground supply would be seriously diminished. Our company has been actively interested in the conservation of water, working through the Water Conservation Association, our President, Mr. H. H. Hale, being on its Board of Directors. Our Secretary has prepared a chart showing the rainfall, the water spread on the debris cones, and the amount of water delivered over our weir. The value of this conservation policy is graphically represented. The heavy rainfall of 1922 was followed by the greatest amount of water spread on the gravel, and during that year and the fourth dry years that we have had since, the amount of water at our headgate has remained just about the same. The undersigned members of the Board of Audit, have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the Company for the year ending December 31, 1926 and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and that the foregoing is a full, true and complete report taken from the books covering the above men...we realized a net rental from our well rig or the original cost of same. Rains—The heavy early rains have been water in the underground reservoir, having 1926, from 133 feet to 128 feet on January 1st they are still rising. Main, Canal—In February, 1926, we lined up the Bryant Ranch, just west of Deep Gate with oz. $3.65 per foot. In December, 1926, was lined 1,400 feet seven and eight at a cost of $5,131.18, or $34. In doing this work on the main canal we dangerous places where the ditch runs over Our sand pump at the head of the ditch shape, and we are at present installing another with which we will pump sand from the reef which was placed on the south side of this protect our plant from the river. Oil Royalties—While our receipts for our solderable gain, this misleading, as a check in 1925 did not reach this office until after our item appears as part of our 1926 receipts. very good news. The well which the Stand on our Yorba Reservoir land is now on the gravity oil, which is $0 per cent clean. A production from this lease, this well alone of $12,000.00 during 1927. The lease with tax for the continuous operation of one string least one more well by the end of 1927. Another item I would call to your attentive waters sales for your account which are larger than those of our pumping plants part of the season and incurs our cleaning account increased $1,023.16. On $1,029.53 less Repairs to Pumping Plant $2,002.51 less Water Distribution $1,699.55. The decrease of $1,636.09 in salaries has been of a steady man on the Oil Lease and by kicking off the present time we have one of the employ house at the oil fields, and he pumps our out Standard Oil Company for the use of this yardman at the pipe yards, does our all our pumping plants and are in first-class condition for the 1927 extra expense to carry them through this year. Some of the larger items of construction in addition to those previously mentioned, and twenty feet of open cement ditch on West line of Allgeyer property, was replaced at a cost of $742.90, one-half of which was Beaty Line—An old open ditch on Old Browning Ranch, now owned by Mr. D...

Some of the larger items of construction in addition to those previously mentioned, and twenty feet of open cement ditch on West line of the Allgeyer property, was replaced at a cost of $742.90 one-half of which was paid by the property owners. Crall Line—An old open ditch on Glen Old Browning Ranch; now owned by Mr.B Concrete line at a cost of $1,005.22 one-half Length of line, 444 feet. Crall Line—The old open ditch on Eagle from the East line of Mrs.Crall's property by a concrete line consisting of 528 feet of two and thirty feet of Northeast corner of the replacement of the old open cement ditch This line is a十四-inch distributing line which takes care of ditch and Mr.Bates' property and eliminates line One-half of this cost is paid by the plumber.Plierotl Line—The old cement ditch along was replaced by a十四-inch concrete line,a diary of $833.98 one-half of which was paid by Mr.B Crowther No.4 Line—Pumping Plant Not nected to the reservoir with a二十四-inch pipe $930.8O. Lemke-Basten-Mathes Line—This line was but will consist of one thousand feet of main line,the Cajon Canal to the Northeast corner of the replacement of the old open cement ditch This line is a十四-inch distributing line which takes care of ditch and Mr.Bates' property and eliminates line One-half of this cost is paid by the plumber.Plierotl Line—The old cement ditch along was replaced by a十四-inch concrete line,a diary of $833.98 one-half of which was paid by Mr.B Crowther No.4 Line—Pumping Plant Not nected to the reservoir with a二十四-inch pipe $93 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT The year of 1926 has been the most satisfactory of any year during my term as Superintendent, for several reasons, the most important of which was the acquisition of the water rights on the Halliday Ranch and the development of approximately seven hundred (760) inches of water thereon (another year's operation on this tract will prove the exact amount). This was accomplished by drilling seven 18-inch wells, five of which were equipped with Byron Jackson Pumps directly connected with General Electric motors. Two of the wells are not equipped at the present time. In addition to the above equipment, a two-unit booster plant and a concrete reservoir one hundred feet square and six feet deep was built on the Company's land, just north of the Richfield Boulevard, on the Cemetery Tract. With this equipment we are now able to deliver an additional seven hundred inches of water in the Placentia District, which will give us sufficient water to properly take care of all stock in this district. The only thing from now on which will hinder so much holders from getting water on call in any of our districts will be the inadequate size of some of our pipe lines. In case of extreme necessity, part or all of this water can be used in the Anaheim or Fullerton districts. The total cost of this water right, together with the reservoir, wells, pipe lines and pumping equipment is $58,408.36, of which amount $26,510.27 was spent in 1925. You will also note by looking at the table of comparative costs of water pumped that with the exception of water pumped at Shore Tract, where we use the old style centrifugal pump, this is the cheapest water we produce. In addition to the water developed on the Halliday Tract, one 20-inch well which was drilled on our Gomber Tract, in 1925, was equipped with a Byron Jackson No. 8 pump and a 300 H. P. General Electric Motor, the latter part of 1926, and upon test showed about 325 inches of water. This installation, exclusive of well, cost $8,544.85. This water will be used in Anaheim. We also drilled a 20-inch well 409 feet deep on the southeast corner of our 40 acres on the corner of Placentia and Orangethorpe Avenues, and equipped this also with a No. 8 Byron Jackson Pump and 300 H. P. General Electric Motor. This plant was pumped very steadily for about six weeks and produced 335 inches of water, which was delivered to the Fullerton-Placentia district. The total cost of this installation was $15,573.93. This new production brings the total amount of water which are able to deliver from our pumps to 3125 inches, showing that we developed in 1926 1435 inches of new water. It might be of interest to some that the last three wells on the Halliday property, together with the 20-inch well on the Placentia Avenue property, were all drilled with our own rig, manned by our regular men, and the plants installed and wired by ourselves. The drilling on these wells cost us about one-half what a contract would have been, and in addition to drilling these wells at rental from our well rig of $1,283.00, or about 25 per cent of same. heavy early rains have been a great benefit in restoring the overground reservoir, having raised the level since November 23, to 128 feet on January 14, 1927, or a total of five feet, and sinking. In February, 1926, we lined 2,360 feet of the main canal on high, just west of Deep Gate siphon, at a total cost of $10,781.70. 1926, was lined 1,400 feet of main canal between siphons at a cost of $5,131.18, or $3.66 per foot. Work on the main canal we are only taking care of the most where the ditch runs over fills. Pump at the head of the ditch is taking care of the sand in fine air at present installing another pump at Pumping Plant No. 1, will pump sand from the river and fill in between the piling bed on the south side of this property, several years ago, to get from the river. While our receipts for oil during the past year show contains is misleading, as a check for a large amount of oil shipped each this office until after closing our books in 1925, hence this part of our 1926 receipts. On the other hand, we have some The well which the Standard Oil Company has been drilling reservoir land is now on the pump and doing 450 barrels of 16 which is 80 per cent clean. As we are getting one-sixth of the this lease, this well alone should produce in the neighborhood being 1927. The lease with the Standard on this property calls us operation of one string of tops, which should give us at well by the end of 1927. I would call to your attention is the fact that while our year amounted to $6,600.00 less than the sale, we keep our operating expenses $8,574.29 below. We show a net gain on the water account of $8,574.29. There are only two items in our operating expense are larger than those of 1925. We operated six additional part of the season and increased our electric bill $5,874.16 and count increased $1,023.16. On the other hand, our repairs were repairs to Pumping Plants $3,366.22 less General Expense Water Distribution $1,699.55 less, and Salaries $1,636.09 less. $1,636.09 in salaries has been made possible by the elimination on the Oil Lease and by keeping the books on the payroll in Company instead of the pipe yard, as was formerly done. At we have one of the employees of an oil company living in the fields, and he pumps our oil from our tanks into the lines of Company for the use of the house. Mr. G. E. Holditch, our pipe yards, does all our gauging. Of the fact that we spent $8,550.15 more in 1926 than 1925 for the S. A. R. D. Co., $34,713.67 in general construction and piping plants, or a total of $57,026.73 in new work, we show an indebtedness of only $15,460.00. Had we assessed the stock count as last year, we would have shown a net gain of $8,600.00. All our pumping plants and equipment have been overhauled class condition for the 1927 season, and should take very little to carry them through this season. Larger items of construction accomplished during the year, most previously mentioned, are as follows: Thirteen hundred of open cement ditch on West La Palma Street, along the South river property, was replaced with a 14-inch concrete pipe line 2.90, one-half of which was paid by the property owners. An old open ditch on Garden Grove Road, on East line of branch, now owned by Mr. Beatty, was replaced with a 24-inch Mother!

One half of which was paid by the property owners.
