Aqueduct Expense Cut Nine Million One-Third of Gigantic Project Under Construction and Contracted For Colorado river aqueduct costs already have been cut $9,000,000, with one-third of the project under construction and contracted for, it was revealed in an official statement made by General Manager and Chief Engineer F. R. Waymouth of the metropolitan water district. This huge saving, Waymouth pointed out, is based upon actual unit costs of construction under way as compared with the district's estimated cost for this work as provided for in the aqueduct bond issue. Weymouth also drew attention to the fact that this $9,000,000 cost reduction has been effected after making ample allowances for contingency costs in addition to the district's present unit costs for force account work and the prices on which contracts were awarded. As an example of how this huge saving was effected, General Manager Weymouth revealed that during October 145,000 cubic yards of main tunnel excavation moved "at an average cost of $4.00 per cubic yard, which figure includes labor, superintendence, field overhead, explosives, materials, supplies, miscellaneous expense," and an ample charge for plant and equipment." This four dollar figure, he pointed out, may be compared with a corresponding estimated cost of $5.25 per cubic yard, making a saving of approximately 23 per cent on this work. The average price for tunnel excavation by contract is $6.25. To November 1, 1933, district crew on the Coachella tunnels, one of the many construction units, have excavated all tunnel approach cuts and have finished driving of all adits." Weymouth said. "These features are over 90 per cent completed, and the work has cost in round figures $45,000 less than Surprise Birthday Party Honors Craig Hilbert M.

The average price for tunnel excavation by contract is $6.25. To November 1, 1933, district crews on the Coachella tunnels, one of the many construction units, have excavated all tunnel approach cuts and have finished driving of all adits." Waymouth said."

On all tunnels under contract, satisfactory progress is being made; all are now working underground, and with the passing of the desert summer heat, rapid progress seems assured."

A total of eighty-four miles of tunnel is underway, with approximately 4,000 men on the aqueduct job. Twenty-six miles of this tunnel is being driven by district forces, and 58 miles by 13 contractors.

In Harold Brewer Is Citrus Chairman Succeeds Holmes Bishop in Farm Bureau Department: Value of Windbreaks Stressed Harold Brewer, orange grower of Corra Villa district near Villa Park, was elected chairman of the citrus department of the Orange county farm bureau at a recent special meeting of the department in the farm advisor's office. He successes Holmes Bishop, who has directed the department for two years and who was recently elected vice-president of the farm bureau. In the report of the agricultural extension service to the department it was pointed out that enough eucalyptus seedlings were sold by nurserymen in Orange county this year to plant approximately 45 miles of windbreaks. This is a material addition to the present plantings in the county, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, who is urging more plantings for wind protection in order to improve the quality of fruit grown. The grade of fruit produced this year was considerably lowered because of wind damage last winter. Fruit was bodily whipped and scarred in unprotected orchards. Packing house records show conclusively that fruit from protected orchards brought better returns than fruit from unprotected orchards on the same market. The citrus department and avocado department will cooperate with the agricultural extension service in further growers' tours this season to study the economic value of windbreaks.
