May Abandon Red Rock Reservoir Project Over Cost
Dillon May 20 Special Dispatch to the Standard reports the Red Rock reservoir project may be abandoned after costly canal surveys across rough country. Col Alf Decker and James Glass, aided by Engineer Metlen and Helmick, found 55 miles of sidehill work and extensive flumes for water diversion. The expense exceeds land around the area, but revival on original lines could reduce cost and work extent.
