This amount was insuJfl. <br />lent to bring the water level up to zero gauge height. <br /> <br />The heavy rains of May 29, washed out one of the large <br />drops on the Comanche Canal. The drop Is one of a set oj 3, each <br />of which lowers the :anal level a vertical distancEi' of 20 feet. <br />Concrete was run between the legs and around the base. <br />Approximately 2500 cubic yards of dirt was required to fill the <br />cavity caused bY the flood water. <br /> <br />The Kicking Bird and Satanla Canals were cleaned Jor a <br />total of 42 mUes.
