<br />,. <br /> <br /> <br />Paria. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: !vIr. Davis, the nevi stilling well, so-called, <br /> <br />you don't moan it is above the present Lee's Forry? <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: The present gauging station. <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: The present gauging station, but the one <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />they are constructing as a stilling well,-- <br /> <br />MR. A. P. DAVIS: Yes, that is bolow the present Ferry, <br /> <br />but it is above the mouth of the Paria, but I have no doubt <br /> <br />that that was selected largely on account of its accessibility. <br /> <br />. <br />It is right by the road, by the Ferry and near the buildings. <br /> <br />There are two things possibly concerning this, if the Commis- <br /> <br />sion desires to include the Paria with the upper basin. It <br /> <br />certainly is feasible to moasure the ,river below that and the <br /> <br />small amount of the cost of a new gauging station is negligible <br /> <br />in comparison with the importance of the question you are con- <br /> <br />sidering, and if my opinion in that respect should be erroneous, <br /> <br />as it might be, it is still possible; to include the Paria by a <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />separate gauging station, as suggested by Mr. Carpenter, and <br />the desirability, from a physical standpoint, of including, if <br /> <br />" , <br />a division is to be made into two casins, the Paria belongs in <br /> <br />the upper basin, and being so easy to put it there, thatseGIns <br /> <br />the logical thing to do, to hold the poini of division where <br /> <br />suggested by Mr. Carpenter by eithet method, both of which I <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />think are feasible. <br /> <br />'The next tributary of importance below there is tue Little <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />, <br />Colorado, which gets its water from the lower basin and can be <br /> <br />13th - S.F. <br />10 <br /> <br />104 <br /> <br />104 <br />
