Under existing conditions it practically requires two parties to cover this riverat an expense of about $5,200 per year, so it can readily be seen how great the savingwould be in dollars and cents if the weirs were established. As was pointed out in my report for 1909, the character of the river bottom isof such a shifting nature that the curves developed on natural sections from oneseasons work are useless for the next seasons work. And it was also pointed outthat the proposed weir would give a better water measurement because it would bringup the water flowing in the sands of the river bottom, which water cannot be measuredwith a current meter.
