Mr• 1. F. MeClure, ~tate Engineer, BUILDIT'NG. BONDS OF SubjeQts- CARDIFF IRRIGATION DISTRICT. . Dear Sirs:.. Pursuant to your instruations I have viaited the above named district, egamined the visible water supply, and studied report and plans submitted by the district engineer, Mr.J. F. Cnvert. The plans contemplate the a.cqufsition of a tract of valley Iand through which the c•hannel of Esconditio Qreek rneanders, and which 81ppest►sntolhold a considerable bod of ' y percolsting water from tMe stream; to sink Ne118 in this land and install pumps to raise the Rater Eo~th6z:sur,P$eem; to pipe the water by gravity to a point rna near the distrlet, and to pump it thence to a reaervoir at the highest point of the district Prom which it Aill be distribuited in nipes. The district owns a small plant from Rhich it abtains domestf.e trater. The district has developed a partial supply as follors: 3 wells have been bored, - ? wells were tested, furnished "70 gallons per min- titQ, 5 Re11s estimated to f~zrnish 400 gallons per mfnutr 400 g.p.m. continuous pumpin a l~7g,000 gallons in ?4 hours, or 44 miners inches (4." head~. 36 $•p•me are being Purnished the district from ? Ae21s near < Encinitas, which the district owns, total 48 miners inehes. Assumi°ng a duty of I acre foat ayear,-this nould serve M96 aeres. , _ . , _ _ . . . . . . . j . ~ . . . . . ~ ' . . ' . . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . ~y ~ ~ . ~ . The district contains 700 acrss. If 90f,or 630 acres,takes Rater ~ at one tir~e or~ the _ same Basis it would have enough to allow 10f fB~ losses. This office , some;time a~o sugg~sted that the district ought to ~ have a reservoir in ~hich to store surplus ~ater to carry it over any time of drouth when the under~round supply might be depleted. The en~ineer reports that a site for storing 17'~0 acre feet has been found but fails to describe its losation or estir~ate:~its cost The estia~ated cost^of the ~orks, as planned is ~9!~,7~9. or say, '~7'6,Cq0, not including the storage reservoir. A bond issue to produce that amount would have to be about $84,000. or ~1P,0 an acre. ~ ~ , , This~sppears to the writer to ~e too ~reat a burden ±o rlace u~.. on the dis~rict at this time, an opf~h~o~t ~hich is concurred in by tissistant State Engineer, S. W. Curtis. Attention i~ called to t~e item in t~e estimate of ~30,000 for ~rater rights and ~vater bearing lends. The writer suggests that effort be made to ~ease the lands and wa~ .ter rights for a term of years pith tY~e r~.ght to purchase. If thi s could be done by the payment of ~a, (!~►0 or ~10, 000 .it ~ould cut t~e requisite bond issue down to ~95 or ~p0 an acre, which is probably as much as Rould find favor witY~ the bond commission. In this connection, it~may be stated th8t there appears to be some ~ gro~nds for fear that ~,f the ground ~aaters are depended upon for ~ the `f1~11 development af the df strict ~hen the maxir.~um draft uoon the wells is maintained during a dry season the water table ~ill ~ be dra~n down so lo~v as to admit salt w~ter. But if the district can be developed ~fth the supply no~~apparently available, it Rill then have values enougM to r~arrartt the acquisition oP an addition~ supply by storage,as Rell as the purehase.of the water bearin~ lands. • CO,~,ICLUSIQNS T~e conclusions drawn Prom personal examination of the district and the study of data flirnis~ed by the distrfct en~;ineer are as follows: That the dist'rict has an area of about 700 acres; That the d~strict is susceptible oP a high degree o2' develop.. ~ ment ur~der irrf~ation; That the present supp2y of water is suPficient for the develo~.. ment of or~e-half to two..thirds of the di~tr3et; ~ - That suah quantity Nill be sv.fficient for the requirements of the . - distr3et Por several year~; That the estimated aost oP works, includi ~ater rights and w~ter bearing lands, will be ~'T6,000, ~vhi~, Rith probable bond diseount will amount to ~84,000, or ~12,0 an acre; That it appears that additional and suPPic°ient wster ~'o.~ the en- tire district is available,for the district at additfo~l cost; That if arrangements ean be made to lease the Aater rfghts and ~ ~iater bearfng lands for a term of years ~rith the privilege of bmying, the initial cost of the works map be reduced to about ~~0 or ~8"~ an acre.

I t appears from the report of the State Engf neer,Mr. W. F. bdeClurQ snd the report of the Engineer of the CardifP Irrigation Dist- rict, J.
