4 I spent the day in the office compiling the History of Jan 1850
Except a short time I spent in the Presidents Office The Jordon
Irrigation Company spent 3 Hours in meeting in the Evening of the
third ie last night. President Young wanted the water for machi-
nery that was not wanted for irrigation we made, (as the board
of directors) 2 propositions to President Young which I laid
before him to day the first was to sell the surplus water to him
for $5000 with 10 per cent interest for 10 yeasrs and the company
would keptep the dam in repair, the $10000 dolloars to be paid
at the End of 10 years unless sooner needed for repairs
and at the End of 10 years or Even after Presid[en]t Young should
be to one half of the Expens of keeping the dam in repair
the other Proposition was to let the President have 3/4 of all the
surplus water for nothing & he run his risk about the dam
and water. I visited the Theater 145 long 810 feet wide
