Show 6026 471 Seitz - D 4029 assumed that -- I applied a correction of one foot to all readings for a certain distance, and then dropped it to prob-ably 8/ 10ths. So you see a day or two days I got back to my old footing. By Mr. Blackmar: Q Well, assuming that the rise continued for several days thereafter, how would you take care of that difference? A I had no way of determining how far -- or what ef-fect that rise would have on the river below where I wa work-ing. I had to use my best judgment, by noticing that debris was being carried down the stream, and other indications. Q Well, from time to time do you correct your data in order that it may be all tied to one survey? A Yes. Q And isthat in accordance with approved engineering? A Well, at that time there was not much information on that particular subject. We had just started that work. By The Special Master: Q Do you mean you had just started the work on this particular river, or on river surveys in general? A On river surveys in general. The season before was my first on rivers. By Mr. Blackmar: Q Have you worked on rivers since then? A Yes. |
