Show 6148 26 ½ feet. As you will, however, notice, that was a very wide discrepancy in the plottings, due to the scour and fill of the river. The line as drawn is an attempt to average out those conditions and give a so- called mean or approximate relation. By Mr. Farnsworth: Q May I ask a question there? Did you arrive at that from just a general average of all cross- sections of the river, taken at all times at this particular point? A This relation here ( indicating on plate) is the same relation to other measurements that have been used in here ( indicating), and the curve shows the relation between all of the other measurements used in preparing this table ( indicat-ing). Q Well, but is a general average used? A Yes, sir. I would say that this curve ( indicating plate) represents the general average of the depths of the river, as compared to the gage readings. In other words, here ( indicating on plate) are the plotted points upon which that curve is based. By The Special Master: Q Well, Mr. Farnsworth's question is, over what period |
