F.\nOffice of Inspector of Dykes,\nLands and Works Department,\nVictoria, B.C., December 31st, 1907\nJ. Fulton, E.G.,\nChief Commissioner of Lauds and Works,\nVictm-ia, B. C. ;\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit herewith the following report relative to the maintenance and management of the Chilliwhack, Matsqui, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and Pitt\nMeadows Dyking Districts for the period extending from October 1st, 1906, to September\n30th, 1907.\nOn account of the heavy snow fall last winter and the continuance of cool weather until\nlate in the spring, fears were entertained by the land-owners in the Dyked Districts of an\nunusually high freshet in the Fraser River this year. But owing to the fact that the different\ndistricts comprising the watershed of the Fraser were not subjected to the effect of hot\nweather at the same time, a condition necessary to cause an excessive flood, the snow went off\ngradually, and although the water in the river was maintained at a high stage for a longer\nperiod than usual, it did not rise beyond the ordinary high-water mark, as may be seen by\nreference to the following comparative statement showing the maximum freshet heights of the\nFraser River for the eight years, from 1900 to 1907 inclusive, as observed at Chilliwhack,\nMatsqui and Pitt River :\u2014\nYear,\n1900\n1901\n1902\t\n(\nISO.1.\t\n 1\n1904\t\n1905\t\n1906 \/\n1907\t\nI\nChilliwhack.\nDate.\nJune\n27.\n2.\nJune 2}\nJuly 5\/\nJune 18.\n9.\n\u201e 11.\n9.\n13.\nJuly\nJune\nH.

This work could best be done under a local\nimprovement system by which each of the land-owners benefited would contribute proportionately towards the cost of the work. Chilliwhack District has already taken steps in that\ndirection, and some of the other districts are contemplating taking similar action.\nUnder existing conditions a considerable area in the dyked districts is unproductive, for\nthe want of drainage facilities, and yields no return for the money paid out to cover dyking\nassessments; whereas, if a proper! j organised system of drainage were carried out the lands\naffected would be in a position to yield a revenue which would pay off the cost of the necessary\nimprovements in one or two years and thereafter afford profitable returns.\nRespectfully submitted,\nE.
