The matter of damage caused by felling trees at Mr. D* Clarkfs property was discussed, at this matter left to the flume committee to adjust. The matter of asking, or accepting, any contribution from the Countess Bubna towards the cost of the work recently done at "D" Lake was disousse, and it was considered that it would not be advisable to accept any contribution which might be used as an argument in any possible conflict of rights between the district and any other parjy. Mr. Read was deputed to discuss this matter with either Mr. Horn or Mr. Norris. The matter of A# P. Clark's application for lease of lands at Beaver Lake was discussed, and the Secretary was instructed to write to the Provincial Health Officer protesting the sanitary conditions existing at Beaver Lakn and Crocked Lake, and asking Sor an investigation by the Local Public Health Officer, Dr.OOtmar with a view to correcting conditions and asking support of Dept. in opposing the granting of any lease on lands at lakes.

Copies of these letters to be sent to the Hon* J. w* Jones. The Secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Howard, of the Trusts and Guarantee Company, intimating that the Trustees were prepared to continue negotiations leading to the taking over of the system, as suggested in Mr. Howard's interview this Spring, but that such negotiations would be quite futile if he still considered that price mentioned at that time (60$ of cost of system) should be considered as a basis of negotiation. o o Trustees, August 14th Qsi (2) O Storage - A full discussion on the matter of further storage. The Trustees agreed that the addition to the Beaver Lake dam would be the most desirable solution, both from an engineering and financial stanpoint, but in view of the apparent impossibility of arriving at any arrangement with the Company which would make this possible this year, it was decided to proceed with the construction of a dam at the outlet of Crooked Lake; This being considered a work which would ultimately be undertaken in any case, and as the old cribbing which had been torn out this season would have to be replaced in any event, it would be advisable to proceed as far as possible this year, The Secretary was instructed to apply for the remainder of the Seven Thousand dollars appropriation from the Conservation Fund, for use in constructing stotage on Crooked Lake, in accordance with plans to be submitted to Mr. de Wolf. Mr. Goldie was deputed to interview Mr. da Wolf and to ask his sanction for the above work. The Secretary was instructed to apply to the Water Comptroller for authority to proceed with dam on Crooked Lake. It was suggested that the Comptroller be apprised of the construction of the flume now being built to supply the Duck Creek users, and also of the fact that a certain amount of water had previously been held in Crooked Lake by the cribbing which had been demolished this year in order to drain water into Beaver Lake. Also that it was proposed to construct works which could be added to later. The Meeting then adjourned.

Present - Messrs. Goldie, McDonald, Seaton and Read, and Secretary. Mr. Marshall, of the Okanagan^Oentre Irrigation Co. was present. In reply to enquiry, Mr. Marshall reiterated the refusal of the Company to consent to any works on the present dam at Beaver Lake. The Trustees suggested to Mr. Marshall the advisability of stopping irrigation immediately, and conserving remaining water for a fall irrigation. Mr. Marshall stated his determination to continue delivery as long as supply lasted, and his opinion that there was sufficient water for another week. The Trustees presented arguments in favor of holding remaining water, without changing Mr. Marshall'e| ideas on the matter. Mr. Marhhall then withdrew.

The Secretary was instructed to issue notices for a public meeting for Friday eveingng, August 21st, to consider this matter. Mr. Seaton undertook to interview Mr. Penfold on the storage luestiom.
