B & W digital scan of LA Aqueduct Concrete Crew lining the curved bottom of Open Canal Section, location south of Lone Pine. Batch Concrete mixers visible on left side of canal. "The average cost per foot of conduit in this division was $ 8.38 for direct charges. The total cost of the completed waterway (from Alabama Gates to Haiwee Resevoir), including administration, roads, bridges, wastegates, all auxiliary charges, was $11.15 per lineal foot. The cost was very low when the difficulties of the work and its remoteness are considered." LA Aqueduct Construction, Final Report, 1916, pg. 173Collection
