Description

No. 3. Another ditch rider wagon similar to No. 2. Note the narrow wheels. These two wagons were obtained from parties in the Bishop area and converted for use by the Department of Water and Power. Each horse-drawn wagon was used on each side of the aqueduct canal to sluice the canal of moss and debris. A similar wagon was procured for a ditch patrolman located at Cottonwood Gates as he was unable to ride horseback as other patrolmen were.
