Army Engi- neers, with instructions from State Engineer W. F. McClure to work with Mr. Stanley on his work of de- fining the by-pass proposed in plan of flood control adopted by the State Legislature, Chapter 25, 1911. " This indicates that it was Mr. M<-- Clure's understanding at that time that the definite location of by-passes had not been made, and that the Army en- gineers were conducting a survey for that purpose.
I reached Mr. Stanley at Butte City on June 2d, and found that he was checking up elevations of existing levees to find how much work had been done since the Debris Commis- sion report had been made, and that he intended later to make surveys in the Yolo Basin for tiie location of the Yolo by-pass.
I assisted Mr. Stanley in his work, covering the Sacramento River from Butte City to the lower end of Grand Island, reaching that point on June 18th.
An Opinion l!:is*l on Observation.
From a study of the Debris Com- mission report and of the river dur- ing this trip, I formed the opinion at that time that it would be unsafe to attempt to confine all the waters of the Sacramento River to the river overflow channel from Chico Creek to the proposed Moulton weir location, and that probably the Butte by-pass should run further around the Buttes, making the Buttes act as one levee as far as possible, and extend up pretty well towards Chico Creek, and that the by-passes of all the basins in general should be located as nearly as possible on a uniform grade be- tween the fixed elevations at the head and the outlet of each basin.
