The above estimate of $.75 a day per square mile 

 of protection does not include much permanent cor- 

 rective work, and would continue from year to year 

 without lessening greatly, though the educational 

 factor will play an important part after two or three 

 years, when individuals in a community will do con- 

 siderable work of their own accord. 



The following estimate (Table V), based on a thirty 

 square mile area and including all necessary permanent 

 corrective work of ordinary nature, shows conclusively 



1 The greater part of this work was confined to an area of about four 

 square miles, including the City of Oroville, and only about one fifth of the 

 time was spent in inspecting the rural surroundings. 



2 Practically all labor, to the value of approximately $120, paid by city 

 street department and several private companies.
