is not merely an elongated pit filled 

 with water it is an open conduit. It 

 is an engineering structure just as 

 truly as is a railway. Its purpose is 

 to transport water just as it is the 

 purpose of railway to transport mer- 

 chandise. Like a railway, a drainage 

 or an'irrigation ditch must, to do its 

 best work, be permanent and capable 

 of transporting the maximum amount 

 at the minimum cost. To meet this 

 condition engineers have found that a 

 ditch must be true to line and grade, 

 have smooth sides and bottom, and 

 have its banks sloped so as to prevent 

 caving. This is the kind of ditch 

 that the AUSTIN DRAINAGE EXCA- 

 VATOR digs to templet and In one 

 operation.
