This ditch was constructed in 1871 by settlers who had purchased lands on the Paso de Bartolo Rancho from Pfo Pico. Its title is inherited by prescription and riparian ownership from the rancho, whose proprietors had used the water, although in a very unsystematic way, for years. The diversion from the San Gabriel is by a sand and brush dam, owned and constructed by the Standefer, Banta, and Los Nietos ditches jointly, at about the narrowest part of the pass. The main ditch is over 3 miles long and discharges into San Gabriel River below the Santa Fe Railroad. During the past two or three years the Pallett and Walnut branches and about 2,800 feet of the main ditch have been cemented. The rest is of earth construction. In 1902 the irrigators under this ditch incorporated on a basis of 10 shares per acre, or 13,000 shares in all. The expenses of cleaning and maintenance, zanjero's fees, etc., are met by charges of 10 cents per hour per head for day service and 5 cents per hour for night service. The ditch carries three or four heads of 150 to 200 inches. Charges for new construction, cementing, etc., are met by special assessments.
