TmKTV-SEVENTll HlKNNIAIi REPORT 57 



superintendent's house, of very substantial construetion jiiid on account 

 of the extreme cold wcatluM- was well iiisiil;it('(|. Tlir house was fully 

 ecjuipped with hojitiii^' and liuliliiif; facilif ifs and coidaiiicd an offico and 

 parajio. In addition to this house a four-room (',()tla<;c of similar con- 

 struction was erected and the oripinal structures renovated and improved. 



The lower unit contains a modern 80 trough hatchery supplied with 

 water fi'om a nearby sjirinji' where a concrete dam was constructed, a com- 

 l)Iete spaAvninji' house and a four-room residence similar 1o the houses on 

 the upper unit. In addition to these buildiufis a small }jrara{?e was con- 

 structed housin<>- also the electric plant for this unit. 



Each unit of this project had its own sewa<ie disposal systems, electric 

 jjlants, and fuel storaji'e. This latter was a butane system, a new innova- 

 tion for the commission's hatchery plants and is used for heating and 

 cooking for all houses, fuel for operation of the many engines necessary 

 for refrigeration, pumping and electric lighting plants. 



In addition to the buildings the grounds were entireh' fenced, roads 

 were constructed and the grounds generally improved. 



It is interesting to note that in spite of the substantial rise in labor 

 and material costs savings were effected over the original estimates which 

 permitted additions such as a four-room cottage, concrete spawning tanks, 

 renovating of the existing buildings, increasing pressure range of storage 

 tanks, graveling of the ponds, additional surfacing and oiling of roads, 

 purchase of furniture, a tractor, and miscellaneous items without requir- 

 ing any additional funds. 



When the replacement of fish screens commenced tools and equip- 

 ment were purchased from funds set aside for that construction. All 

 this equipment has been used on all of the foregoing construction without 

 any charge. 



There was some other incidental and minor construction carried on 

 and that together with the work as briefly set out in the foregoing totals 

 about $225,000 for the biennial period.
