WATER-POWERS OF ALABAMA, 



5. IU(i SANDY 



This station, which was established by J. R. Hall, August 

 2, K)OO, is located about 4^/2 miles southwest of Dadeville, at 

 the highway bridge i n the Dadeville-Susanna road. The 

 gage, which is graduated to feet and tenths, is 16 feet high, 

 and is fastened vertically to the first pier on the north side of 

 the creek. The initial point of sounding is at the gage rod. 

 The section is good for ordinary or flood measurements, but 

 is rather wide and shoaly for low-water measurements. The 

 latter can, however, be made a short distance from the gage. 

 The observer is T. H. Finch, Dadeville, Alabama. During 

 1900 the following measurements were made by James R. 

 Hall: 



July 6 Gage height, 1.20 feet; discharge, 260 second-feet.
