  cate 
  the 
  importance 
  of 
  studying 
  large 
  reservoir 
  projects 
  in 
  detail 
  

   before 
  deciding 
  as 
  to 
  their 
  feasibility. 
  

  

  In 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  barge 
  canal 
  surveys 
  of 
  1900, 
  a 
  reservoir 
  

   was 
  surveyed 
  on 
  this 
  stream 
  near 
  Hinckley, 
  with 
  a 
  capacity 
  of 
  

   2,742,400,000 
  cubic 
  feet. 
  This 
  reservoir 
  was 
  estimated 
  to 
  cost 
  

   11,855,000, 
  or 
  f 
  676.40 
  per 
  million 
  cubic 
  feet 
  of 
  water 
  stored. 
  It 
  

   is 
  evident, 
  therefore, 
  that 
  the 
  preceding 
  estimate 
  was 
  under, 
  

   rather 
  than 
  above, 
  the 
  cost. 
  The 
  hight 
  of 
  the 
  dam 
  to 
  store 
  

   2,742,400,000 
  cubic 
  feet 
  is 
  90 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  rock 
  foundation. 
  

  

  Sauquoit 
  creek. 
  This 
  stream 
  rises 
  in 
  Oneida 
  county 
  and 
  flows 
  

   in 
  a 
  northerly 
  direction, 
  emptying 
  into 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  at 
  

   Whitestown. 
  Its 
  headwaters 
  lie 
  at 
  an 
  elevation 
  of 
  about 
  1200 
  

   feet 
  above 
  tidewater.
