  The 
  total

  the 
  upper 
  Hudson, 
  with 
  the 
  

   system

  With 
  one 
  large 
  reservoir 
  in 
  Schroon 
  valley, 
  the 
  total 
  catch- 
  

   ment 
  area 
  is 
  increased 
  to 
  1206 
  square 
  miles. 
  

  

  The 
  system 
  of 
  small 
  reservoirs 
  outlined 
  in 
  the 
  foregoing 
  is 
  

   estimated 
  to 
  store 
  15,330,000,000 
  cubic 
  feet, 
  at 
  a 
  cost 
  of 
  $1,172,- 
  

   500; 
  hence, 
  the 
  cost 
  per 
  million 
  cubic 
  feet 
  stored 
  becomes 
  $76.48. 
  

   These 
  figures, 
  however, 
  do 
  not 
  take 
  into 
  account 
  the 
  actual 
  cost 
  

   of 
  maintenance 
  and 
  operation, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  placed 
  at 
  $30,000 
  

   per 
  year 
  and 
  capitalized 
  at 
  5 
  per 
  cent, 
  is 
  equivalent 
  to 
  a 
  perma- 
  

   nent 
  investment 
  of 
  $600,000. 
  Adding 
  $600,000 
  to 
  $1,172,500 
  

   gives 
  a 
  total 
  permanent 
  investment 
  of 
  $1,772,500.
