  If 
  Schroon 
  river 
  water 
  is 
  taken 
  into 
  conduit 
  just 
  above 
  mouth, 
  

   of 
  stream, 
  the 
  sewage 
  of 
  Warrensburg 
  village 
  and 
  the 
  manufac- 
  

   turing 
  establishments 
  would 
  be 
  properly 
  carried 
  in 
  a 
  close 
  conduit 
  

   or 
  pipe 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  below 
  the 
  diversion 
  weir. 
  The 
  estimates 
  for 
  

   sanitary 
  protection 
  include 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  the 
  necessary 
  special 
  

   constructions 
  for 
  this 
  purpose. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  considerable 
  summer 
  population 
  about 
  Schroon, 
  Brant, 
  

   Paradox 
  and 
  other 
  lakes 
  of 
  Schroon 
  area, 
  and 
  the 
  estimates 
  for 
  

   sanitary 
  protection 
  further 
  include 
  cost 
  of 
  properly 
  caring 
  for 
  

   waste 
  products 
  at 
  hotels, 
  cottages, 
  etc. 
  

  

  The 
  following

  the 
  main

  to

  Geological 
  Survey's

  the

   appreciated. 
  

  

  In 
  order 
  to 
  insure 
  thorough 
  control 
  of 
  the 
  margins, 
  it 
  is 
  sug- 
  

   gested 
  that 
  an 
  area 
  of 
  50 
  square 
  miles 
  should 
  be 
  taken. 
  The 
  

   estimate 
  includes 
  such 
  taking. 
  

  

  The
