  Power 
  Development 
  on

  The 
  Empire 
  State 
  Power 
  Company. 
  In 
  1899 
  the 
  Empire 
  State 
  

   Power 
  Company 
  began 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  an 
  extensive 
  plant 
  

   on 
  Schoharie 
  creek. 
  The 
  original 
  project 
  included 
  the 
  develop- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  power 
  plants 
  at 
  1) 
  Burtonville; 
  2) 
  two 
  miles 
  below 
  

   Burtonville; 
  3) 
  Schoharie 
  falls; 
  4) 
  Mill 
  Point, 
  and 
  5) 
  a 
  short 
  

   distance 
  above 
  Fort 
  Hunter. 
  

  

  Site 
  No. 
  1. 
  The 
  plant 
  at 
  Burtonville, 
  as 
  originally 
  proposed^ 
  

   was 
  to 
  have 
  85 
  feet 
  fall. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  create 
  this 
  power 
  a 
  

   masonry 
  dam 
  47 
  feet 
  high 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  constructed, 
  with 
  a 
  power 
  

   canal 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  leading 
  6000 
  feet 
  down 
  the 
  stream. 
  As 
  

   an 
  alternative 
  proposition, 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  proposed 
  to 
  make 
  this 
  

   development 
  with 
  only 
  a 
  short 
  canal, 
  placing 
  the 
  power 
  station
