  the 
  temporary 
  works 
  for 
  a 
  capacity 
  of 
  2,000,000 
  gallons 
  per 
  day 
  

   was 
  estimated 
  at 
  $150,000, 
  which 
  is 
  somewhat 
  less 
  than 
  the 
  esti- 
  

   mate 
  made 
  for 
  the 
  Bushnell's 
  basin 
  project. 
  For 
  delivering 
  an 
  

   average 
  of 
  2,000,000 
  gallons 
  per 
  day, 
  the 
  operating 
  expenses 
  

   would 
  have 
  amounted 
  to 
  f 
  18,000 
  per 
  year. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  analyses 
  of 
  Lake 
  Ontario 
  water 
  were 
  made 
  in 
  

   1902-03. 
  (1) 
  was 
  taken 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  one-half 
  miles 
  out 
  from 
  

   Manitou 
  Beach 
  and 
  the 
  analysis 
  made 
  by 
  Fred 
  R. 
  Eilinger 
  ; 
  

   (2) 
  was 
  taken 
  a 
  few 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  water, 
  about 
  one 
  

   mile 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  Genesee 
  river 
  and 
  about 
  2000 
  feet 
  

   out; 
  (3) 
  was 
  taken 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  Genesee 
  river, 
  2000 
  feet 
  

   out 
  from 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  pier. 
  The 
  chemist 
  making 
  the 
  two 
  latter 
  

   analyses 
  is

  The 
  Erie 
  canal. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  suggested 
  that 
  a 
  temporary 
  sup- 
  

   ply 
  be 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  Erie 
  canal 
  at 
  either 
  the 
  eastern 
  or 
  the 
  

   western 
  wide 
  waters. 
  The 
  possibility 
  of 
  a 
  failure 
  of 
  the 
  canal 
  

   banks 
  and 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  the 
  water 
  is 
  entirely 
  withdrawn 
  from 
  

   the 
  prism 
  every 
  winter 
  or 
  spring 
  for 
  some 
  weeks 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  

   of 
  making 
  repairs 
  interfered 
  greatly 
  with 
  the 
  usefulness 
  of 
  this
