Water power of Hudson river. There is a large amount of 

 power on the Hudson river at Troy, Mechanicville, Stillwater, 

 Northumberland, Fort Miller, Fort Edward, Bakers Falls, Sandy 

 Hill, Glens Falls, Feeder Dam, Spier Falls, Palmers Falls and 

 Hadley; on Sacandaga river at Oonklinville, and on Schroon river 

 at Warrensburg. A canvass of the Hudson river powers was 

 made in 1895 and appears in detail in table No. 12, Showing- 

 Water Power in Use on the Hudson River in 1895, of the Report 

 on Upper Hudson Storage Surveys, December 31, 1895. The detail 

 is too extensive for insertion here, but may be obtained by refer- 

 ence to the said report. 



According to this table, the total power in use on the Hudson 

 river in 1895 was 43,481 net horsepower. This power remains 

 substantially the same in 1904 as in 1895, except that the Hudson 

 River Power & Transmission Company has built a new plant of a 

 stated minimum capacity of 5000 horsepower three miles below 

 Mechanicville. There has also been some increase in the power 

 in use at Bakers Falls, but just how much, the writer is unable to 

 state. The new plant of the Hudson River Water Power Com- 

 pany at Spier Falls has also been built. The total power in use 

 on the Hudson river in 1904 is perhaps 75,000 to 80,000 net horse- 

 power.
