cate the importance of studying large reservoir projects in detail 

 before deciding as to their feasibility. 



In connection with the barge canal surveys of 1900, a reservoir 

 was surveyed on this stream near Hinckley, with a capacity of 

 2,742,100,000 cubic feet. This reservoir was estimated to cost 

 11,855,000, or $676.40 per million cubic feet of water stored. It 

 is evident, therefore, that the preceding estimate was under, 

 rather than above, the cost. The hight of the dam to store 

 2,742,400,000 cubic feet is 90 feet above the rock foundation. 



Sauquoit creek. This stream rises in Oneida county and flows 

 in a northerly direction, emptying into the Mohawk river at 

 Whitestown. Its headwaters lie aft an elevation of about 1200 

 feet above tidewater.

 power development on this stream, as shown by the following
