30 SPIRIT LEVELING. [bull. 185. 
WASHINGTON AND SARATOGA COUNTIES. 
SCHUYLERVILLE QUADRANGLE. 
The elevations published in the following list are based on an 
aluminum tablet, set in stone of pilaster at left side of the front 
entrance of the high school building at Fort Edward, N. Y., and 
marked "145 A." This bench mark was touched upon by the Deep 
Waterways Commission — wye and water leveling between the grist- 
mill bench mark near Albany and permanent bench mark; "p" of 
their precise line at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Hogansburg, via 
Lake Champlain; and the elevation is derived by the adjustment of 
this line to the corrected elevations of these bench marks as determined 
by the latest adjustment of the United States Coast and Geodetic 
Survey, in 1900, and published in report of that bureau for 1898-99, 
Appendix No. 8, and is accepted as 144.386 feet above mean sea level. 
The leveling was originally based upon bench marks established by 
the Hudson River and Lake Champlain Canal, and as a result the 
markings are generally 1 foot too high. 
The leveling was executed under the general direction of Mr. W. H. 
Lovell, topographer, by Mr. Clark Brown, levelman, in 1898. 
All bench marks are referred to the Gristmill bench mark near 
Albany and are stamped by the letter "A" in addition to their figures 
of elevation.
