to the river; it passes through the gravel and
under the canal from the wells east and south

across the Miami River, and the water could
be pumped into the Reservoir from the power
located conveniently near, for less money
than would employ capable engineer and
fireman, and il good cool spring water is not
desired the river and canal is as convenient
as at Steers. A hint 10 tho wise is sufficient
