during the dry season. Mr.. Ellett's because
it did not conserve the water already in the
river by proper grading and improving of
the channel so that that vast reservoir OF
Meador river, of water preserved from tho
winters rain and snow, might be added to
the low.water discharge of this river, thereby
affording six feet OF water In the channel
throughout the period of low water. These
two plans, properly combined, will form suf-
iciehcy of water to create perfect open rivrr
navigation for the Kanawha. This plan OF
Improvement Of Mr.. Lorraine's involves
open dams extending from each bank of the
river to the channel, leaving sufficient
width and depth for the passage of steam
boats and barges; these open dams to be
placed at such intervals along the stream as
to give grade of two feet to the mile on the
shoals, with fall OF six inches between the
pools, SO as to admit but little resistance to
ascending boats the waterways on these
omen dams to be one hundred and twenty
feet ut top and ninety-f0ur feet at bottom,
with six-and a half feet of depth of water.
The proposed apertures in these open
dams of 120 feet will discharge per second
1850 cubic feet. Deduct the low.water sup.
ply of river per second, 1850 cubic feet
This amount leaves, per second, 1850 cubic
