CALEDONIA COUNTY.
TO he cotcrs Qfhc village Of 81. JohnsJury.
Gentlemen Your committee appointed
May 30, 1872, to Investigate us to the neces-
sity of bringing larger supply of water into
| the village, the best place FROM which to got
water, the expense which would be incur
red, and what arrangement could be made
with the present water company in regard Ia
their aqucducts, supplyppes, reservoirs &c, "
have to report us follows -
We directed our attention to Stiles Pond
us source from which to procure water,
and with results which lead us to recon-
mend that point us most desirable from
| which to obtain the needed supply. Procur-
| ing the services of n civil engineer, surveys
Were made which resulted thus
Height of Stiles Pond above II. X. st. 1853 fl.
Main st. l75 Fl.
Mr.. John Higgins house is ten to fifteen
feet below the level of Stiles Pond.
The distance from II. II. street to Stiles
Pond is "a miles. The area of the Pond is
50 4-l0 acres, which ut u depth of one foot
would furnish 1884, go gallons, and de-
Quoting 3 acres from the area for each foot
in depth, we have ut II depth OF feet II ,60e,
sOl gallons, which would supply popua-
ton of $4,000 persons Mt 40 gallons per head
a IL
replenishing. In case water should ever he
brought from tins source INTO the village
your committee would advise that 1t he
brought into reservoir somewhere near MIR.
John Higgins house and thence into dstrib-
utng pipes. II seems desirable that the
main pipes should he large enough to meet
all probable future demands and we would
suggest the use of IL inch pipe from the Pond
to n reservoir near MIR. Higgins and not less
than an inch pipe from that point to tho
village.
The estimates which we present very pro-
badly might be lesscned by letting out some
parts of the work to reliable parties.
The following are the estimates which we
have obtained:
Cast iron pipe laid, including uenchng
and back filling, S66, Az
Perpetual lease or decd of stiles Pond 5000
Reservoir on Higgins hill, $500
Total by use of cast iron pipe S7l.g77
II an iron lined, cement pipe were used
the expense would nc for the pipe including
trcnching and back filling S49,472
Lease of Pond and Reservoir rs above $500
Total ,972
These estimates do not include any street
pipes. The present Aqueduct Company do
not care to sell their works, but perhaps
would do so if the village should vote to
bring supply from another source.
They decline now to state any price ut
which they would sell, but we are author
lied to say that if no other arrangements are
made by the village, the present aqueduct
Company propose to make such additions to
their works rs will give mn adequate supply
to our village.
