THE LAKE TAHOE WATER SCHEME.

The report of Col. G. Fl. 0Iendell, the En-
pineer of the San Francisco Board Of Com
missioners of Water Supply is thorough re-
view of the various propositions to furnish
that city with water, but no recommendations
are made. OF Won Sclunidt's scheme he
says: T.,
Lake Tahoe is to be regarded as reservoir,
which can always be relied on to furnish any
desired amount of water, and its relative
value, as compared with projects having their
source of supply in similar regions, is to be
studied in the light of the expense necessary
to make the reservoir available for our pur-
poses The dam at the outlet of the Iruckee
is made of timber, and it will be inexpensive
to replace when it becomes necessary. 1t Is
supplied with gates, by which the fowage OF
the Truckee river can be regulated. large
but unknown quantity Of water Is now and
will be required for the service Of the mills
along the river.
Lake Tahoe is not only an abundant reser-
voir, but it is -eninently safe reservoir.
The dam as has been remarked, raises the
water only six feet, and therefor it is not ex-
posed to danger.
1t remains to say, that the estimate of the
cost of these items is, by the statement
of the President or the Lake Tahoe
and San Francisco Water Company, 81, 741,
900, ten per cent contingency being added,
which sum is to be increased by $500, 900 for
franchise, lands etc, making total Of ST.
O41, 900.
The route from the Auburn reservoir to
this city would be common to the different
projects, coming from Lake Tahoe, North
Fork of the American and from the South
Yuba.
The company require five years in which to
bring the water TO Auburn. The tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada will be 24,l72
feet in length, of which g miles will be be
tween working points.
In the present state of our knowledge, and
for present purposes, We may take the estim-
ate and offer, made to you by the company to
construct the tunnel, as an element Of COM
parls0n.
The tunnel has the advantag Of easy com
unication by rail with sources of supply.
The canal head, on the west side Of the
mountain, will be at an altitude, as near as
We can now fix it, of about 1000 feet above
the sea. This high altitude for canal is OBJ
iectisnable, on account of exposure to the
snow, which is liable to injure and obstruct
