understand, the nature. of our proposal,
ings which are. now being prepared.
We propose to. take the water from
Roeaaway River, at the head of Of the
tate at Boonton, erecting a masonry
dam at an elevation above tide of some
thing over 4So feet. The Rockaway val
ley above the intake proposed, has a
drainage area of 1865 square miles, SO

water shed, by preferably laying a vitri-
fed pipe sewer through the valley of the
Rockaway. River from these points to q
discharge below our intake. Should it be
deemed necessary and advisable, We are
also prepared TO dispose of any possible

purity of the river, by a device which
shall carry the lOckage waters across the
river into the guard lock on the opposite
side.
From the intake, as above located, we
propose to carry a line of pipe, either
single or double, at the option of the
city, to a combined storage and dis
%tributing reservoir to be located near the
ravine or gorge about a mile north of
Montville station. on the Delaware and
Lackawanna Railroad, and about three
miles northeast of our intake at Boonton.

of about 1,500 feet. The storage capacity
of this reservoir will be upwards OF

supply above the level of the draught

have a local drainage area of about
