the proposed works. In order that these
may be properly compared they. snouia
be drawn on the same scale, and / Sug-
gest that the scale be fixed in the speel-
locations.
II is provided that the city shall take
a minimum supply OF twenty million gal-
twenty-seven million gallons OF water per
day, and while thai amount could prop
ably be reduced by strict SUPERVISION o.
waste and consumption, it seems evident
that we will need more than twenty-five
million gallons per day In 1850. IT may pc
that the city would obtain more advan-
tageous bidding IL the minimum supply
was placed in alternative form, SO that
bids could state prices on the basis OF a
minimum supply of twenty, twenty-five
and thirty million gallons per cay. far
You provide thai the right OF way Tor
conduits shall in no case be less imam
forty feet in width | recommend a re-
consideration OF this provision, being az
yised that thirty feet would pc ample.
The city does not need n greater rignt
Of way than that obtained by Newark.
and unnecessary condemnation VIII OF
course increase the price to be liked LOT
the plant. Before final determination on
this point, / suggest that you consult tHe
city officials of Newark, to ascertain
whether the width asked FOR IS necessary
to meet any possible contingency.
| In making these commentators l
have used information gathered from
various sources, and trust that we snall
reach an early agreement. Desiring the
opinion of an eminent engineer, whose at
titude would be that of a critic. l sub
mitted the specifications to Mr.. j. James
r.. Croes. While he made several Sug-
gestions of change in detail, I am pleased
! TO convey to you his opinion that the
area of watershed requlred, the amount
of storage necessary to be provided, the
character of the materials and the work
manship demanded are all very fully and
explicitly set forth in the specifications,
which, on careful examination, appear 10
be framed with great care, ana IN accord
with the latest experience and informal
| ton in engineering practice
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD HOOS,
