Railroad company has met in building its
large dam and power station at thltten-

connection with the sub-reservoir, which
will be built at East Pittsford. There are

ID. =. Peabody on the owners requiring
them to appear before the State board of
railroad commissioners at the county

these in question to build the needed
reservoir. They have offered as high as
$lO0 an acre for uncultivated land but
have in many cases been refused.
