In the following report and estimates
are from actual surveys, as are the
reservoir areas and contents.
The elevations are from mean sea
level.
The watershed areas and number
OF houses ON each are estimated rom
maps prepared by the u, $, geological
survey and are generally correct With

The dam sites and pipe lines have
not been carefully studied. rs would be
necessary before beginning actual con-

az any.

The springs and brooks, now trlbu-

with the exception of the pumping sta
ton. developed TO their full practical
capacity.
There are various brooks which
could be conducted by pipe TO the re-
servoir. but considering the expense
and that there would be no increase
of pressure we do not recommend that
this be done
In our opinion. II you desire to
maintain your present reservoir as
your source OF distribution. the best
thing to do is TO build up the wall nj
the southerly end OF the reservoir
thereby increasing the capacity to
about 100000 gallons. and as fur

the $500 feet Of 8 inch pipe on YER

We find that there are 40 hydrants
in the village. some connected to mains
by 4 inch and some by inch pipe.
One of the earliest questions that
occurred to us on our first visit to
Brattleboro in connection with this
scheme was where are the hydrants?"
We find that there are about 100

feed pipes from springs to reservoir)

No. 2-North Pond.
North pond is a fine sheet OF ap-
parently good water but situated at
such an elevation that ii would not be
practical TO pipe il direct to the con-
sumner at Brattleboro.
The area of the pond is about 30
acres and the watershed is 0.6 square
miles
The situation of the pond and its
outlet are such that by the construc-
ton of a small dam the entire run
off of the watershed can be controlled;
this in a very dry year should amount
to at least 100000 gallons per day,
which in itself is not sufficient but
will be considered later in conjunction
with other brooks.
We estimate that, by the excavation
of a channel to draw the pond three
feet below its natural level and the
erection of a dam to raise 1t seven
! feet above its natural level the stor-
age viii be about 300,O00,0OO gallons,
which is sufficient TO control the entire
run-off in a dry season, and will cost

she must say it to Russia or TO Japan
after the matter has been settled"
This was the extent of Mr.. Sato's
talk Sunday. He received call dur
ing the afternoon from Commander
Kamimura of the Japanese navy, and
half score Of his brother officers, who
are en- route to England to supervise
the completion of warship.
Baron Komura was absent all day at
Peekskill, where he went with Baron
Kaneko to call on an old Harvard
classmate.
With the arrival here of M. Ochiai,
secretary of the japanese legation ait
Paris, the japanese peace commission
is now complete. Mr. Sato said Mr.
Ochiai had spent some time in Russia
with Baron Komura, and is fully con-
yersant with the Russian language.
"He will be Of great value in the
work ahead" said Mr. Sato.
Baron Rosen, the junior Russian en-
voy, arrived during the day and took
apartments at the St. Regis. The
baron declined to be interviewed. II
is not believed that any statement will
be given to the public by the Russian
enjoys until Baron Rosen and M
Witte have had chance to confer af-
ter the latters' arrival in New York on
wednesday.
