jcctionS and the witness proceeded
with the reading of his data, and its
explanation.
The Watervillc drainage area was
stated to be 1880 square miles and the
Augusta area, $40 square miles, ac-
cordinS To the United States geological
survey. The Augusta pond area is
A. SOS. 900 square feet at the minimum
level. that is 1T the level OF the top of

The witness then went on to give
the average fl0W of thc river during
the IL years that the record has been
kept. for each of the l. months in the
year. The drainage area for Augusta
and the horsepowor to be expected with
a fall of Il feet and with an efficiency
of - OH the shaft. The smallest
amounts of available power were
reached in January and February of
1904 February of that year was the
dricSt month on the record. The av-
cragc available horsepower available
during the month for a 10 hours daily
,un was 4196.41; the amount required
was 1900 and the shortage was 3.53
one of the weeks in that month was
very much lower than the rest and the
average was thereby lowered consid :
erably. Another low week was eX-
perienccd in December of 1903 when
there was a shortage of 1c6i.76 horse
power. In January of 1904 there was
a week when there was a shortage of
i07.7+ horsepower in an average 10
hours run.
The witness stated in conclusion of
this portion of his testimony that the
privilege can depend on an average
minimum of 4196.126 horsepower avail
, able on the shaft.
Diagrams of the dam were introduce
ed in explanation Of its construction
ard the replacement cost. 1t was esti-
mated that the power plant on the west
side of the river would cost S141 800
and on the east side the development
would cost s111.71. a total of 51f.2S3.
! The annual expense Of maintenance of
this plant was estimated to be $39,-
! 305.40.
The cost of installing q steam plant
was then taken UP ana also its main
tenance. 1t was shown that the net
gain in the annual expense of the wat
or power plant over steam plant OF
the same efficiency was the difference
