BARTLETT AND JACKMAN SPRINGS.
These springs have been quite carefully investigated and an es- timate of the cost of a supply from this source is appended.
Apart from the uncertainty in regard to quantity which must always attend a supply derived from springs, the quality of the water is unexceptional and the quantity as gauged is larger than I expected. It may be stated here, however, that the quantity, although quite large, is not sufficient for a supply for your city, and it may be doubted if, in a cycle of dry years, it would not be very muchi reduced.
It should not be forgotten that the springs are as much depen- dent upon rains for their supply as ponds, lakes or rivers, but while the water-sheds of the latter are visible and the amount of water that can be obtained from them is easily estimated. there is no way in which the water-shed of a spring can be accurately de- termined, and consequently no method except that of gauging, by which its flow can be ascertained. Even gaugings are unreliable for showing the value of springs as sources of supply unless they are made in an exceptionally dry year. The following table will show the amount flowing from the springs as gauged by my assist- ant, Mr Stearns :
GAUGING AT BARTLETT AND JACKMAN SPRINGS.
Bartlett Springs. Weir 1.49 feet long. Lip of weir 1 foot above bottom of channel of approach, and 0.8 feet above mean tide. Average range of tides, about 612 feet.
Jackman Springs. Weir 1 foot long. Lip of weir 1.5 feet above bottom of channel of approach, and 2.8 feet above mean tide.

It will be seen by the above table that the maximum difference of flow during the gauging time was only about seven per cent, which must be considered very regular.
The average flow of both springs, 550,000 gallons in twenty- four hours, would have to be supplemented by a supply from some other source to make an adequate supply for your city. An ad- equate source should be able to furnish 1,000,000 gallons in twenty- four hours, although estimating your population at 14,000 and the consumption at fifty gallons per head, would give but 700.000 gal- lons per day. The experience of all cities that have public water supplies, has, however shown that it is very poor economy not to provide a water supply upon a liberal scale. The consumption in the summer months, especially if they are very hot and without much rain, would be as much as twenty per cent. above the average consumption.
It may be said of these springs that they would probably furnish a supply for several years if the anticipated consumption should not be reached, and that the cost of a scheme from this source is com- paratively small and the water is of superior quality.
The objections to the scheme are the impracticability of obtaining a site for a reservoir of sufficient height to avoid supplying the city during the day hours by direct pumping, and the probable necessity in the future of supplementing the supply with inferior water from another source .

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
A site for a reservoir could be obtained upon Moulton's, hill but would cost so much in addition to the extra length of pipes re- quired as to render the direct pumping plan much the cheapest. It would be difficult to maintain a proper circulation through the res- ervoir proposed for this scheme, as only the surplus water from the pumps runs into it, and the lack of head in the night time might cause some annoyance. This plan is, however, in succesful operation in Cambridge and in Brighton, and will soon be in oper- ation in East Boston.
The scheme as proposed contemplates a reservoir on Pillsbury's hill, with pumping station, wharf, &c, at Bartlett springs. The springs are to be dammed at their outlets and connected by a line of pipes. The direct pumping is to be against a head of 150 feet above high tide, and the grade of the reservoir to be at 104 feet above the same base. The estimate of the cost of the scheme is appended.
ARTICHOKE RIVER.
This river, rising in West Newbury and flowing thence into the Merrimac river, forming a part of the boundary Ilne between New- buryport and West Newbury, is a very sluggish stream with, how- ever, a large water shed.
The upper branches of the river are in a good country for fur- nishing pure water, and the slopes of the water-shed on the west side of the river are quite steep ; those on the east side are more gradual, but are not so flat as to be objectional. By building a dam accross the river at a point shown on the accompaning plan, an artifical lake or basin with a water surface of 164 acres can be formed. The basin will be about 10 feet in depth and will contain about 375,000,000 gallons.
There is no reason why the water stored in this basin will not be equal if not superior to that of any other source that can be ob- tained, except the Bartlett and Jackman springs. This source will furnish about 2,500,000 gallons per day.
The scheme for this supply involves the building of a dam, and thereby flooding about 164 acres of meadow land, a pumping station as located on the plan, and a reservoir on Turkey hill, with a water surface at grade 132 feet above high tide, and a capacity of 5,200,000 gallons. The supply main to the city will be about 2 1-5 miles long, and the loss of head on High street with the domestic con- sumption will be about 3 feet only ; but in case of fire it might amount to about 32 feet.
The table of levels on High street which is appended will show the effect of this loss of head at the houses at different points on the street.
KIMBALL'S POND
located in Amesbury, with its high water mark at 90 feet above high tide, has an area of about 330 acres and is of sufficient ca-
33
248
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
pacity to furnish all the water that would be needed for the supply of the city. The pond is used as a storage reservoir for the Salis- bury mills, and is liable to be drawn down from 8 to 10 feet when- ever the water is needed by the mills. The damages claimed for the water needed would undoubtedly be large, and might lead to ex- pensive litigation to determine them. It would be advisable if this source were adopted to seize the full amount of water allowed by the act of the Legislature-1 1-2 million gallons per day- as there seems to be no provision for a second taking.
The scheme estimated upon proposes a pumping station on the border of the pond ; a reservoir on Pond hill with its water surface at grade 226 feet above high tide and a capacity of 2,500,000 gal- lons ; a reservoir in the city on Pillsbury's hill with its water surface at grade 104 feet above high tide and a capacity of 3,000,000 gallons.
The reservoir on Pillsbury's hill is for use in case of accident to the pipe line from the Pond hill reservoir, and also in case of fire to furnish a supply without the excessive loss of head that the long supply main would necessitate. The ordinary head would be very much larger than that due to the height of the Pillsbury hill reser- voir, or about 180 feet, with a consumption of 1,000,000 gallons per day.
LAKE GARDNER.
This lake has been examined both as a source of supply by it- self and also as a source from which a supply might be obtained to supplement that from the Bartlett and Jackman springs when the limit of their capacity should be reached. As a source from which to obtain a full supply for the city, it is, I think, undesirable as . compared with either of the other sources estimated upon, and as a source from which to obtain a supplementary supply to that of the Bartlett and Jackinan springs, the mill pond below possesses advan- tages over it in its less distance from the city, and the ease of access. involving consequently less expense to connect it.
An estimate has been made of the expense of furnishing a supply of 1,000.000 gallons at the proposed pumping station of the springs, but this estimate does not include the mill damages, in regard to which the same consideration would apply as in the case of Kim- ball's pond.
BACK OR COLCHESTER RIVER.
A hurried examination of this river has been made with reference to its ability to furnish a supply to supplement that from the Bartlett and Jackman springs.
I believe that a sufficient quantity for this purpose could be ob- tained at a cost not exceeding that from the mill pond of the Salis- bury mills, that is if my opinion of the amount of damages that might be awarded in each case is a correct one.
POWOW RIVER.
No scheme for taking a supply from this river has been estimated upon, but from such examination as I have made it does not possess
249
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
any advantages as a source of supply over Kimball's pond. The damage to the Salisbury mills would be about the same in one case as in the other.
MERRIMAC RIVER.
A supply could be obtained from this source, and the quality of the water would be good, but it could only be pumped out at low tide. If taken at high tide the water would be brackish, as the tide water runs far above the city limits.
As it is probable that your citizens would be prejudiced against obtaining a supply from this source, I have not investigated it very carefully, but it could undoubtedly be used to advantage to sup- plement, in case of necessity, the supply from Bartlett and Jack- man springs at a comparatively trifling expense, if the spring sys- tem of works should be adopted.
CONCLUSIONS UPON THE SOURCES OF SUPPLY.
I will summarize the estimates which are given in detail else- where :
The Bartlett and Jackman springs scheme will cost for a supply of 500,000 gallons per day, including pumping capacity for 1,000.000, and pipe system ... $272,734 00
Bartlett and Jackman springs scheme, supplemented by a supply of 1,000,000 gallons per day from mill pond at Salisbury mills, or from Back er Colchester river, and not including mill damages in either case. .$303,234 00
Storage basin scheme on the Artichoke river, supply equal to 2,500,000 gallons per day. .$294,515 00 Kimballs pond scheme with a supply of 1,500,000 gallons per day, not including mill damages .$308,605 00
It will be seen that for the amount of water the Artichoke basin scheme is very much the cheaper, and I have no hesitation in rec- ommending it as the best for adoption by your city. By it an am- ple supply can be furnished for any probable increase of population in the future, and I am satisfied that the quality of the water will be equal if not superior to that of the average water supplies.
I believe your city will make a grave mistake if it allows any private company to introduce the water, and in concluding this hastily written report will say that I have rarely in my experience seen a locality for which nature had furnished so many sources of supply that could be comparatively cheaply introduced that had not a public water supply.
I desire to express my obligations to my assistants, Messrs. F. P. Stearns, W. A. Gould, and Dexter Brackett, for their co-opera- tion in endeavoring to get their several portions of the work done in time.
The maps and tables appended to this report will not need, I think, any explanation from me, other than that either given upon or in them.

Samples 1 and 5 were slightly, 3 was distinctly colored ; 2 and 4 were colorless. All the samples were not perfectly clear, owing to some suspended matter. Number 5 contained, besides numerous living " cyclops," a small crustacea, common in ponds and stagnant water. Allowed to settle, the suspended matter formed a more or less conspicuous sediment, which, by microscopical examination, proved to be a variety of diatoms, living ones and fragments, con- fervæ and other algæ, particles of quartz, etc.'
The five samples belong to the class of soft water, especially numbers 1 and 5. The hardness is generally in proportion to the quantity of dissolved matter. It will be seen from the above figures that this quantity is very small in samples 1 and 5, a little larger in 2, 3 and 4. The solid residue, obtained by evaporating the water, consists of inorganic (mineral) and organic matter. The incineration of this residue, whereby the organic matter is destroyed and volatilized, gives approximately the amount of organic matter. Another more correct test consists in determining the amount of oxygen required for the oxydation of organic matter. The ques- tion as to the nature of the organic matter -that is, if of vegeta- ble or animal origin - is usually decided by an estimate of the so called albuminoid ammonia. It is a process by which the animal (nitrogenous) organic matter is converted into ammonia, the free or saline ammonia being previously removed. According to this, and also to the foregoing test, the samples 2 and 4 take the first rank, then comes 1 and 5, and at last 3. It may be remarked here
253
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
that neither of those tests gives with absolute correctness the true amount of dissolved organic matter in water. Nevertheless they are generally applied, together with other results, to arrive at a judgment about the quality of water. There was no indication for nitrates in the unconcentrated waters, and for chlorine and sul- plates, for lime and magnesia the indication was only faint.
In summarizing all the results, we find that the five samples of water would rank in purity as follows : First, number 2; second, number 4; third, numbers 1 and 5; fourth, number 3. Numbers 1 and 5 are of about the same quality ; number 5 is purer in regard to albuminoid ammonia, while the reaction for the total organic matter is in favor of number 5.
The following figures, which are agreed upon as a kind of stan- dard, may assist you in forming an opinion on the quality of the waters in question :
Hardness. Water is called soft with a hardness of 2-5 degrees ; moderately hard with a hardness of 5-9 degrees ; hard with a hardness of 10-12 degrees; very hard with a hardness of 13-15 degrees. (The hardness of the water from the Market square well is 22.5 degrees ; that from City hall is 6.2 degrees.)
Organic Matter. The amount of oxygen required for the oxyd- ation of the organic matter in 100,000 parts of water should not be more than 0.2. Less than 0.1 indicates a good drinking water. The albuminoid ammonia in pure water may vary from 0.002 to 0.005.
Chlorine. Should not be more than two to three parts in 100,- 000 parts.
Total Solid Residue. Should not be more than fifty parts in 100,000 parts.
KARL CASTELHUN.
The above analyses were made from numbered samples, the chem ist not being informed of their source. They were taken by Mr. Stearns, as follows :
No. 1 .- Artichoke river, full basin, near Curson's mill, deepest part.
No. 2 .- Jackman springs.
No. 3 .- Artichoke river, shallowest part, near fourth bridge.
No. 4 .- Bartlett springs.
No. 5 .- Kimball's pond, 100 feet from shore, four feet depth be- low the surface.
No. 6 .- Artichoke river. shallow, rear of number 3.
The engineer states that the basin when filled will have the purity of the deep water.
