The storage capacity of the Reservoir is too limited for the water- shed we should secure, and although the Mill owners would recover heavy damages, we should be able to deal with but a small portion of the water paid for. Our reliance would be, as now, in one storage reservoir, and in the event of repairs being made at certain points, which would render it necessary to draw off the water, we should lose our supply for the time being.
If Kettle Brook is taken, these objections can be removed, by its diversion from the Waite Reservoir into Henshaw Pond, an additional water-shed of 688 acres, exclusive of water surfaces, would be secured, which added to the shed at Kent's Mill, gives an aggregate of 3,625 acres, from which a supply of 5,165,000 gallons per day can be obtained.
The storage capacity of Henshaw Pond, by building a dam and raising the water line twenty feet, drawing five feet below the present surface, would be 575,889,000 gallons.

HENSHAW POND.
In accordance with the direction in the order of the City Council to "take the measure of the flow of water from Henshaw Pond," a weir. was constructed at its outlet, and measurements of the discharge have been taken daily.
The rainfall during the gauging has been 4.90 inches ; this was pre- ceded by a fall of 4% of an inch on the 14th of April, and 14% on the 17th, which had an influence on the discharge. There was also a con- siderable body of snow on the ground when the measurements com - menced. The period devoted to the gauging has been too limited to establish a ratio between the rainfall and yield of the water-shed, but the rapidity of increase of discharge following a storm, and precipitous character of the slopes of the shed, would indicate that fifty per cent. could be relied upon. This would insure a supply of 685,000 gallons per day from a shed of 481 acres. It will be seen that as a source of supply it is totally inadequate. Its present storage capacity is ex- tremely limited. Soundings have been taken to ascertain the depth of the Pond, and there is not on an average more than ten feet of water, five feet only of which could be utilized to advantage. This would give but 46,114,000 gallons storage, or about two weeks supply for the city. It cannot be recommended to take Henshaw Pond, except in the event of Kettle Brook being secured by the city as a source of supply, in which case, by building a dam, and raising the water level of the Pond twenty feet, its storage capacity could be sufficiently increased to render it a valuable Reservoir, the water from the Brook being diverted from the Waite Reservoir and carried through a canal into the Pond.
Table 4 gives the daily discharge in gallons from the Pond during the gaugings.

TATNUCK BROOK.
The area of the water-shed, including water surfaces, is 3,348 acres. The Holden Reservoir Association Reservoir has a water surface of 88 acres and a storage capacity of 450,000,000 gallons. The proposed city Reservoir would have a water surface of 76 acres and capacity of 595,540,000. This would give an aggregate water surface of 164 acres, which deducted from 3,348 acres leave an effective shed of 3,184 acres. This will give, in the dryest seasons, a supply of 4,536,- 000 gallons per day.
An unusually favorable site has been selected for the proposed res- ervoir. The dam would be located at a point above Seagrave's Mill, known as "the Narrows, " and by constructing it 747 feet long we should obtain a Reservoir of the size and capacity above stated. The flow of water from this dam would carry the water line a short dis- tance on the slope of the Holden Reservoir dam; by the construction of a wall of rubble masonry laid in cement, to prevent wash and per- colation of the water, the upper Reservoir could be used as a reserve or feeder to the proposed Reservoir, to draw from during seasons of drought, and a total storage capacity would be obtained of 1,045,540,- 00) gallons. This greatly exceeds the capacity of the proposed Res- ervoir at Henshaw Pond. In table 4 is given the comparative storage capacity per acre of the different Reservoirs proposed and also of the Lynde Brook Reservoir, also the average depth of water. It will be seen by examination that the Tatnuck scheme is superior to either of the others, giving the largest storage capacity with the least area of water surface. The water-shed is very favorable for the collection of water, and is free from any cause of pollution, and there are no mills above the source of supply. The elevation of the proposed high water line of the Reservoir is 735 feet above tide water. Bell Pond Reser- voir is 666.5, and the top of Newton Hill 672.3 above the same datum plane; the head of water will therefore be ample for all parts of the city except the "High Service " district, which will always be amply supplied from the present source, if an independent provision is made for the other portions of the city. The level of Hunt's Reservoir is 659.85, so that pressure valves would be used in making connections with pipes supplied from that point, the Tatnuck head being about 75 feet greater than the present. It is proposed to connect the Tatnuck Reservoir with the line of pipe on Newton Street, which is 16 inches in diameter. The first mile is proposed to be 24 inches in diameter, the re- maining distance being 20 inch, classified into 4 weights, to cor- respond with the different pressures to be encountered. In this con-
377
ADDITIONAL SUPPLY OF WATER.
nection I would call attention to the importance of an additional main to the city. In case of fire we should have double the amount of water to be obtained at present ; main pipes are essentially Reservoirs; when we draw from them faster than the capacity of the pipe, under a given head, the pressure is affected, and if we have two mains to draw from, of equal capacity, the head is maintained where with but one pipe it would be seriously reduced. By continuing the main from Tatnuck through Pleasant Street to Main Street, and connecting with the mains through Main and Front Streets our supply for fire purposes would be greatly improved. The liability of accident to a line of pipes renders it precarious to depend entirely on one line of mains for a supply, and wherever water is obtained it would be advisable to con- tinue the main into the city.

CHARACTER OF DAM PROPOSED.
The general form of construction of dam is the same in each case.
The Henshaw Pond dam is proposed to be 15 feet wide on top, to be built in layers of six inches, thoroughly wet and rolled with heavy grooved rollers; the water side to have a slope of 1} horizontal to 1 vertical, and to be lined with two feet of puddle, eight inches of broken stone, and fifteen inches of block paving laid by hand, having a firm bearing on the broken stone behind, and to be thoroughly

pinned with small stones or spauls tightly driven. No stone larger than three inches in diameter to be allowed in the embankment.
The dam at the Tatnuck Reservoir is proposed to be of the same character, the top width being twenty feet instead of fifteen, to allow a driveway across.
The gate houses are to be of rubble masonry laid in hydraulic ce- ment mortar.
The pipe arch of the Tatnuck Reservoir to be through solid ledge, with rubble covert.
The outer slopes of both dams are proposed to be 2 feet horizontal to 1 foot vertical.
DAMAGES ON KETTLE AND TATNUCK BROOKS.
In the calculation of damage incurred by the owners of water privileges the data is founded on the average rainfall for a series of years. The average rainfall, as observed at the Worcester Lunatic Hospital from 1841 to 1870 inclusive, was 46-53% inches, 50 per cent. of which is estimated as utilized by the mills. The best class of turbine water wheels, in practice, utilize about 75 per cent. of the water ex- pended in running them, and this per cent. is taken in estimating the horse power taken from each privilege. The results are embodied in Table 5. The horse power is given merely for the purpose of show- ing the relative value of the two streams to the mill owners. A cer- tain portion of it annually goes to waste on account of insufficient storage capacity to retain it during freshets.
No money value is assigned to the horse power on either stream.
The cost of a horse power of steam varies with the locality, the price of coal being an important item.
In Worcester, taking the Corliss Engine as a standard, the cost, in- cluding interest on cost of engine, salaries, repairs, etc., will not vary much from $80.00 per year, and with different engines may be taken at from $80.00 to $100.00 per annum. In settling damages with own- ers of water power the basis must be furnishing an equivalent steam power for water power taken. The horse power given in the tables in- cludes all the water flowing from the water-sheds, and should be re- duced an amount equal to the loss during freshets, which it is impossi- ble to estimate without long-continued measurements of the flow un- der all circumstances.

ADDITIONAL SUPPLY OF WATER.
The scheme of pumping water from Lake Quinsigamond has received considerable attention, and it may be of interest to have the cost of pumping stated. This subject has lately received much atten- tion from Engineers and others, and great improvements have been made in machinery within the past few years. The American Society of Civil Engineers, appointed April 1st, 1874, a Committee, consist- ing of Messrs. Gorham P. Low, Jr., W. Milnor Roberts, and John Bogart, with instructions to make investigations and Report on the comparative efficiency of the principal pumping engines in use. Table 6 is extracted from their valuable Report to the Society under date of May 1st, 1875.
The information embodied in it will enable any person interested to form a reliable opinion as to the advisability of considering the project of pumping from any source, when a supply by gravity can be obtained at a reasonable expense. There are cases where pumping is advisable on account of excessive cost of obtaining a supply by gravity, but it would be the most expensive scheme under consideration to pump water from Lake Quinsigamond. There is but one Pumping Station in the United States, to my knowledge, where water is lifted as high as would be necessary in case Quinsigamond were taken. The vertical lift would be 311 feet. At the Roxborough Works, in Philadelphia, water is raised 334 feet, or 23 feet higher than from Quinsigamond Lake into Bell Pond. As the station is not included in the table the Running expenses for 1871 will be given.

The engine is a full Cornish, considered an excellent type of pump- ing engine, which Frederic Graff, Esq., Chief Engineer of the Water Works thus refers to in his Report for the year.
"The Roxborough Works have been in successful operation during the year ; the engine has worked remarkably well, and is an excellent example of the Cornish type."
The cost given at this station is exclusive of interest on the cost of the engine, engine house, etc.
Columbus and Dayton, Ohio, are supplied with the Holley System of Water Works. In these works the water is pumped directly into the distributing pipes without the intervention of a Reservoir. The ex- cessive cost of pumping for direct service would warrant a large outlay for reservoirs when they are practicable.
COMPARISON BETWEEN KETTLE AND TATNUCK BROOKS.
The cost of construction is in favor of Kettle Brook, providing we connect with our present line of mains, and have no increase in the capacity of our works for fire supply, which we should secure by an additional line of pipes to the city.
The damage to Mill owners, which is the important question to deal with, is 73 per cent. heavier on Kettle than on Tatnuck Brook, taking the comparative horse power as a standard, and if we are obliged to pay for the reservoirs above Waite's on Kettle Brook, the percentage will be increased. It is impossible to say what we should have to pay for the water rights of Henshaw Pond, but it is safe to assume the damages on Kettle Brook in connection with Henshaw Pond would be double that on the Tatnuck.
The amount of water to be obtained is in favor of Tatnuck Brook, over Kettle Brook, connected with Lynde Brook Reservoir, 350,000 gallons per day, and in favor of Kettle Brook 600,000 gallons per day if Henshaw Pond is secured as a reservoir.
The storage capacity of Tatnuck Brook Reservoir, in connection with the Holden Association Reservoir, which we should acquire in settling damages with the Mill owners, would be about 470,000,000 gallons greater than Henshaw P'ond Reservoir, which would allow us to carry a surplus from wet to dry years.
