8 WATEKBURY EVENING DEMOCH AT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER . 17, 1008. CITY ENGINEER CAIRNS' REPORT Alfcr a Survey of Watersheds la Vlclolly el Prosped Be Tells What Uaj Be Expected From That Direction. up, water rights would have to be bought from at least seven concerns, considerable land would have to be bought and much piping would have to b done through a rocky country. The district Is swampy, the report states and a vast amount of much would have to le removed to make a suitable storage. The communica tion was received and placed on file The report follows: Th board of aldermen met last Bight and received the report of City Engineer Cairns regarding the water hods of the Prospect valley, show ing the most the city could possibly get there would be a yield of 1,500, 000 gallons a day. The estimated cost was not given but In order to . get the amount of water mentioned, three dams would have to be thrown Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 16, 1908 To the Honorable Board of Aldermen: Gentlemen: In accordance with the vote passed by your Honorable Board on November 2, 1908, I at once began surveys of the area lying Immediately west of Prospect center, and draining into the Naugatuck river ut Union City. Two lines of levels were run into the district which checked up closely, thus making sure of the elevations. The general topography of the proposed watershed is given on the state map. I hare compared It on the ground and found it apparently correct. Weirs have been erected at several points and the present flow of the streams determined. J find that a reservoir can be created at a potntnear an old pond, (owner, formerly Twlchell, now Payne), on the westerly edge of the meadows and woodland which together form a level tract within a mile west and southwest of Prospect Center. Such a reservoir would have an elevation sufficient to permit of its dis charging through a pipe line about 1 miles long Into , the main reservoir on East Mountain and so forming a part of the High Service. Ita tributary watershed would be about 0.S7 square miles, and with a reservoir of suf ficient size I estimate that there could be obtained here a daily supply of about 700,000 gallons. This watershed cannot well be increased by moving the location of the dam down stream, on account of the rapid fall of the brook below the edge of the plateau. On November 10th, 1908, a flow of about 103,000 gal lons per day was found In the stream at the point re ferred to. The next point at which a reservoir can be made is at the Russell pond, so-called. This is the lowest point on the stream where any amount of storage can be ob tained, from this point to Union City the valley being too steep and narrow. In order to make a reservoir here two dams of considerable length will be required, there being a side outlet from the basin nearly as low as the main valley. The tributary area, including that above the Twitchell pond, is two square miles, part of which Is secured by means of a small diversion dam and pipe line bringing In a stream which does not now reach Russell pond. The elevation is between that of the present Branch reservoir and that of the proposed new one in Morris. I estimate that with a sufficiently large reservoir here a daily supply from the whole watershed 'of about one and one-half million gallons can be se cured. This is not in addition to the amount given above for a High Service reservoir, but on the assump tion that the upper dam is not built. At the Russell dam about 500,000 gallons per day is now running in the streams which could be gathered together at that point. In brief it appears that these Prospect Valley streams can be made to yield some 700,000 gallons per day for the High Service and in addition about 800,000 gallons per day for the Low Service. To accomplish these re sults It will be necessary to purchase sufficient land, to construct three large dams and one small one, to re locate flooded highways, to clean out two swampy basins In which the muck is quite deep, to secure rights of way for and to build two pipe lines through a rough, rocky country, and to compensate the owners of at least seven small water powers. In case only the High Service part is developed, one dam, one dike to close a side valley, a new highway, one pipe line, one reservoir basin and less land would be heeded, with the damages for diversion of water probably about the same as if beth services are worked up. This would add 700,000 gallons per day to the present supply. In case the High Service part were omitted the Low Service part would furnish one and one-half million per day, involving the purchase of land, ' building of two large and one small (diversion) dams, cleanfng the reservoir site, re-location of highways, and the construction of one pipe line and purchase of all water rights. It will require weeks of field and office work before it will be possible to report estimates on the cost, but the figures of yield of water given above, are close aDDroximations. It mav he worth whiio tr. state that they are based on higher rates per square mile of watershed than those nspr) in rnif niotinn. the Branch yield. I submit herewith a map of the watershed, with the West Branch also shown, for purpose of comparison. Also photographs of the several streams, showing the weirs erected to measure the flow. At the weirs all of the streams are 24 inches wide and from one to three inches deep. Yours very respectfully, R. A. CAIRNS. C. E., City Engineer.

Those gloves make my hands so clumsy, but if I didn't wear them my hands would be as dirty as my linen. What with handling money, and the pushing and shoving, my things get so dirty, my wife doesn't like to wash 'em. " Anty Drudge '"Well, that's a sad state of affairs. Get her to try Fels-Naptha and she shall complain no more about washing your clothes. No backaches from Fels-Naptha, or hard work either. Your wife can do a day's washing before noon if she uses it " . When Fels-Naptha soap is used the hanging out is the hardest part of the wash ing No boiling, either winter or summer. No fire to keep red hot; no tiring and tedious rub-a-dub on the washboard. Fels-Naptha itself does the hardest part of the washday work loosening the dirt: All the human aid necessary is a few rubs, a quick rinsing and the clothes are ready for wringing. Out they go on the line, sweeter and whiter than if a whole day were spent trying to grind out the dirt on a washboard. For further information read the inside of the red' and green wrapper.
