Power Site No. 2.

Dam, 61 ft. High.
Trunk line, 5200 ft.
To deliver water at Power House site, will cost $80.00 per H.P.- $104000.00

        In both the above cases, wooden stave pipe instead of steel trunks, or feeders, will reduce the cost 25 [percent].  It will further be understood that the developments at these sites secure the double discharge of the stream for 12 hours at the two lower power sites as well as at the two upper power sites.
        The country is not suitable for canals; but there is good bearing ground for closed flumes, or feeders, and good roads to each power site.  See maps.

Power Site No. 3.
Dam, 42 ft. high.
Trunk line, 8800 ft.  Stave pipe with plate steel discharge at lower end.
To deliver water at Power House site, will cost, $16.00 per H.P.-75000.00

Power Site No 4.
Dam, 10 ft. high.
Trunk line, 4450 ft. plate steel feeder.
To deliver water at Power House site will cost, $12.00 per H.P.-620000.00

        The total power and cost is less than $28.00 per H.P. at my estimate, and $24.20 at the Government's estimate of water power.
        There is plenty of flat land on the stream for power houses where shown on maps, as well as at a number of other places, and good bearing grounds for trunks without rock excavation.
        It is to be noted that on the Saluda Sheet the Government are 100 ft. short of our elevations at the head of Green River Cove and that the bench marks established by the Government on the land show this to be the fact, our elevations agree with the bench marks.
