Roberts Estimate.
Medford, Or., Oct. 14, IflnS. To the
Honorable Mayor nnd City Council,
Medford, Or. Gentlemen: Mr. Edgar
ITafer hns handed me a plan to supply
Medford with water from tlio Big Huttc
Spring. This is the spring mentioned
in my former report of September 20,
concerning which I snid the spring
"has had its advocates because the
(piantity nnd'qu.ility of water were be
yond question and the water rights
were not in dispute." It issues nt nn"
elevation of about 2700 feet (Medford.
137!i) and flow3 about 2100 miners'
inches. Mr. flafer proposes to bring
the wnter through n covered flume
boot 2.-! miles, thence by pipe to the
distributing system at Medford. The
capacity of the flume he submits is not
lev them 300 inches, with a grade of
5 feet per thousand. He lias asked
m. to furaiiOi you an estimate of the
e.l of syrh fystem, exclusive of the
flnsie, he.l rm prifes li.iillr to those
used for itiwt of ttl Little Unite
