Sessional papers of the Dominion of Canada 1914 . tails of structures which will be required. An effort has been made, however,to allow a sufficient amount in the estimate for fairly permanent structures through-out the work.

It will be seen from the estimate that a large proportion of the total cost of thework is for the dam at Wests ranch, northwest i of section 4, township 2, range 28,west of the 4th meridian. The dam figured for this estimate was designed with theassumption that a solid foundation existed. No borings were made at-the proposedsite, and it is impossible to state definitely whether rock exists or not until this workhas been done. There is some evidence of a solid foundation, but should it happenthat no solid rock exists, the estimate for a dam will be very much in error. Respectfully submitted, B. RUSSELL, Inspecting 25—1914—vii—23 1
