FORT WORTH, Texas May 2Ist,06. 190____

Hon. C. G. Harrold. Chairman/ and Water Works Committee.

Gentlemen:-

I beg to advise that we filled the Mead Reservoir (No.I.) to within 7 feet of the top, being sixteen feet in it, and shut it off in twenty four hours, and the leakage through the cracked bottom amounted to a fraction over 34.000 gallons in twenty four hours. The clear fork and west fork were both up at the time which will reduce the amount of leakage that would occur had the river been low and less pressure on the bottom from the gravel bed of the river.

Respectfully submitted.
