already been issued for making borings at the Kremling reser-
voir site, to determine the suitability of the foundation for
the dam. Owing to high water, it will not be practicable to be-
gin these borings before July. In the meantime, an examination
will be made to determine the possibilities of storage at other
points, and whether somo modifications of the Government plans
can be made to accomodate the requirements of railroad construc-
tion.
It is respectfully suggested that as these borings and
surveys approach completion in the coming autumn, a smail
board of competent engineers be detailed to examine the re-
sults of such investigations, to confer with the railroad en-
gineers on the ground as to alternative locations for railroad
construction, and to consider all facts bearing upon this problem
and make recommendations for transmission to the Department con-
cerning the advisable policy to be followed, to the end that
the greatest public interests may be conserved by the use of
this great natural opportunity.
Plans to this effect will be made by this office unless
otherwise ordered by the Department.
Very (respectfully,
Director.
