Sacandaga Reservoir storage reports and bond offering bill

Chronological.

The Hudson River Regulating District was formed according to Chapter 662 of the Laws of 1915 to construct, maintain, and operate reservoirs within the drainage area of the Hudson River above the Albany-Greene County line, to regulate the flow of streams in the district. It was created on August 2, 1922 and became active on November 9, 1922.

In 1924, pursuant to Section 450 of the Conservation Law, the board of the Hudson River Regulating District determined that the Sacandaga Reservoir should be constructed as part of a plan to regulate the Hudson River and it's principal tributaries. In 1925 it approved the apportionment of the $9 million cost (assessed against the municipalities, corporations, and individuals to benefit from the resource) and authorized payment in forty annual installments.

Included in the series are two copies each of a statement of assessment of cost of the Sacandaga Reservoir (June 2, 1925); a report to the board of the Hudson River Regulating District on the effect of Sacandaga storage by the J.G. White Engineering Corporation (June 3, 1925); and a notice of public offering (March 18, 1927) of a bond issue of $2,025,000 to partially finance the construction of the Sacandaga Reservoir on the Sacandaga River in Saratoga, Fulton, and Hamilton Counties.

The provenance of this series is unknown. The accession resulted from a project by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or integrate estrayed or unidentified records.
