This formed a portion of Mr. Sullivan's far-tual elevation, when afterwards surveyed by a practical engineer, was found to be 104 feet. By the original survey from Billerica to Chelmsford, the surveyor says, ‘The water we estimate in the Merrimac River at sixteen and one-half feet above that accept the sum awarded.
The compensation for the land taken ranged from $150 per acre, in Medford, to $25 per acre in Billerica.
The progress was slow and attended with many embarrassments, and was prosecuted with great caution from the commencem
