Dam at Kilbourn to be rebuilt as concrete crib
Philip L. Spooner of Madison notified W. Judson of plans to reconstruct the Wisconsin river dam at Kilbourn as a concrete crib structure with 5000 horsepower capacity. The Kilbourn mayor and 123 citizens support the project and also dropped objections to a Portage bridge replacement. The old dam, built in 1895 and damaged in 1896 floods, has had no repairs. Spooner aims to generate Portage lighting and sell power to Kilbourn plants along the river.
