Delphi to Begin Dam Construction for Waterside Park
A Delphi committee led by William H. Bradshaw believes dam work for the new waterside park will start soon. Plans favor an upstream slope with downstream buttresses, port holes for water passage and silt clearing, pilasters for stability, and concrete drilled into solid rock for reinforcement. Experts at Purdue University support the plan if local material is used to save costs. The landscape committee plans to hire artists for park beautification, with Mr. Malcott Jackson of Michigan and Donald J. of Indianapolis advising on landscaping.
