The Lora-mie Reservoir has three four feet by five feet gates, a three-inch circular gate and a spillway 24 0 feet long. Th© waste gates at both reservoirs are opened whenever the water starts to run.over the spillways and are thus generally open during th© Winter and Spring. There is no way to hold back the floods DURING THE FLOOD.The conditions at the time of the flood wera very similar at the t-o regenroir8. The heavy rains of March 23 and 24 raised the level of the water three feet above tbe top of the spillway at the Lewistown Reservoir. 4 1-2 feet above the top of the spillway at the Loramie Reservoir.At both reservoirs the water was*8 deep ,n tbe ^Iley below the dam as in the reservoir above.- Two small breaks which started in the Loramie Reservoir banks were repaired within a few hours and before any damage was done.•1- Before the flood began the reservoirs were full, and after the* passed thfl reservoirs were still full, but during the flood the water was a few feet higher In the reservoirs than just below them. The conclusion is that tha reser-voirs did not add an inch to thef Lof the flood at Dalton, but that they probably did back thewater to a very small extent.
