New Dam Will Change View Around Burlington Bridge
As construction proceeds on the new dam the river level is expected to rise six to eight feet from Burlington Street up to the Terrill dam. The authorities say flooding under spring rages will differ little from past years, and trees along the river may not be removed. Boat house relocation by Mr. Fitzgerald is under consideration near Market Street to improve boating access and river views for university life.
