Lake Logan Dam Concrete Pour Under Way Near Finish
Concrete work on the 404 acre Lake Logan project advanced with the control pipe pour and soon spillway work. Engineer J S Ingram said the pumpcrete can lay 20 cubic yards per hour and the dam could be finished in thirty working days if weather permits. The dam will be about 1100 feet long and 35 feet high with a new channel diverted for construction. Progress has been slowed by rain but the site is described as a beautiful asset to Logan and Hocking County.
