Completing New Power City Dam
American Falls July 26 The Southern Idaho Power Company began completing the dam to divert Snake River flow through the plant. About 200 feet remain to close the gap and form a horseshoe weir. A force of men and temporary trackage are on site, with a cofferdam to permit construction. It will take about forty days to finish the dam, but a new unit may not be installed this year due to Kuhns’ financial issues. Dynamite is clearing the present wasteway while the project proceeds.
