Dam Gates Stand Up to Flood Waters
The three gates of the new dam function perfectly despite heavy flow. John P. Jones of Citizens Gag & Electric Co says flashboards were lowered and gates set to the lowest level as river levels rose. Hundreds watched from Fourth Street Bridge as the flood created a dramatic view. A 40 foot log swept downriver lodged against a bulwark but does not hinder dam operation and will be cut free when normal levels return.
