tenn, however. or anything
approaching it in magnitude is out OF
the question, not only on grounds of
expense, but for the reason that the
crest of the dam above the sluice must
be occupied by the machinery tor rails
ing the gates, making it unavailable
for the discharge of flood waters.
For these reasons it appears to me
that the question of Sluices in the dam
for the purpose of controlling the ac-
cumulations of sediment in the pond
is not matter for serious considera-
ton. Even from the point OF view OF
temporary convenience | have not
thought it worth while to consider
sluices comfortable at will. The OPEN
ing and closing of such sluices under
a head of thirty to sixty feet is u
formidable operation requiring power
full machinery, which it would be very
difficult to apply while the work was
in process of construction. The only
sort of sluice that | have thought of is
one to remain open during the entire
process of the work and then be inally
closed. such a sluice would have
these advantages: 1t would secure
the work under construction from in
trusOn of water, during low stages of
the river and it would afford better
facilities for the inspection of the up.
stream face. On the other hand it is
to be Observed
|. That such sluiceS do not secure
the dam from liability to overflow in
time Of floods, and do not permit the
use Of any appliances or methods in
consistent with the liability.
.. Through the progressive raising
of the water, as the dam advances,
would enable the contractor to use
boats for the handling of stone, and
to procure stone from considerable
distance up the river; advantages far
outweighing those to be expected
from the sluices.
B. 1t is in contemplation to dis
charge the . low water flow of the
stream through gaps or depressions
in the masonry of the dam. Then to be
closed from time to time by such means
as will readily suggest themselves,
and the water allowed to rise and es-
cape through other depressions at q
higher level, while the masonry of
the former openings is being carried
up. Such openings being in sight and
accessible are much less liable to OBJ
structions and more readily manage
able than inaccessible sluices.
4. AS regards inspection, this ar
rangement will not make it impos-
sible, but will demand closer atten-
ton and greater promptness on the
part Of the inspector.
These several points duly consid-
cred, l do not think it will appear adj
visable to introduce sluices into the
DAM
Mr.. Bogard, the expert engineer
brought here by the board, made a
written report to the board, in which
he took the same position as Mr.
FriZell.

Laing & smoot Secure an Injunction Re-
straining the City Councils Action.
Special to The Statesman
DALLAS, Nov. IA few days ago
the city received $97, 600 as the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of $lO0,000 worth Of
the water supply bonds. The money
received was being transferred to the
general account, and word was given
out that on Monday the various en-
ployes Of the city would receive two
months back pay Of the three now
due. Today Laing g. Smoot applied to
Judge Burke for writ of injunction,
alleging that the city of Dallas is in
debted to them in the sum of $l1 $50
and that the same is due for work
done to improve the waterworks. The
bonds were issued as waterworks i'm
provement bonds. A temporary re-
straining order was issued and the APP
plication was set for final hearing next
Monday. A bitter fight will be made
in order to keep the money received
from being used for any other purpose
than specified on the face of the
bonds,
Mayor Conner called ameeting of
the local fire insurance agents this at
| ternoon. For some time the council
has been working on the water works
improvements. Mr.. Conner wishes the
insurance companies to at once restore
the Old rates OF insurance in vogue
before the 80 per cent advance in lieu
of the increased protection guaran-
teed under the proposed improve
ments. The insura ce men say they
cannot make the reduction until the
protection is actually given by the
contemplated work being executed.

WHY N0Tq
A RAILROAD FROM AUSTIN TO vELAsCo,
AT THE MOUTH OF TIE BRAzOs.
A Line Projected at That Point AID Cem-
pany Organized Ten Years AgO-It
Will Pay to Revive the
Enterprise

Deep water at the mouth of the
BrazoS was believed to be feasible ten
years ago.
During the months of July and
August, 1881, Colonel S. G. Griffin, of
Keene, n. H., and Messrs. cambridge
Wadleigh, of Boston; Theo. IL. Wood,
of Nashua, n, H., and John II. But
tericl, OF Lowell, Mass, had an en-
gineer to carefully examine the
location. His investigation extended
to Corpus Christi, Rockpolt and other
points, and in his report he declared
that permanent deep water could be
easily secured at the mouth of the
Brazos, and he strongly recommended
the enterprise.
The gentlemen interested were
favOrably impressed and they trav-
eled over the country between the
mouth of the Brazos and Austin.
Their object was the construction of u
railroad, provided the government
could be induced to take hold of the
deep water problem at the mouth of
the Brazos.
They were delighted with the beau
tiful and fertile country between
Austin and Nelasco and after care
full investigation they organized in
this city the
AUSTIN AND SOUTHEASTERN
railroad company with capital stock
of S. ,000, 900 and on Aug. II, 1881, the
charter of the company was filed in
the office of the secretary of state.
The proposed line extended from
Austin through the counties of Travis,
Caldwell, Gonzales, Lavaca, Wharton
and Brazoria to Velasco with branch
to Bastrop and La Grange and one
from Gonzales through the counties
Of Dewitt, Goliad and Refugio to
Arkansas Pass.
THE INCORPORATORS.
The incorpOrators were s. G. Griffin
of New Hampshire, cambridge
Wadleigh, of Boston; Theo II. Wood,
New Hampshire; John II. Butterick,
Of Lowell, Massachusetts; Charles
Seepath, of New York; Hon. John
Hancock, Lewis Hancock, II. Bert
ram, II. w. Moeller, William Brug-
gerhotf, Walter Tips, Frank w. Glenn,
Oscar Samostz,J. Il. breckenridge and
j. j. Tobin, OF Austin; Hon. l.. j.
Story, of Lockhart; b. f. Dunn, Of
LAGRANGE and Hon. S. q. Patton, of
Hallettsville.
IT FAILED.
The gentlemen at the head of the ell.
terprise failed to get the government
to take hold Of the deep water project
at the mouth Of Brazos river and
they abandoned their railroad
enterprise. Since the deep water has
been secured at the mouth of the
Brazos the country has been settled
and everything is more favorable fol
the construction of railroad as con
templated ten years ago. VIII it not
be a good idea for the gentlemen who
were interested in the original enter
prise to revive it? At any rate it is
worth thinking about. Certain it is
that such a road would prove a pay
ing Investment and add much to the
prosperity of Austin.
