an engineer living on Vernon place, Orange.
has made public plan for a cheap and
practical solution OF the problem OF pro-
venting such floods as have occurred in

be carried into effect for 100000, and so
confident is he that he says he Will guar
antee the result for that amount.
The remedy that Mr.. Labadie suggests
is o canal starting between the Dundee
Dam and the city Of Paterson and running
four miles across country to the Hackensack
River. which parallels the Passaio River.
Residents Of Paterson say that the Dundee
Dam backs up the water in time Of dood
and causes the inundation of their city
They say the Dundee Dam must be broken
down. but Mr.. Labadie points out that it
furnishes power to a large number OF fac
tories in Passaio and that It's abandonment
would mean a heavy loss.
