BUILDING a DAM ON END.
Unique Construction of Concrete on
Niagara's Brink.

From the Western Electrician.
To build a dam in the form of column.
standing on one end, and put it in place
by tipping it over into the water, is GER
tainly a curious feat of engineering. This
method has been adopted, however by
the commissioners Of Victoria Park, on
the Canadian side at Niagara, to assist
the Niagara Falls Park and River Rail
way Company and the city of Niagara
Falls, Ontario, in securing a sufficient
depth of water in their joint intake in Vic
toria.
The Niagara Falls Park and River rail-
way is the electric line that forms a part
of the Niagara Gorge Belt Line, as it skirts
the top of the cliff on the Canadian side
al Niagara. Frequently in the past it has
been troubled with a lack of water sup
ply to operate the turbines in its power
station, as it controls power rights in Vic
toria Park. The city of Niagara Fails,
Ont. takes it's water supply from this
intake, and there have been times when
It has been forced to call upon the officials
of Niagara Falls, n. Y, to supply it with
water by means of line of hose laid
across the lower steel arch bridge All
these conditions have been quite annoying
both TO the railway company and the city,
and the complaint was made to the COM
missioners of Victoria Park that the water
at the Joint intake had been lowered by
works of construction for power develop
ment.
1t was under these circumstances that
the park commissioners consulted Mr..
Isham Randolph, consulting engineer of the
Chicago drainage canal, who has on several
occasions acted as consulting engineer for
the commissioners. Following the advice
of Mr. Randolph the park commissioners
have erected concrete column 30 feet high
and feet inches square on top of
trestle that stands twenty feet above the
ground level at the waterworks intake.
This ola fOnmn If is DFDDOSCJ 10 [
over into the river to act as dam de-
signed to raise the water level al the intake
considerably.
The concrete of which the column was
made was mixed of one part cement, three
parts sand and five parts stone. Its APP
proximate weight is 200 tons, and every
eight feet or so there is inserted wooden
wedge that has width Of foot at the
outside and which tapers to about six
inches near the center. The object of
these wedges is to break the column into
six parts as it falls Running through the
center of the column there is big chain
that weighs about SEQ pounds, and this
vii! hold the six pieces in which the col
umn is expected to break together. When
PROSTATE the column will be about twenty
reason an opening will be left between the
end OF the dam and the edge of the RIVER
in order that any ice which may be floated
down stream in front of the intake may
be carried away The column will be left
standing for about month to dry out,
and when thoroughly dry it will be tipped
by means OF jacks. The scene of the work
is hardly COO feet back from the brink of
the Horseshoe fall

The medicinal properties of books have

Plans of Improvement.

1t is Mr.. Livingston's purpose, well as
that of those with whom he is associated, to
eXpend upon this property about $4,000.
While this seems like a large sum for such
a purpose, yet it will not be any more than
enough to carry out the very comprehensive
plans of improvements which are. being con-
Sidered.
An independent water supply is to be Sc
cured by means of an artesian well. Then
a sewer system is to be laid and, the streets
are to be macadamiZed, substantial side
walks laid and trees planted, and electric
lighting is to be supplied. In addition, the
streets are to have twenty feet of parking
on both sides, that the entire distance
from house front to house front will be
over 100 feet. There are to be no lots less
than fifty feet front, and it will not he al

With such regulations and others, it is
hoped the property Will have a value that

Where the People Come From.

The owner of a large apartment house
which has just been completed was asked
the other day by an acquaintance what
success he meeting in getting tenants
for his rooms. The reply was that over
four-ffths of the suites had been leased
before the building was finished.
The next question was where the people
came from and who they were. 1t was not
the first time the owner of the building
had been asked the last question, for he
has found that there is great deal OF
curiosity on this very point. So surprising
has been the market for house accommo-
dations of all sorts that every one os aston
ished that in spite of the extensive additions
that have been made to the number of
houses and also apartment houses, the uni
form experiences should be that the quar-
tiers thus literally provided are taken and
there is a demand for more.
