Blow Out Wing Dam

The stone wing dam, which was
built under the Center street bridge
over the Iowa river, to control the
current while repairs were being
made on the mill dam, was partly re-
moved by explosives Saturday. Charges
Of powder were set Off among the
loose rocks which formed the crest OF
the dam, dislodging them so that the
crest of the dam, was lowered below
the water line. The top of the dam
was blown off, so that the ice, when It
breaks up in the spring, would not be
forced down the marrow gorge formed
