THE $4,000 CITY BOND ISSUE.

Nobody should eonfound the
ordinance Of the Mayor and Board
lof Aldermen adopted Monday
might and the notice in today q
Leader Of its proposal to issue
$15, ,000 in bonds for water and
Hight improvements, with propo-
sition to make an entirely new
bond issue, independent of any
thing heretofore contemplated.
The fact of the matter is, that.
this is the. same proposal to is
sue bonds that the Board first
made In September, 1906. 1t is
the same bond issue once con
ditionalIy sold to the Commercial
Bank Of this city. and which was
|afterWard refused by the Bank on
the ground of an alleged legal de-
feet, and which was later condi-
tionally resold at the last March
meeting of the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen to John Nuveen e.
CO., Of Chicago, with the under
standing that if tie Chicago firm
found everything legal and regu-
lar about the issue, the bonds
were to be delivered and paid for
in May.
The attorneys of John Nuyeen
& Go. have now pointed out that
the original notice of the issuance
of these bonds, made in 1906, and
also the date Of sale, did not meet
the legal requirements as to
time, and SO they have directed
that before they will carry out
their part of the contract, the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
must pass new ordinance and
republish notice the required
legal length of time, before the
bonds be legally issued and
acceptable.
This is all there is to the appar-
emily new proposal to issue $15,-
900 Of bonds, and no tax payer
need become alarmed.

I expect to build a dam on a creek
for a saw mill. Dam will be about
100 feet long at top to raise the water
ten feet. /. What would be the cheap
est way of building the dam? .. viii
you give a plan OF such Il dam? ).
What size of turbine would be neces-
sary to run Il 4S-inch circular saw?
Ans.-rhe accompanying sketch
shows a crOss-section of the style Of
dam that would be required for this
purpose. Dams are sometimes con-
structed by a curbing of wood, mason
ry. or cement, the interior being filled
with dry stones. Such q dam is called
a rock-fll dam. If stone is plentiful,
the dam may be built entirely of ma
sorry. The top should be laid either
with plank " cement
AS the illustration shows, the dam
Is laid on bedrock. the bed rock being
blasted out sufficiently to secur Il key
and a solid footing generally. With
a ten-foot dam the base should be ten
feet wide. On the upstream side. the
batter or slope of the dam is about !
in 4, and on the downstream side the
upper part of the batter is about l in 3
and the lower part l in I. The dam
throughout it's length should curve up
stream, so as to present n concave sur
