III UNIvlIlUllI
After several months work, the
big dam at the University of
Nevada is completed and
shortly water will be turned into
the reservoir. The cement work is
not dry as yet and this is retarding
the filling of the enclosure. A
sixty-foot embankment will be
constructed on both sides of the
dam in order to insure saufficient
strength to prevent a break. The
embankment will run clear to the
top of the dam. The dam covers
about two and one half acres of
ground. being about 200 feet long
and $50 wide. When filled with
water it will afford an excellent
place for boating, and in winter
will provide place for skating.
Fish will he placed in the water
and good sport will be afforded the
students after year or two. The
grading on the hill to the right of
the dam for landscape garden is
also completed and work will be
started at an early day for the
sodding and planting of grass.
When this is completed the univer-
sity grounds wilt be greatly i'm
proved in beauty.-Reno Journal.
