The Ozark Dam.

The beginning Of actual construct
ol the dam on the White River above
Forsyth marks a new period OF pros
perity in the history Of Taney county.
1t is by far the largest single piece Of
structural work ever attempted in this
section and with the increased number
Of laborers and skilled workmen brought
into the country, large benefit will
surely be felt by the county as whole.
The dam will be fifty feet high and
FIVE hundred and ten feet long not in
GLIDING dixie one thousand feet long
and will represent an expenditure Of
about $500, 900. There will be lake
formed some twenty miles long, which
will rival in expanse any stretch Of
water in this part OF the state.
The dam is being constructed by
the Ambursen Hydraulic Construction
Co Of Boston Mass, who are agents for
the White River Construction Co., and
is to be of the celebrated Ambursen
type which is rapidly becoming the
best known and most popular hydraulic
structure known to the engineering
profession. The very best .oi concrete
construction with steel reinforcement
will be used which renders the dam
perfectly safe at all times. The Am
bursen Co. is a model of modern busi-
ness efficiency, its methods are being
investigated and commended by large
corporations all over the world. Every.
thing possible is done for the comfort
and convenience Of the employees. A
visit to Camp Ozark on completion will
be sufficient to convince any one oI
the extent OF the company's interests
in its employees.
The work at the dam is in charge ol
Superintendent W. E. Maxon a man Of
rare capabilities and experience. His
assistants are Mr.. Gallagher genera
foreman Mr.. Mclean master mechanic
Mr., Galley, Office manager The en-
gineering department is in charge Of
Mr. S. Z. Rockwell who is daily ex
pected at the dam. His assistant.
now in charge Of the engineering are
Nj. R. T. Bailey and H. R. Sargent.
1t is expected that the dam will be
finished by November of next year ana
then Taney county will be the ideal 10
cation for manufacturing industries and
by far the best location in Missouri for
summer homes and hotels. ~
