BUILDER EXPLAINS
AUSTIN DAM DEFECT
Relied Too Much on the Rock
Foundation, He
Says.

An explanation Of the reason the Aus
TIN dam, in Pennsylvania, collapsed last
September. carrying death and destruc-
ton OF property in it's wake, was given
today to the New England Waterworks
association, in convention at Congress
Hall. by T. Chalkley Hatton of Whining
ton. Del, who designed the dam. Mr.
Hatton's paper was not on the regular
program. but was heard with much in
terest by the engineers attending the
convention.
Mr.. Hatton attributed the failure Of
the dam to the fact that he had relied
upon the imperviousness of the rock
foundation in carrying out its construc-
ton. He also referred to the fact that
he had been limited in expenditures for
the dam construction to $4,000. He
. urged the need of a state dam inspector
to pass upon all plans for dams before
they are constructed.
Urges Unit in Building.
Mr.. Hatton said that the engineering
profession was not a unit on how to
build a dam and make it safe, and
still keep within economic bounds. He
said this was evidenced by the number
of dams which fail. both in this coun-
try and abroad, as compared with other
structures built by engineers which
fail
