FISH-WAY TO BE BUILT
OVER P.P.&L. DAM

Surveys having ,already been made
by l.. A. Henderson and specifications
having been drawn, the State Fish
Commission is preparing to serve pa
pers on the Pacific Power & Light Co.,
to require them to construct a fish lad
der l08 feet in length over their dam
on the Hood river, about mile and a
half from the city.
The old fishway was found by the
commission to be inadequate. 1t will
not permit the passage of the large
game fish that run up the streams in
the early spring. The old ladder is
only GO feet in length.
Tie new structure will be made of
tongued and grooved lumber and the
water will thus be better controlled.
The way will also be well protected
from high water. 1t will be nine feet
wide and will have a fall of one foot to
six and four tenths.
