Elephant Butte, n. NJ, Nov. 2O.-The
construction program heretofore out
lined on the dam has been consistently
followed. and progress about as antic-
mated. BY the end of the month the
masonry block now being worked on
will be up to the level Of the river bed,
and work will be suspended until the
balance of the masonry has been
brought up to the same elevation
The placing OF masonry with one
galloway has continued with systematic
Increase OF efficiency both IN men and
plant New records are continually be-
ing made, and, while the average daily
output has not greatly increased on
account of minor plant defects or linz
tied supply of the quarry in its present
state of development, the higher rec
Ords are Of interest, as they are IN
dicatixe Of what may be expected when
governing conditions have reached their
most efficient stage. This will be when
the quarry has been more fully de-
veloped and the entire bottom foun-
dalton prepared, which viii enable the
three cableways to be used in placing
the masonry.
Fast Days Work.
The best days run on masonry work
was on November z, when the middle
galloway made 245 round trips in 10 y
hours, the time Of the working shifts,
OF a round every 3.S minutes. This is
slightly less than the calculated time
required, knowing the distance trav-
eled, the limiting speed of cableways
and allowing q very few seconds for
changing szips. which indicates prac-
tically no lost time and the highest eff
ficieucy on the part Of all men en-
gagged in the operation During this
time, So cubic yards of concrete and
IS cubic yards Of large rock were
placed. total Of 740 cubic yards of
masonry. During the month October
Is to November 80 Il. 400 cubic yards
Of masonry was placed, which makes
total TO date of $4,000 cubic yards.
Excavation Continues.
Excavation for the foundation has
continued without interruption, but
methods have changed as conditions re-
quired. Until October Il, grab buckets
were used on the two outer cables. ex-
cavating gravel and sand for use as
grab bucket on the upstream galloway
was replaced with skips. and the cable
way used for handling muck and IN
sound rock from foundation. On No
Vember the grab bucket was taken
off the downstream galloway and re-
placed with skips, sufficient gravel
having been placed in storage for fu-
ture use The excavation from now on
will be confined to preparing the fOun-
dalton for the dam.
Abutmenf Excavation.
Excavation at the east abutment has
continued with one derrick. working
two shifts, the material being loaded
BY hand into slkips and transported by
cars on the lower railroad. The derrick

ner, who tipped 202. Chatham's total

MAY EXTEND Time
OF GOLF TOURNEY
Large Fields in Jersey Classic
Have Made Additional Day
Imperative.
BALTUSROL CASE. CITED

It is an open question among the
officials and members OF the New Jer-
sey State Golf Association as to
whether the time has not arrived for
the extension of the length of the
tournament from three to four days.
In recent years the fields have been SO
large that it has been impossible to
run off the qualifying round of eigh-
teen holes and the first round of
match play on the first day.
In fact, 1t was only this year at
Baltusrol that 1t was necessary to put
over for a day the first match round
of all divisions except that in which
the championship was involved. 1t
has been suggested that 1t would be
advisable to follow the example of
the Metropolitan Golf Association and
extend the tournament over a period
of four days. This matter will be
presented for consideration at the an
nual meeting, which will be held on
Tuesday, January 81. The Arcola
Country Club has been mentioned as
the possible scene of the next tourna-
ment.
