SACKETT REPORTS
FAvORABLY ON DAM
Council Committee Will Hold
Session Tonight to Go
Over Matter.
REASONS FOR BREAKS
Given By Consulting Engine
er-Little Objection
Now Expected.

A favorable report on the Hawkins
dam was received today by Harry
Gennett, an official of the Starr Piano
company from Robert l.. Sackett, a
consulting engineer of Purdue univer-
sity who made an examination of the
plans of the dam recently when he
was in this city. In the report Mr..
Sackett stated that there was little
danger of the proposed dam breaking
and that should it break, the wave
which would be caused by the release
of the water would not be higher than
eighteen inches above the normal at
the Starr Piano company's factory.
The committee of council, appointed
to make an investigation will take the
matter up at special meeting to-
night.
It is not expected that Starr Piano
company officials will take any action
towards stopping the construction of
the day The company's representative
will attend the meeting tonight.
The report is now in the hands of
Councilman Will Bartel, chairman of
the committee. He says that the final
decision will be made tonight or Mon
day and that it probably win be IA
vorable as the members of the com
mittee believes that the lake and park
will be an excellent thing for the city
and attract many people from other
cities.
In his report, Mr.. Sackett outlined
causes for the failure of concrete
dams. He also stated that, if the dam
is constructed as was outlined in the
plans, there would be no danger of
failure and that the dam would be-
come stronger after construction.
The reasons for breaks in concrete
dams as given by Mr.. Sackett are as
follows:
Sliding out of entire dam, caused by
water pressure from above; the fall
of the spillway due to inferior work
manship in construction; failure of
the steel re-enforcements; and water
seeping around the ends of the dam.
The failure of the dam from water
seeping around the ends has been the
cause of fear of the city officials and
manufacturers in the river bottom Mr.
.Sackett dispelled these fears in the
report by saying that danger from this
source would be entirely eliminated
by the proposed construction of the
wings on each side OF. the DAM
The water escaping from the lake
through the failure of the dam would
rush through the river bottom in a
wave. The wave from the release oil
the 800 acres of water, according to
Mr.. Sackett, would be from II to Is
inches in height and that after the
water had traversed short distance
this would be lowered. Ten miles be
low Richmond, Mr.. Sackett reports
the raise would be scarcely precepti
