The tug is designed for use in
keeping the ice from forming on the
gates at the upper side OF the dam.
and it is thought that it will be badly
needed here this winter. 1t is not
designed to break through heavy ice
but rather to clear the ice away from
the gates as it starts to form and be-
fore it reaches substantial thickness.
This explains why the boat can not
be sent here from Alton despite the
four inch ice on the river.
although small, the boat was to be
very substantially constructed, having
