Elephant Butte dam. including all its

Work TO 60 over 10 Winter
The design of the dam calls Tor
certain number of blocks TO ne com

other blocks can be completed al any
time. In winter the concrete then IN
Mace becomes cold and shrinks TO ITS
smallest volume. The spaces leII by
the winter blocks are then rapidly
Tilled. There can be no separation OF
blocks as the main mass is hrunh ana
the filters are placed at low IempeId-
lures In summer there is expansion
of every block. but in place OF belns
manifested in movement Of the dam, II
IS expressed as stress IN the concrete
Force Is Reduced.
This system of placing certain blocks
during the winter has been followed
heretofore, and in order 10 continue
this il was necessary - slow down the
concreting on April ! to such a pace
that certain blocks WOULD be left until
next winter. The force has been re
iuced from s3S to 45l during April, and
concrete is poured only on one shift
with one crew.
While the concretinE speed has been
reduced. work on the spillWay and the
embankment is being rushed. The spill
way force works three shifts, and has
moved about 5000 cubic yards during
the month In this way il has been pos
sible TO slack work on one feature and
hasten other, maintaining at all times
the maximum force that can be en-
ployed TO advantage. This avoided the
necessity Of providing living sccommo-
dations for a force large enough TO
carry on all features at one time, and
