1t is question Just at present
whether there will be any further work
done this season on raising the height
Of the Augusta dam. because of the
water in the river, which is vet too
high on account Of the recent rise to
allow of resumption of operations.
The divers who had been working on
the dam job and were obliged to knock
off on account of the rise of water will
go no further with their work, and if
operations on the dam are resumed
this season the work will be done by
local help.
