last spring by party OF surveyors
who made headquarters at Lone Rock,
and the same party is now surveying
the proposed site of the dam. Land
has been purchased on both the Iowa
county and the Richland county sides
OF the river by the power company.
1t is claimed that the building OF
this dam will flood the bottom land as
far back as Spring Green, causing a
great loss of possible hay crops and
necessitating the cutting down of the
number Of cattle kept and stopping
some farmers from keeping any cattle
at all. All who suffer any damage
will no doubt be entitled by law to
full compensation.
