Washing,on.-Orde for resumption
OF work on the Wilson dam were tele.
graphed army engineers by Major
General Beach. chief of the service,
who explained that there was now
available about 100000 for use on
the dam and the commencement OF
work in no way affected any OF the
offers pending before Congress for de
velopment by private interests of the
Shoals properties.
We are simply going to finish con
struction of cofferdam No. . at the
Wilson dam site" General Beach said.
By doing il now we will save a years
time"
1t was explained that the Tennessee
river was al a low stage now and the
Golfer dam could be brought to com.
pletion by next October ], when the
S7.500,000 appropriation authorized b!
Congress becomes effective for new
construction on the Wilson dam itself.
Work on the cofferdam would not be
possible when the river returned TO its
high water stage. General Beach said.
adding that if the opportunity was not
taken at this time. ii would be impos.
sible to begin work before next June.
When the cofferdam is completed"
General Beach continued. and the new
appropriation becomes available, we
can work in it. and on the dam itself,
throughout the winter"
