Beginning of Industrial Development
The industrial development of
Augusta began with the building of
' the first Augusta dam in 1887. Over
.. a century and a half ago, about
where the present dam is now stu
ated, was long, low gravelly island
known as Cushnoc Island. 1t is rec
orded that as early as 1885 William
Howard, son of Augustus first per-
manent settler, declared a dam could
easily be built across the river at
this point. Occasionally in later
years the scheme of damming the
| Kennebec was mentioned, and in
1918 Ephraim Ballard, builder of the
second and third Kennebec bridges,
said that for $4,000 he could build
q dam across the river that would
stand. 1t was almost half century.
however, after the suggestion of Will
liam Howard that the project took
any form.

I'm 1917 the council authorized a

thought that the work would be

What the council thinks should
