affords a supply sufficient to fill the dam in little more than an hour Starting with a five foot depth ot water, tests have been made with increasing depths to the top of the dam.
 Water Pressure Until Breaks
 Plans are being made to build the structure 100 feet high. using only the 1-2 feet thickness of concrete and steel which now ex- tends from 30 feet above it's base to it's present top of 60 feet Water will be admitted behind the dam and lasts made until the structure breaks from the pressure.
 In building the dam effort was made to use concrete of average proportions, with one part cement, three parts sand and two parts rock, with usual steel reinforcing. Proportions Of the structure are lighter than those ordinarily en- ployed in dams intended to im- pound water. It is hoped that the tests will afford exact information as to stresses, both internal and external, which will make possible economies In future construction.
