Work on the east and west abut-
nients is practically completed, accord
ing to winter schedule, and pouring
on the pumping plant is temporarily
held up on account of the accident on
Sunday which disabled the stiff-leg
derrick at the plant
AS the spillway approaches the

ing becomes necessarily slower and is
of more particular nature.
At this elevation the third ano
last set of outlet gates will be plac
ed in the dam, gigantic task which
will require the winter months Y
complete. So
BY March l., these gates and the
huge tubes. through the dam will b.
in place and ready for the spring ant

permit uninterrupted pouring Of con
crete to completion of the dam.
Bedford said that no complete shut
