REPAIR FLOOD DAMAGE
?lg Dam Held Water During Flood
and Submerged Power House.?
Repair Work In Progresa.
Newton.?Seven months after the
July flood smashed through the high
river bluff at the western end of the
greut Lookout dam on the Catawba
Klver the work of repairing the vast
damage Is still far from finished and
contractors are moving a mountain of
earth into the gorge of the new chan
nel of the stream. Steam ^ovels are
digging away the adjacent'hill and
dinky railroads carry the dirt to
trestles spanning the tremendous cut
Although the water has been blocked
from the new channel and has riser,
in the dam until sufficient height has
been attained to generate consider
able power in the power-house, it will
be months before the great plug in
the leak is completed. An Interesting
feature of the engineer's plans Is the
blasting away of as much as Ave feet
of the concrete dam. all along the
crest from one side of the river to the
other. The dam Is 86 feet high and
It held water during the flood until
1 the power house Itself was submerged
| and flooded. The blasting away of the
crest, it Is supposed, is to obviate that
trouble in case another deluge comes.
