T-bis was the report Wednesday of Fox, engtfledr with W. K. Dickson Company, who said ‘ that one-third of the earthen dam washed away during the heavy rains and floods two weeks ago. He estimated the big dam will be completed in six weeks. . “We lost”, said Fox, “between , 60,000 and 70,000 yards of dirt. This delays the work. It puts us ba(‘k to where we were before the flood.” He said that all repairs had been done and that construction is proceeding at a fast pace on both the dam and spillway. “As soon as the water level is receded”, he continued, “it should take four days to disconnect two diesel engines and take them to a diesel shop for disassombly and cleaning. With a little luck wo could possibly get off pretty close to our target date. Aim of putting the plant into service by mid-Septenibcr still remains, he said. Grading equipment is still mov ing dirt onto the principal por tion of the dam and work is pro gressing in the Dover Mill area of the project. Grading around the site area is moving right a- long and they are gc'tting ready to begin surfacing. Four big motirs which will pump treated water to Kings .Mountain arrived in New York from England rt'cently. The mo tors are enroute to a pump man ufacturer in Indianajx)lis for mounting and are scheduled to arrive in Kings Mountain by mid- Septermber or earlier. •^At the end of today we expect to be back where we were before the floods,” commented Fox Wed nesday. The new reservoir will bo Kings .Mountain’s primary source of water. The new treatment plant on Buffalo Creek near the rescr%'oir in its final s.iges of completion, will be aible to treat six million gallons of water daily, enough to meet the demands of the city and outside areas. WATER RESTRICTIONS All water restrictions should be lifted here by October 1st, said Mayor John Moss, who some weeks ago asked citizens to vol untarily cut down on use of wat er. In recent years, the city has fat'ed water shortages during the hot summer months. Tile new dam will back up water on Buffalo Creek and create a lake as largo as Lake Lure. -m'': AUSLEY TOPIC “An Open Mind” will bo the sermon topic of Dr. Paul Ausley at 11 o'clock morning worship serviees Sunday at First Presby terian church.
