The Debris Directors, accompanied 1 by several citizens, spent yesterday viewing the proposed location of the’ debris dam on the Yubariver. The west side was visited in the forenoon and the east side in the afternoon. Plans have already been drafted but the Board will not take formal action thereon until after farther consultation is held: A brief outline of the.plans for the first dam shows that it is to be built from one bluff to another ow the opposite side of theriver, a distance of over 5,000. feet, . . and thehight of it is intended to eventually be over forty feet. Just above the proposed location is a valley between the hills something like. four square miles in area. It » claimed that the’ water being ok ad by the dam, the debris and sediment contained thefein must spread allover this gorge and settle therein, and that a natural grade will be formed extending back up the river for six miles, even to such an extent that the upper end may be higher than the dam. It is estimated that when the dam is completed to its ful _ hight the river in flood time, running across the entire upper surface, cannot be more than one foot_in “depth.

The Debris Directors, accompanied 1 by several citizens, spent yesterday viewing the proposed location of the’ debris dam on the Yubariver. The west side was visited in the forenoon and the east side in the afternoon. Plans have already been drafted but the Board will not take formal action thereon until after farther consultation is held: A brief outline of the.plans for the first dam shows that it is to be built from one bluff to another ow the opposite side of theriver, a distance of over 5,000. feet, . . and thehight of it is intended to eventually be over forty feet. Just above the proposed location is a valley between the hills something like. four square miles in area. It » claimed that the’ water being ok ad by the dam, the debris and sediment contained thefein must spread allover this gorge and settle therein, and that a natural grade will be formed extending back up the river for six miles, even to such an extent that the upper end may be higher than the dam. It is estimated that when the dam is completed to its ful _ hight the river in flood time, running across the entire upper surface, cannot be more than one foot_in “depth.
