DUE TO GREAT SNOW FALL The Village of Croton, One Mile Below the Dam, Is Threatened With De struction Should the Dam Break or the Reservoir Overflow. New Tork, March 2S. No breiik has yet occurred In the 15,000.000 dam forming the New Croton reservoir, which was menaced yesterday by a flood of water from the great Croton watershed. Workmen are reinforcing the structure nt all points of danger and a patrol has been established to give Immediate warning should a break threaten. The village of Croton land ing, with a population of 1100, Is one mile below. When engineers In charge of the reservoir learned of the flood they hur ried to the dam and threw open the gates, but the outflow to the Croton river and thence to the Hudson wiu insufficient to curry off the rapidly rls Ing waters entering from an area of 365 suunre miles and steps were at once taker to avert a break. It was expected thn the dnm ,vouU be completed late this summer. Ex perts had figured that It would take about two and a hair years for the reservoir to fill, so, lens than a month ago temporary gates were Installed and closed, the reservoir was denuded of houses, trees and brush were burned over and the basin was allowed to be gin filling. The great snow fall of the past win ter and recent rains brought about con ditions on which the engineers had not reckoned. The reservoir began filling with amaxlng rapidity. The dam is nearly a quarter of mile In length. With the unexpected flow it filled rapidly and reached the 100 foot mark before the danger was appreci ated. The maximum which the dam was Intended to hold when complete J Is 155 feet The engineers believe that the danger will be to protect the wo- men and children. SPRING CLEANING.
