Million Dollar WPA
Dam Collapses
Kansas City. Kan. Sept 21 fll.fi
The new 1 .000.000 Wyandotte
county dam was destroyed after
collapse of the center section of the
dirt filled embankment.
The dam, a WPA project five
miles north of here was 1400 feet
long and 80 feet high. Eight hun
dred feet of the center section sank
some 50 feet while subsequent cave
ins lowered most of the rest.
The Wyandotte county lake was
designed as a public recreation pro
ject. The dam was supposed to
form a lake 33 acres in area. It
was started in December, 1935. and
would have been finished in two
weeks.
Huge cracks, some of them two
feet wide, suddenly appeared along
the too of the dam. There were
low rumblings, and as the struc
ture dropped, a cloud of dust arose
that blinded Apectators. No one
was Injured, although two carloads
of sightseers and a night watchman
narrowly escaped being trapped in
the "earthquake."
Engineers said quicksand de
posits apparently were responsible
for the collapse.
