The sections lettered " A " com prise the foundation blocks and con necting foundations for the piers themselves; " B " , the raised apion or baffle section, and " C " , the apron. A slide which threa’ened in section 30 did not occur until a fter the first p< ur had been made which was all the dam officials had betn afraid of. The slide was of small moment and quicklv cleaned up. The monighan is now engaged in taking out t h ; cribs for the ola cof- ierdam. The dragline w ill remove the roadway which leads down into .section 2C. and which the monighan used when it descended into and as cended from the cofferdam pit. It is expected that the north snore fishway will protect the ga n try crane trestle from slides along the bank. The trestle was not affected by the 1000-yard slide which otcurred a few weeks ago, but might be dam aged by similar slides in the future. R nkm i ■îat unlay fined M L Mor- jean <.f c RJ« ;o¡.
