property about a mil east of acton and ball a mil northwmt of th spring prop erty th gully was closvd by con struction of a larg arthn dam about 33 feet li height and estimated to hold twenty five million gallons of tannery irwage last fall a 4-und- ary basin of wider and more shallow design was dammed off to take uk urplus front th main bed and was only partially in us the break mut have bern terrific i ires up lo lri inches in diameter mire uprooted and tossed along th course the secondary dam collaps ed and the water continued its mad course at dolly vardan three mile east th railway bridge ran full a height of approximately 13 feet too yards further down a cement brldg was taken froii its bed and thrown into the strram as th wall of vati snught er the banks fat mil along were strewn with refuse and edlment both from tke bed and gathered in the momentum of th rush down through umchouse proper ty along- th pa waa covv4 with th debris and it is said at stw- erttown seven mil below acton ther is still flood damage repair wart with municipal water restored the attention of messr lleardmore- and co officials was centred on restor ation ot th damage to their property and stopping the flow of filter bed water on monday the work of re pairing and rebuilding th dam was started men packed in bag of saitd to get working conditions possible hull dosers commenced the task of putting in fresh filling material lit plant in acton at present has sis hundred on the staff and if layoff is to be avoided provision must b made for disposal of tannery waste this not the first tlm that such a blow has bevn met twenty five rars ago a dam on a amall bed re leased a flow of water damage al that time was to farm properties al ong the course of the stream and t the fish in the stream since that time there has been no trouble in spite of the fact that the war pro duction of the plant was increased tremendouml and maintenance prob lems have been many clans tahaaww as far as can he ascertained no one saw the break occur in the dam or the release or the niter bed main tenance men had been in the district that day undoubtedly th heavy spring drainage and th frost 4alng the base of the dam were contribut ing factors to weakening the struct ure it is an unfortunate circum stance from a health propniy and slowing production standpoint it u difficult to estimate the damage sus tained for instance we hav neg lected to include from our field notes that th footing at the railway cul vert was washed badly on one side so it is all along the path of the wa ter the eitire damage has not been established and perhaps never will be it is remarkable the cooperation that was shown by all in th emerg ency there were a great many weary people from tteeve klrknti through the public service and mun icipal officers the staff and men of the demrdmore plant telephone oper atorsyes th whole community and a wide district ther was fin nelghborllness and helpfulness that made correction possible and again perhaps we should mention the fine support received from dr hero mr de laporte and the staff ot th ont ario department of public health sure we know we ve omitted many in huch a hnstv summary who contrib uted fine citizenship serv ice from bo soruts and school bov and girls almost down to the toddlers but km h emergencies bring but many fine qualities of helpfulness in
