The greatest dam ever built for the production of power is that building at Spier Falls, on the Hudson river. It is of granite, 1,800 feet long and 156 feet high. Ten steel tubes having a diameter of twelve feet will load water to fifty-four inch turbines, each coupled to a 5,000 horse power generator. The cost will be $2,000,000.
