Re-building Milling Co.'s Dam

RE-BUILDING MILLING CO.'S DAM

The Michigan Milling Co. have begun the work of rebuilding their dam, which went out two weeks ago, and are busy driving the spiles for the false work. The company intend that the rebuilt dam shall be as strong as is possible to make it.  It will be constructed of concrete and portland cement and every care taken to have it so that a repetition of the recent disaster will be impossible.

The Milling Co. are still trying to figure out how the recent mishap could have occurred. A thorough examination has been made of the substructure of the damaged dam and in every way it appears to be perfectly sound and judging from appearances it should have stood for years. The only tenable theory is that the destruction was due to something else than the weight of the water held by it, and the company will use every endeavor to discover if it had been tampered with in any way.
