Johnstown, June 6.—A newspapei
man visited the broken dam Tuesday
afternoon. An excellent opportunity
was had for observing the break, and it
revealed an astonishing amount of cul¬
pability on the part of the owners of
this reservoir, and also of gross negleoi
on the part of the state officials, whose
duty it is to inspect and insist upon safe
conditionjif these large bodies of water,
lying, as many heads of them do, in dangerous villages.
places at the of populous
No Masonry Whatever.
The dam at Conemaugh lake was
nothing else than a common bank of
dirt It spanned the valley from moun¬
tain side to mountain side, a distance of
- y s oJ sey fl.fton I "X »mm 4
feet high- There was not a trowel stroke
of masonry in it, and just a big heap of
sand and clay, loosely piled to a great
height, carriage and only wide enough at its top
for a to drive across. On the
lower side this insignificant embank¬
ment was covered with a great mass oi
loose bowlders, which had no strength¬
ening effect whatever, and yet this
flimsy stroettire was expected to hold
back a volume of water nearly 100 feet
deep, almost four miles long, and with
an average width oi half a mile.
The wonder is that this frail structure
withstood the enormous pressure upon
it as long as it did. When the state
owned the reservoir and its storage was
used for canal purposes, the danger of
oonfiningsuchabody of water behind
any kind of structure whatsoever was
properly recognized and wisely provided
for. The state built five huge sluice¬
ways at the bottom of the bank capable
of draining the lake at sliort notice, if
necessary, and amply sufficient at all
times to carry any dangerous surplus of
water, and bo long as these sluice-ways
were in operation there was not a para¬
de of apprehension felt by the many
thousands of people living along ■ the he
valley, nor was there any danger to
heavy apprehended. rains exceeding Though there in the were quantity many
of the fall the recent rains, the sluice¬
ways of the dam prevented an undue ac¬
cumulation of water in the lake.
