Discussing this installment of his extension project, Mr. Hazen reports: Suggests Building Higher Dam Shuttle Meadow is a natural basin almost surrounded with high walls of trap. The floor of the enclosed valley is almost flat. The present reservoir is formed by a relatively low dam. By the reservoir can be increased. “Surveys were made to determine the capacity of the reservoir and the dimensions of a dam to raise the water 50 feet above its present level. It was found that this will increase the storage in this reservoir alone to/| the required 6,000 million gallons; and will permit a delivery in excess of the 18 million gallons per day that was taken at the starting point. “In working over the plan of the proposed dam, it occurred to me that possibly at some future time a stor- age capacity in the basin greater than 6,000 million gallons would be use- ful, and there is no apparent reason why the reservoir could not be bhuilt higher. Without setting a definite limit, a further increase of 30 feet, to 80 feet above the present flow line, with an approximate storage capacity | of 10,000 million gallons may be con- sidered. “The dam site is between masses of trap rock at either end. The few borings that were made disclosed red sandstone rock underneath the site at a depth of about 50 feet below the valley. These borings were numerous enough to de- | velop all the underground conditions, | and further borings along the center line of the proposed dam site will be needed before plans can be made. “The material above the rock at the dam site ranges from clay to sandy material, with fragments of broken rock and boulders, The amount of clay found is not large. The bulk of the materials are sandy, but the sandy material is different in its char- acter from that found at Whigville and Burlington. Sand Previous to Water “The Whigville and Burlington sand consists ‘of fragments of granite and hard rock. It is hard grained, clean and capable of carrying large quan- tities of water. The sand at Shuttle Meadow is red in color and has re- sulted largely from breaking down of the red sandstone; and it contains fine material that tends to fill its in-| terstices and render it less pervious to water. “The present dam holds water to a depth of about 25 feet. Your plan shows a cut off wall to a depth of from 1% to 18 feet. It is clear that no cut off trench was carried to the sandstone rock or any considerable | part of the way. Broadly speaking, this dam was built on the top of the debris in the valley., Itis substantiul-: Iy water tight. No seepage is found warrant the procedure, “Starting with the ldea that the dam will be unusually thick for its helght for the reason just mentioned, it is possible to dispose of the extra material in a way that will facllitate ralsing the dam to a still greater height, if that should be advantageous in the future; and in designing the dam these matters should be kept in mind, “Before working out the plan of the dam to be used, more information is necded about materials available for dam building in the neighborhood and about the materials underneath, “I"or the purpose of estimate, I have used a sketch of a section which seemed to meet these requirements, and which is large enough so that there can be no question as to its stability, “While the dam must ha made thick for its strength, its top need be| carried but a few feet above the pro- posed flow line as there {8 no catch- ment area to produce flood flows and the height of water in the reservoir will be subject to absolute control.” BIBLE GLASS WANTS MINISTER T0 STAY Asks Rev. A, B. Taylor to Recon- Sider His Resignation “The question of whether or not a man can live after death was asked and answered many times in the Old Testament, but every nation since the world began has believed in some kind f resurrection,” said Rev. John L. avis, in an address to Everyman's Bible class yesterday amorning, There were 857 men present, 247 of them being connected with the Masonic fraternity., A unanimous ris- ing vote was taken by the class, re- questing Rev. A, B. Taylor of nounced intention of resigning and leaving the city. There were 32 visitors present from Waterbury, Lakeville, Milford, Hart- ford, Bridgeport and Fast Hampton, Connecticut; Salem, N, Y.; Fall River, Mass,, and Montelair, N. J. Warren Cook, son of the Rev. Warren 1 Cook, formerly of this city, but now of Montclair, N. J.,, was introduced to the class. 75 Coming From Sprmgficld. It was announced that 75 members of a Springfield, Mass,, class would be here next Sunday and had written for parking space for 20 automobiles. Rev. Mr. Davis in her sermon on the resurrection explained how the ancients believed in a material life after death but said, *“Jesus Christ sibwed this world that life after death is a spiritual life.” *Jesus Christ proved immortality by rising himself from the dead, he brought immortality from darkness to the light of a better understanding. “Christ said to Thomas, ‘You be- lieve you have seen. Blessed are they that believe who will. never have the privilege of seeing*.'* " The speaker quoted D¥. Lyman Ab- bott in his statement that “The restr- rection is the best attested happening that took place in that century.” Concluding his sermon pointing out the reasons why he believed in the resurrection the minister said, “If you know I'm wrong do not tell me, I'm getting more fun out of it than you who are right, so let me alone. “The Bible is the only book for a dying man and we'll all be dying men soon,” he said. The nest of the Baltimore oriole is of sufficient strength and durability, s0 that if a number of them were fastened together a protective gar- ment could be made that would be fairly durable. below it.

For the left bank no al- lowance is necessary as trap rock is exposed practically at the surface, “The estimate of $300,000 for cut off works is a large item, and it rests part of the estimate may well be re. considered after results of further borings are available, Dam Blessing and Menace “The Shuttle Meadow reservoir is very close to New Britain, which is advantageous in many ways, But it is also above it and in case of break the released water would pass through a part of the ecity. condition it is prudent to make the dam thicker than would be consider- ed necessary in another location.

H Before the klansmen could start their march toward the pulpit they were put to rout, and in an exciting sorimmage outside the church several | lost part of their regalia. Steps were taken yesterday afternoon by Attorney Elmer L. Kidney, a mem- ber of the official board of the church, looking to prosecution of the klansmen. Feeling over the incident is {n-| tense and it was said last night that even in the Bellevue church there is a division of sentiment regarding the treatment accorded the visitors. There | is unanimity, however, that the pas- | tor of the church, the Rev. R. B. Urmy, handled the situation with de- cision and tact. Told to Uninusk or Go. The church, one of the largest in the Pittsburgh conference, was crowded for, the Easter service. Bap- tism had just been administered to several candidates «nd the organist, D. M. Phillips, was playing the offer- tory when six figures in white en- tered the west and vast doors of the auditorium. Almost before their presence was noted they had formed groups at: the rear of the aisles. They. were standing thus, appar- ently waiting for a signal from their leader, when Mr, Kidpey, passing a collection plate, stopped and ordered them to leave. I shall have to ask you to retire,” agreed Dr. Urmy. “You are disturb- ing the services here, which is a violation of the law. You will be perfectly welcome to remain if you remove your disguises. Otherwise you must go.” The klansmen hesitated a moment, then moved toward exits. Mr. Kid- ney, -followed. Seizing one of the vis- itors, said: “You are under arrest.” Lo Part of Regalia. The klansman broke from the law- ver's grasp, losing part of his robe. The group at the rear of the other aisle, where W. R.
