SHING MUN DAM. LONDON STOCK

TO BE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.

SITE DECISION REACHED

We are given offcially to under stand that after a considerable amount of exploratory work in drilling for foundations the de- cision has now been taken as to the precise site and the type of dam to be built at Shing Mun.

The site adopted is considerably further down stream than the sito originally selected for exploration, and is below the high, waterfall in the gorge 'proper.

Thus in order to maintain the same top water level of the lake as that originally fixed, the dam has to be some 50 feet higher than would have been the case to build it had it been possible

above the waterfall, and it now becomes one of the highest dams in the world and actually, it is believed, the highest of its type no far designed."

Original Features.

Its design, while not completely original has several original fea- tures, and consists of concrete dam of a section which is of itself made unstable, but which is atable by a very heavy rock 11 behind it. The completed dam will necessitate the quarrying of approximately 1,000,000 tons of rock,

About half this quantity will be crushed for use in the concrete section and also in part of the rock fill, and the rest will be used in the form of large stones 4 to 5 tons in weight.

A final decision has not yet been taken with regard spillway, but this will probably be constructed in the form of a con- Gula

bell-mouth granite-faced crete about 100 feet in diameter with its lip at the top water level of the lake,

The flood-water will pass down the bell-mouth into a tunnel with about 16 feet diameter driven through the hill on the north side of the dam, discharging into the river downstream of the dam.

The decision with regard to the site of the dam was received from the Engineers in London last the local engineers week, and have already fixed positions for the necessary machinery and plant. It is hoped that the ex- cavation for the foundations will start in three weeks time, and be Paris,. ready by the end of the year.

Mrs. Polson fell under a rain of blows, and the fact that the five wounds she received were all on one side and in the same direc- tion suggests that she fell into a kneeling position, shielding the animal while it was being made the objective of a savage attack which was probably not intended for her in the first instance.
