A DAM THAT SEEMS IN DEMAND. 



The Ambursen Hydraulic Construction 

 Co. reports contract with the Auglaize Con- 

 struction Co. for the construction of Devel- 

 opment No. 1 on the Auglaize River, near 

 Defiance, Ohio. The dam is 28 feet high 

 and the total length of the concrete struc- 

 ture, including the power house, is 555 feet. 



The Ambursen type of dam has been 

 adopted by the War Department of the U. 

 S. government for the dam which they are 

 about to build across the Mississippi River 

 between Minneapolis and St. Paul. As the 

 dam will be built directly by the government 

 on force account, the contract with the Am- 

 burson company takes the form of an ade- 

 quate royalty. 



The Ambursen Co. is also building two 

 dams for the Department of Irrigation in 

 Porto Rico. One on the Jacaguas River 

 near Guayabal is 115 feet high and 1,200 

 feet long, and the other on the Coamo River 

 is 62 feet high and 600 feet long. These 

 two, in connection with. the 125-foot dam 

 for the Porto Rico Railways Co., near San 

 Juan, makes three heavy pieces of work 

 now under construction in Porto Rico by 

 the Ambursen Company. The plans for still 

 a fourth dam are now in preparation.
