in accordance with my promise, I am
writing to you, the general plan for
making the core wall section of the
dam, and that portion of the dam
proper between Stations t and 4, 4.1
feet, impermeable. €
I have planned to test, the bottom
of the core wall trench, aa at present
excavated and inspected by yourself,
from the eastern end of that .trench
westward until said trench merges
into the cut off wall excavation, by
drilling holes 2% inches in diameter,
10 feet deep, spaced horizontally 6 feet
apart. \t the condition of any Qt said
teat holes indicate that wafer cornea
through or can be forced out under the
pressure test as outlined in my letter
to you dated today, then we plan to
grout the said permeable strata pene-
trated by such test hole, by means W
the patent grouting machine, which
will enable ua to force the grout under
any required pressure up to 100 pounds
per square inch. If this method falls
to stop the flow through the strata
penetrated by the test hole, we will
drill other holes of equal fixe and depth
3 feet on each side of the said hole,
and use the same method of grouting
as outlined above. If thia .falls to give
us satisfactory results, we will exca-
vate into the bottom of the core wall
trench and . stop the ''flow of water
through the strata permeated by some
other means, which, will be determined
according to the * conditions encoun-
tered.
When the bottom of the trench has
been made impermeable, according to
this scheme of procedure, we Will then

Before leaving for hia home in Dal-
las last night, the oily's consulting
engineer, A. C. Scott, expressed him-
seif as being pleased with conditions
disolosed at the dam and declared that
with the gravel problem solved, which
should be within the next week, prog-
less in construction should be very
rapid and very satisfactory.
His inspection had to do principally
with the. character of the rock foun-
dation uneovered at the bottom of the
core wall and cut off wall trench,
some eighty feet below the top of th*
headgate masonry now standing, and
on which these Important concrete
walls are to he founded. This is dne
of the most important considerations
in the whole rebuilding job, for there
■ is involved the question of seepage
under the tremondous pressure of the
lake—a question, as Austin people
know, which was a source of the grav-
est concern as long as the old dam was
standing.
The core wall excavation has been
carried to u depth this time twenty-two
feet lower than the footings of the
headgate masonry of the old structure.
The rock appears to be of homogeneous
regular formation, practically free from
"pockets" or cavities through which
large quantities of water might find
its way under pressure. Most of these
pockets appear to exlst at about the
