Tin* largest dam in Europe has
just been completed by the Prus
sian government on the Holier
river, a tributary of (he Oder, to
protect the province of Silesia
from disastrous flood'- and* to de
velop hydro-electric power. At:
Kenneth C. (Srant. desr.i ibes the
dam in the current number of
Engineering News. Th ; reservoir
behind it holds 1,7(55,00').000 con
ic feet, the length being 5 I ■ 4
miles and the greater! depth o.‘
water I5.'i feet. The dam is
feet high, curved up stream, and
t(>5 feet wide at the base. It suf
fices to impound the dainagi'ig
part of the flood waters, dis
charging during ftfudiels o i'y
what the channel below can cnrrv
without overflow.
Col. (iorgas, chief sanitary of
ficer of the Isthmus, resents the
statment that sanitation at Pan
ama has cost “five per ceil of the
total expense” of building the ca
nal. Sanitation proper, “the
cleaning-up of the Isthmus,” has
nothing to do with the mainten
ance of hospitals, dispensaries,
and other activities of the sani
tary department. Of course we
do not charge to the health de
partment of this city the expenses
of all the hospitals and the in
comes of physicians and nurses,
although this mistaken method
has been applied both by news
paper writers and by those in au
thority at Panama under the head
of “Sanitation.” Col. (iorgas
reckons that sanitation at Pana
ma has cost $400,000 a year—a
little more than a cent a day for
each man, woman and child in
the /one.
