Another Hearing on the Dam.

The Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives gave a hearing yesterday morning on the advisability of appointing a committee to pass upon the construction of the proposed Charles River dam near Craigie Bridge. Mr. J. J. Storrow '85, who represented the petitioners, explained that nothing was asked for save a thorough investigation of the question. Mr. Cox, chairman of the Cambridge Park Commission, and Mr. J. J. Fitzgerald of Boston also spoke in favor of constructing the dam. The committee adjourned the hearing at noon without giving a decision.
