Dam Conference Reports.

The reports from the engineers who have been holding conferences for the past month in connection with the proposed dam across the Charles River will probably be presented to the committee the latter part of this week. The expert engineers have been examined by Mr. J.R. French of Providence, who has recently been appointed head of the water works in New York. The petition that the time be extended has been granted by the State Committee on metropolitan affairs, so that the report of the Dam Commission will not be presented until the next session of the legislature.

This summer, the commission will make special efforts to examine the temperature of the basin, the currents and the tides and how much danger there is of causing malaria by constructing the proposed dam.
