TbeJohnstown disaster reminds New^York to again consider the plan for Its own^proposed dam. The Times thus speaks of^It: ^It is proposed to construct, at the^lower end of the c. ton valley, not quite^two miles from tne Hudson river, a^masonry dam 1,900 feet long at the top,^270 feet high from bedrock to parapet, or^something like 100 feet higher than any^other dam in existence, and nearly four^times the height of tbe Conemaugb dam.^Behind this great barrier would be con^fined slake containing five thousand million^cubic feet of water, forming a lake sixteen^miles long, receiving the entire rainfall of^a watershed of SSI square miles. This^body of water would be thirty-five f. et^above tide level at the bottom in its deep^^est part and 290 feet at its surface. Tbe^maximum recorded Hood of the Croton^river, measured at the Croton dam, is one^thousand and seventy million cubic feet of^water in twenty-four hour*.
