a Better Way to Build a Dam
Having water around a sawmill is a good thing. It's easier to move logs and lumber, and put out fires. The Hume-Bennett Lumber Company found this site near good timber and decided a reservoir would make there operation more efficient. The problem was making a strong dam with as little material as possible.HM Number | HMTR4 |
