Dam Committee Find Gate Stuck HINSDALEThe dam across the Housatonic River received the attention of the Fire District's prudential committee all day Saturday.

A spokesman for the group stated, however, that the leaks were not all fixed because a winch is required to pull the gate out of the jamb which is lined with heavy railroad track sections. Committee members reported that there are no leaks In the dam Itself or underneath It. The water is still high. according to committee members, and causes a great pressure on the gate hampering its removal. Asked why the dam leaks now when It didn't leak before late last week, committee members explained that the gat.

lined tight into the jamb at first but that since then the wood had shrunk and and warped. The water In the river above the darn has almost reached its pre-dam level, exposing the ends of the sewers once again, but members of the prudential committee revealed that they had purposely opened the gate to lower the water and allow repair of the leaky jambs.
