Within a period of a few months the little city will be located on a site two miles from its present location. Construction of the great Miami valley conservancy district, at a cost of approximately 135,000,000, has necessitated the removal of this little city.

The building- of a dirt road, over which Osborne will make its trek to a new site already has been completed, and buildings in the little business district are being razed. Homes are being demolished or taken down, piece by piece. The citizens of of the glad that has arrived. In their new homes the they will be assured that no repition of the 1913 flood will ever come. When the flood of 1913 ripped into Dayton, Osborne also was flooded.

When the citizens of Dayton and those of other towns and districts in eight adjoining counties banded themselves together to make the Miami valley for the Miami valley conservancy district; which is a court or government unto itself was formed under laws of the state of Ohio. Will Build Ftvc Dams. The scheme for preventing a repi- tition of the 1913 floods was worked out by Arthur E. Morgan and associates. It called for the construction of five great dams in the district, 1 UNDREDS of men are being kept steadily bnsy on the construction of the five hujse dams designed to prevent a repetition of the disastrous flood thnt In 1913 caused the loss of many lives and the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property In territo ry surrounding Dayton, Ohio.

Giant cranes are employed to remove the millio ns of cubic feet of earth on the site of the dams. The accompanying photograph shows a strip of terr itory that is beinji converted to use by the Miami District Conservancy in the construction of the preject. with a system of outlets or spillways, which would release the water behind the dams in such quantities that the streams below the dams would not be overloaded. The dams have been completed. They are gigantic structures, and they withstood the test of this spring in such a manner as to convince even the most skeptical of the wisdom of the plan.

Thirty-seven feet of water backed up behind some of the dams, which could have accommodated 100 feet more of water without danger. There was but one town within the district which lay directly below one of the dams. The law creating the district required that the town be made safe in the future. Only two ways to do this possible. One was to build a dam completely around the town.

The other way was to move The schedule for preventing a repe- the town bodily to higher ground, some distance away. This was regarded as the cheapest and best method of solving the problem. District Buys Property. The conservancy district then bought the property of the entire town, through condemnation proceedings, and resold the buildings to the ers who wanted them. A few there were who decided to go along with the old town to the new site and build new homes.

This was done in a number of cases, the old buildings being abandoned for disposal as the district may see fit. It was a money making deal for the owners, as they made about through the double transaction. The new town site was sel4cted by a holding company known as the Osborne Removal company. The new site was platted, sidewalks constructed, streets laid out, trees planted, gas, water and electric lines put in, a location set aside right in the center of the business district for a public park, fountain, shrubbery and other things that to make up a regular civic center. A town hall costing $14.000 which will be the seat of government and home of the fire department, is under way as is a $45,000 school building.

The new water works system will cost $36,000 when completed. Houses Arc Moved. Of the 175 houses in the town nearly all will be jacked up and moving paratus inserted under them. They then will be trundled to the new locations and set upon the new foundations. The removals are to be made without disturbing the families or contents.

In building the five great dams it was necessary to move 25,000,000 cubic yards of earth by wagon and hydraulic power. The fills were made by slicing earth and gravel along what is known as the core of the dam. It is composed of the finer particles of the filling, with the outer slopes consisting of the coarser sands and gravel. In nearly every case the dams are 1000 or more feet through at the base. On top of each dam there is a roadway 25 feet in width, from which one can get magnificent views of the basins behind the dams and the runways and streams down the valleys tl which flood waters pass without menacing towns and cities below.
