GARRISON DAM IS NEAR the half-way stage with the end of this construction season. The eight tunnels are complete. The entire west side of the embankment has been brought amost to full height. The stilling basin and powerhouse foundation are about 38 per cent complete and will be finished in 1953 in time to permit diversion of water through the tunnels. A contract has been effected with the Soo Line for relocation of their track onto the Snake Creek embankment, which will also carry US highway 83 when it is relocated. A cemetery has been moved from Snake Creek area to Garrison.
