Hearing on the Dam.

Two reports on the feasibility of the dam were presented yesterday at the public hearing of the Charles River Dam Commission. No stated decision was reached, but the statement of the Cambridge city engineer showed conclusively that the building of a dam would benefit the working of the sewerage system. The first report directly in favor of the dam was read yesterday by the Metropolitan Park Commission urging its construction on the ground that it would beautify the river and add to its utility.

The public hearing will be continued today from 10 to 1, as the reports of several boards still remain to be read. The Dam Commission will then adjourn until January 27, when the next hearing will be held.
