London -Tale report of the interna-
tional technical commission on the
raising of the Assuan Dana in Egypt
has now been Published here, wtili the
news that its recommendations have
been accepted by the Cairo Govern-
ment and will now be put into effect
The commission finds that. the dam
has been so strongly constructed,
strutted., and upon such excellent
foundations, that it can safely bo
raised by no less than 291/2 feet.
Iii making the recommendation, the
commissioners say they keenly appre-
ciate that the security,health and hail=
piness of more people Mian ever be-
fore depend almost entirtly upon the
safety of the dam, but taking this into
consideration, they still hold that this
great work should be clone.
The Cairo Cabinet has decided. to
Intrust its supervision to Sir Mur-
doch Macdonald, the engineer re-
sponsible for the splendid original
work, subject to his accepting all the -
conditions laid down by the commis-
sion. It is understood that, as a re-
sult of the heightening of the Assuan
Dam, it will be necessary to strength-

he saw two horsemen dash around the
cabin to the centre of the herd: The
sheep were in a panic almost instantly.
