Westlake Insurance PHONE 236-4391 -- ZURICH No Water Moving At Niagara Falls Visitors to Niagara Falls this summer are in for a double attraction. They'll see the waters of Horseshoe Falls taking their usual spectacular 170 -foot plunge And they'll have a once-in-a- lifetitne opportunity to view the American Falls bereft of water. Dewatering of the American Falls is part of an international study to determine what can he /clone to retard erosion and beautify the cataract. Work is scheduled to start June 2 on a rock and earthen cofferdam at the head of the channel leading to the American Falls. It will extend from the,U. S. mainland to the east end of.Goat Island, the land mass that separates Niagara's two major cataracts. By June 16 the American Falls will be dry, and dewater- ing will continue until Decem- ber. The horseshoe Falls is not involved in the survey. Work was done on it in the 1950's. The American Falls was the scene of major rockslides in 1031 and 1054 which deposited huge mounds of rock at the cataract's base, with smaller slides occurring from time to time. Once the cofferdam is installed, geologists and engineers will probe the river bed and the face of tlic cliff of the Aincricatl Falls to determine what remed- ial action should -be taken. Visitors will then have the opportunity to walk onto the dry river bed normally covered by Niagara River waters on their last tumultuous surge to the American Falls. Arrangements arc now being made to permit this unusual exploration.
