WEXLER SERVICE TO BE THURSDAY Explains Construction Cofferdam ADMINISTRATION CITY, March -Plans for the construction of the cross-river cofferdams were explained by S.

H. Woodard, consuiting engineer for the MWAK of New York at the Paul Bunyan club meet here Monday night. Woodard, who is generally regarded as one of the outstanding cofferdam engineers in the world, said the coffer would consist of a series of timber cribs, one against the other, reaching from shore to shore. Each crib will have a water passage equal to onehalf of the crib's area. These passages will let the water through during the diversion stage.

The cribs will be filled with gravel and sand and slowly the openings will be closed as the water turned inside the west cofferdam. After this stage has been reached, cribs will be built higher and the face of them lined with steel sheet-piling. With this completed, the company will then dump large amounts of gravel and sand and rock against both sides of the cofferdam, Woodard said. BULWARK READY FOR HIGH WATER COULEE DAM, March -The 1000 feet long east shore cofferdam was completely filled at the end of the day's shift Tuesday. Gravel and sand was dumped between the two timber walls comprising the coffer and the bulwark is now ready for the first of the spring flood waters.

The timber piling and braces were completed last fall but no fill was deposited until this week. It has been estimated by MWAK engineers that 30 days' working time will be gained by the construction of the coffer. It was felt that to build another giant cofferdam such as the west shore obstruction was too expensive for the amount of time gained. Three large tubes have been built through the walls of bulwark so that the area inside the timber wall may be flooded when desired. Equalization of pressure of water on both sides of the framework is to prevent the river from demolishing the structure during flood stages.
