Washington, Jan. 16—The War Department has approved the plans of the city of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for the protection of its concrete dam across Knobbs Creek just above the city, which will prevent the tide waters from entering the creek.
The structure will have swinging tide gates at the top to permit the escape of water in the upper reek in high water stages and also will have a special sluice when will permit the passage of logs. The creek is a tributary of the Pasquotank River.
