Columbia, April 22.—“We have al ready received inquiries from paper mills and othfer enterprises in regard -to buying power from the proposed Santee-Cooper river power and navi gation development,” Senator R. M. Jefferies, of Colleton, one of the spon sors of the senate bill, said here yes terday. The power could be sold without injury to private companies generat ing tl^eir own power, he added and would be sold to retail companies now in business. ^ “When originally planned in 1928, every bit of the power could have been sold,” the Colleton solon said. Mayor Burnet Maybank, of Charles ton, and other prominent State and national figures began conferences on the project at the national Democratic convention last June. The develop ment would cos t between $30,000,000 and $50,000,000. The self-liquidating project, which would receive its backing from the Reconstruct’on Finance corpoi'ation and direct federal appiopriaticn from the navigation posi .bilities, would form an artificial lake covering 78,000 acres in the Santee reservoir and 59,000 acres at the Pinopolis reser voir. It w uld be the largest single power development south of Niagara Falls. Only Swamps Flooded. T. C.

L :gar A-'will have to be acquired, out that nd of a ten-foot navigable channel 100 miles cut of the 148 mile s between Columbia and Charleston, while not adding to the cost of the project, excepting the provisions for locks in the Pinppolis dam. With the creation of the Santee and Pinopolis reservoirs, the flood menace, if not eleminated, could be controlled. For about 70 miles below Wilson’s landing dam on the Santee river - is virtually waste land, and all wild life ha s been driven out of the area by flood several times each year. The 70 miles of river bottom con taining about 200,000 acres of rich farm land would be reclaimed and would add substantially to the wealth of the State, it ha s been pointed out. It would be relieved fiom the danger of repeated flooding. In addition, the control cf the ma larial mosquitos by the construction of the project will add a further in centive to sportsmen to locate within the area the year round. There would be opened-up a year-round vacation land for residents cf the State as well as for visitors, which in turn will give regular employment to many persons and stimulate trade in the area. Industry Necessary. It has been pointed out that with reduction in piice^ for staple agiicul- ^ural products, the future of the section must inevitably depend upon its partial development as an indus trial area. Excellent harbor facilities at Charleston, together with highway, railroad and wateiway communica- tiens that would be available from that point would make the area an attractive location fbr such industries V, v "I + With its vital * • ^ ../’'s' *■ v rare elements, iodine, potassium, calcium, etc. Im mediate action.

Take Up Mortgages. Proponents of the measure have also stressed the fact that it would liquidate frozen assets now held by banks in the southeastern portion of the State and by thc federal land bank in the foim of mortgages on the real estate required by the pro ject. Wh\le the 38 mile Santee reservoir would be three miles less the length of Lake Murray, near Columbia, it would have an average width of three and three-tenths mile-; as against the two-mile width of the latter. The Pinopolis lake will be eleven miles long and eight miles wide. It is estimated, at a cruising speed of eight mile s an hour, it would take fifty seven hours to malce .the round trip from Charleston lajCoLumbia^ and back.

The project, under seven commis- gioners called the South Carolina Pub lic Service Authority, would spend approximately $12,000,000 for local labor, affording employment to the extent of 59,000,000 man-hours of work. On the basis of thirty hours .work per man a week this would em ploy an average of 10,000 for nearly four years.
