60,000 acres, would hold water back
and reduce the strain on our levee.
Of course, the rise of the Savannah
river today to an estimated height
of 32 feet does not interest people
in the city any more, although it
would have created a panicky con
dition 25 years ago before the levee
was built.
Engineers who have studied the
situation here say that if the
Clarks Hill dam had been in op
eration in 1929 the flood watenj
which caused the levee to break
in several places and which cost
the city hi excess of $500,000 in
repairs would not have been suf
ficiently high to cause the levee
to break in any place. The level
of the water in the lake at Clarks
Hill would have been considerably
reduced because of the dry weath
er in the spring and summer of
1929 and the fact that great quan
tities of this water would have been
used for manufacturing power and
to aid navigation below Augusta.
Therefore, a huge amount of
water would have been necessary
to fill the lake at Clarks Hill be
fore reaching Augusta. They would
have been held back to such ex
tent that by the time the lake was
filled the strain on the levee at

There is a new spirit of coopera
tion abroad in the land not only
for the protection of communities
against the ravages of nature's
pranks but as well for the upbuild
ing of communities through devel
opment and control of nature's
bounties.
There is the Clarks Hill project
on the Savannah River above Au

pers of Georgia and South Carolina
have, as a unit, welcomed
the special report of the Presi
dent’s Commission recommending
that twenty-odd millions of dollars

There is a universal recognition
of the fact that it is incumbent
upon the federal government to
develop the natural resources of
the nation.
Flood control for the entire Sav
annah River valley, including the
City of Augusta; cheap water
transportation for the states of
Georgia and South Carolina, and
the development of a tremendous,
volume of cheap water power are
the factors involved in the devel
opment that has just been recom
mended to President Roosevelt-
While Augusta would perhaps de
rive more direct benefit from the
development than other communi
ties within the two states, the im
portance of this project to every
community in Georgia and South
Carolina cannot be overlooked.
The Clarks Hill project is the
only major power and transporta
tion development that has been
proposed for Georgia and it is,
therefore, of particular interest to
the people of this state.

After exhaustive investigations,
employing all the data available on
the Savannah River, in addition
to securing other comprehensive
reports, the board of engineers
has recommended to President
Roosevelt that this project be un
dertaken as soon as practicable.
The President is expected to act
on the report at an early date.
The board’s reports show that
by an investment of $21,244,000 a
property would be obtained hav
ing a value of $31,655,000, or $10,-
411,000 in excess of cost, equal to
49 percent of the investment.
While three alternate plans were
advanced by the engineers in their
report, it is believed that the pro
posal for construction of the en
tire project with federal funds
is the most feasible under the cir
cumstances. This plan would leave
the matter of disposing of the
power created by this develop
ment solely in the hands of the
federal government.
The Herald feels that no in
dividual or institution can do less
than give wholehearted endorse
ment to an undertaking of such
tremendous importance to this
section* of the country.
