Colonel Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the advisory board of the National Resources commit tee, is new examining the favorable report of federal engineers on the $21,000,000 Clarks Hill project be fore discussing the proposed under taking with President Roosevelt in the near future, it was reported yesterday to Mayor Richard E. Allen, Jr. This information was brought from Washington by L. S. Moody, secretary of the Augusta Cham ber of Commerce, and Thomas J. Hamilton, editor of The Augusta Chronicle, who have been in the national capital for the past week in the interests of the project, which, if realized, will bring its power, navigation and flood con trol benefits to this city and a large surrounding area in Geor gia and South Carolina. In a formal statement released after a conference with the mayor, Mr. Moody and Mr. Hamilton said they are reliably informed that Colonel Delano is “deeply im pressed with the feasibility and desirability of Clarks Hill.” They are hopeful, they stated, the Presi dent will allocate funds to begin the project in July. While not minimizing the size of the task ahead to make the Clarks Hill dam a reality, they de dared themselves “optimistic as to the eventual outcome.” As soon as an interview with President Roosevelt can be arranged, they expect to return to Washington and continue their efforts. Their statement follows: “Since returning from Florida the President has been engrossed with many matters of nation-wide importance, including the billion and a half relief bill now before congress, and has not had time to study the Clarks Hill project. A favorable report by the presiden tial commission, composed of Col onel Earl I. Brown of the United States Engineers, Roger B. Mc Whorter, chief engineer of the Federal Power commission, and Sherman S. Woodward, of the Na tional Resources committee, was turned over by President Roose velt for examination to Colonel Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the advisory board of the Nation al Resources committee, who, with the aid of his executive assistant, Charles W. Eliot, II, is personally handling the matter. TALKED WITH PRESIDENT “Colonel Delano has already discussed Clarks Hill with the President, having been with him in Florida for a portion of the time Mr. Rcosevelt was on his re cent vacation. We are reliably in formed that Colonel Delano is deeply impressed with the feas ibility and desirability of Clarks Hill and has so informed the President. He is to make a further investigation of the report of the presidential commission and dis cuss the matter again with Presi dent Roosevelt very soon. “In spite of congressional dis approval of the Passamaquoddy Bay and the Florida ship canal projects and the feeling in some quarters that the President will be reluctant to start another big public works project without spe cific legislation in congress au thorizing it, we are hopeful that the President will allocate a suf ficient sum as of July 1, next, to begin work on Clarks Hill. “Everybody in high official cir cles in Washington who has made a study of Clarks Hill regards it as being an outstanding develop ment with such conspicuous mer its as to offset the general trend against further large PWA alloca tions. The projects that are now Miss Kennedy To Talk At Baptist Church Miss Mary Kennedy, returned missionary from India, will speak at the Baptist church Sunday night, April 26th, at the regular preaching hour, 8 o’clock. Miss Kennedy is known by quite i number here, having spoken in the A. R. P. Church and visited relatives from time to time. Miss Kennedy has spent fourtee» years in India, doing missionary work, and she comes to us with a message we will all enjoy and will like to hear. A. Thad Persons, Pastor. IX t Acting County Agent R.

ALLOCATION OF POWER “We know that the question of the allocation of power as between the states of Georgia and South Carolina and what form of co operation should be required of the two states by the United States government are in the minds of Colonel Delano and Mr. Eliot. Also, the question of the acquirement ot land, the rates to be charged for the power, and so on, are matters which are under discussion. Co operation by the two states does rot necessarily mean putting up money, but rathe:*, are our health laws such as to prevent pollution of waters in the Clarks Hill reser voir, and what of forest conser vation and reforestation that would prevent soil from gully-washed hills pouring silt into and filling up the reservoir? “We regard none of these as in superable obstacles but ones which have to be ironed out in discus sions. We believe that the Presi dent will be satisfied with assur ances that whatever is needed in the way of state cooperation will be provided by the legislature of Georgia next January and the leg islature of South Carolina at the same time, and that in the mean time work can proceed on the Clarks Hill dam. “Wc know all of the matters af- Miss Virginia Majette of Pensa cola, Fla., was the charming guest cf Misses Lennie and Eliza Covin for the past week end.
