The delegation which saw the President inculded Senator Walter F. George; Representative Paul Brown of Elberton, Ga.; Thomas J. Hamilton of Augusta, Ga., chairman of the Savannah River Improvement association, and L. S. Moody, secretary of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce. They said Mr. Roosevelt, deep ly interested in the Savannah river project, told them it would be in the first list of developments un der the Norris regional planning program which divides the nation into seven regions. The Savannah river is part of the Atlantic sea board region. NO FUNDS AVAILABLE George said the President was willing to start work immediate ly on the Clarks Hill project, but existing law gives him no money for buying land. This authority will be furnished, he explained, by the Norris bill. Hamilton, who lingered for a brief private conference with the President, told newsmen Mr. Roosevelt had lost none of the in terest which had prompted him to order detailed surveys of the Clarks Hill development. He predicted the President would see that con struction funds were provided. The Clarks Hill dam, to be lo cated on the upper Savannah river a few miles north of Augusta, would be a combination power, navigation and flood control proj ect. The plan, conceived by army engineers, was endorsed recently by the Federal Power commission, which said energy generated by the dam would be cheap and readily saleable. txt Modoc JNews Mt.
