Washington, Aug. 12.—A group
of Georgians said today President
Roosevelt assured them the $22,-
000,000 Clarks Hill dam on the Sa
vannah river would be placed in
next year’s public works bill.
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.
