Tour Say Project Will Be
Pushed Quickly
From The ' Augusta Chronicle,
Oct. 21.
Assurance that the survey on
the basin for the huge Clarks
Hill hydro-electric project will be
pushed to a conclusion as quickly
as possible was made here yester
day by two U. S. Army engfheers
on an inspection of the Savannah
river levee projects.
Col. Jarvis J. Bain, division en
gineer of the South Atlantic divi
sion of Richmond, Va., and Capt.
S. R. Browning, assistant to the
division engineer of Savsinnah,
scrutinized the progress made on
the two levee jobs. They said that
the work was apparently progress
ing rapidly and satisfactorily.
Colonel Bain said that a confer
ence between a group of Augus-
tans interested in the Clarks Hill
project and Army officials in
Richmond in reference to addi
tional work on the project will
orobably be held within the next
few days.
Plans for installation of six
safety gates, costing a quarter of
million dollars will be filed in
Richmond office before Dec. 1.
The monies for this work will be
appropriated by the federal gov
ernment and will cost the city ab
solutely nothing Lester 3. Moody,
secretary of the Augusta Chamber
of Commerce, said.
Mr. Moody said that when these
six gates have been installed at
the strategic spots along the levee
the river wall will be better and
stronger than it has ever been be
fore.
The Army engineers reported
that the dirt work on the two
levee jobs below the city have
progressed to such an extent has
one is 78 per cent and the other 55
per cent complete.
Colonel Bain said that the levee
gates will be constructed at the
head of the city canal, at the Sib
ley mill tail gate. King Mill tail
gate, Hawk’s Gulley, at the Inter
section of the Southern Railroad
at the levee and at the Butler
creek mouth.
When extreme high water
threatens, these gates will be clos
ed and sand-bagged to prevent
flooding of the lower sections cf
H the city.

The future of America depends
upon the intelligence of the com

that future by helping to mould

A librarian can do nothing better
than cultivate in boys and girls a
taste for good literature. The
books that a child reads for
pleasure do more to determine its
ideals and mould its character
than the text books studied in
schools. We must train our chil
dren that our adults are library
minded for good literature and
that the library consciousness is
nation-wide. As a rule the r most
successful man in life is the man
who has the most information.
