Congressman Brown
Speaks For Clarks Hill
'i'rom The Augusta Chronicle
Anril 26.
Congressman Paul Brown ad
mirably presented the Clarks Hill
mse in a thirty-minute speech in
"he house of representatives Mon
day, and it is quite possible that
his address will prove the clincher
in assuring favorable congression
al action on the gigantic power,
navigation and flood control
project on Savannah river.
Mr. Brown’s argument in favor
of Clarks Hill was particularly
timely because it came right after
a set of favorable reports on the
project had come from all of the
governmental agencies assigned to
the task cf investigating its
feasibility. His remarks were
made in an effort to have con
gress write the project into the
omnibus rivers and harbors bill,
now awaiting action bv the house.
The arguments in favor of the
Clarks Hill project are so con
vincing, and the evidence in its
favor so preponderant, that it is
difficult to see how congress could
refuse to give the go-ahead signal
for work on the development
which will mean so much to this
area of Georgia and South Caro
lina.
If we are nroperly informed in
the subject, the Clarks Hill proj
ect right now is in the most ad
vantageous position that it has
ever been in since it was con
ceived several years ago. TO those
not familiar with the ponderous
workings of government when
matters of this kind are involved,
it might seem that the fight has
been a long drawn out affair, but
ah of this time and effort were
needed to place the project in
such an outstandingly favorable
light that, wherf the time came,
congress could hardly afford to
turn it down. It has been in
dorsed by every one of the agen
cies which investigated it—the
Federal Power commission, the
War Department’s board of en
gineers, Major General Julian L.
Schley, chief of engineers; the
district and division army en
gineers. and the National Re
sources committee.
If the fulfillment cf the dream
of Clarks HUl comes at an early
date now. it will be a personal
triumph for Mr. Lester S. Moody,
secretary of the Augusta Chamber
of Commerce, who has labored
long and hard to win the funds
for the project. Congressman
Brown’s earnest efforts also will
be resnonsible for getting work
started on the huge development.
If congress grants the funds for
Clarks Hill, the long and hard
campaign will have been well
worth the time and effort devoted
to it by those who led the fight.
It will mean the dawning of a
new era for this entire section.
