Adding this type of benefit, together with the cost of damage now being done t o roads, bridges and town property, the planning party showed that an annual benefit of $41,539 could be realized if the watershed pro ject is put into effect. Sites selected for dams are in Laurens county near Joanna; and in Newberry county near Ja- lapa on Beaver Dam creek and in the city on Scott’s creek on the Stewart and Ridgeway proper ties just below the intersection of Harrington anc| Hunt streets From the point of this dam to the intersection of Scott’s creek and Drayton street, the creek channel would be cleared of ob struction but not widened. ■■ mi - wm mm Prosperity News .

There are, Mr. Shull explained, approximately 75,000 acres in the watershed. This includes all land draining into Bush River. About 20 per cent of the acreage is in Laurens county, the remainder in Newberry. In the Laurens area, there are 67 farms; in Newberry county, 831 within the watershed. The purpose of the watershed, according to the planning party, is to reduce or eliminate flood damage and to restore land to its highest potential. Statistics over the last 20 years show an annual damage from flooding, er osion, etc. in the watershed area to be an average of $9300. By building dams, improving the river channel and putting into ef fect land treatment and stabili zation measures, Mr. Shull told the group, this damage would be reduced ' by more than half, not considering the amount that would be gained were farmers Below the dam proposed f o r Joanna to Singley’s Mill pond in Newberry, there will be seven miles of channel improvement, widening and deepening, clearing and straightening of the river bed. In addition to the dam and channel work, other measures pro posed include terracing, planting of stabilizing crops for erosion control, tree planting, drainage and roadside stabilization. The project will be spread over a five-year period, if it is finally approved. After the work is done it will be the duty of the local sponsors to see that maintenance measures are carried out. In response to a question from a landowner, Mr. Shull assured the group that there would be no Federal control over the project although the government would assume the major financial bur den. The only limitations were that the local sponsors must maintain the program and obtain easements, and that there must be no interference with the dams which would block the water con trol measures. Otherwise, said Mr. Shull, the dam and perman ent pool belong to the person on whose land it is located and may be used for irrigation, recreation or in any way that does not in terfere with the water-retarding features of the dam. He also stated that the local sponsoring group would advertise for bids and administer the contract for the watershed work. The local cost of $12,375 was divided between the two counties as follows: Laurens $5780, and Newberry $6595. Most of those present felt that the comparative ly negligible cost was not a mat ter for concern and that the money would be forthcoming if the easements are obtained, and approval is granted by the gov ernment.
