Think il lnadyisabIe 10 Rec.

GIVE DIFFERENT REASONS
Nhsl Steps Will Neat Bs Taken
10 Make Stream Navigabis
- Not Vet known

An adverse report on the plan
10 make the Tombigbee river
perennially navigable between
Columbus and Demopolls. Ala.
through the installation Of a sys.
TEN Of locks and dams has bee
submitted by the Board Of En-.
gineers Of the United States War
Department. declaring that Il
thought the improvement mad
visable.
A preliminary survey of the
river between Columbus and
Demopolis was made several
months ago, and the report,
which was compiled in the office
of Maj. W. l.. Guthrie. who is
in charge OF the army engineers
at Mobile, gives the following
reasons for declaring the scheme
impracticable:
The board recognizes the fact
that this fertile valley might ul-
timately develop a large increase
of commerce in commodities OF
various kinds. 1t does not be.
lieve, however, that the construc.
tion of locks and dams at this
time is advisable. The Black
Warrior -Tombigbee system OF
canalization has just been com.
pleted. thus making possible Q
large water-borne commerce in
coal from the extensive Goa
fields of the Black Warrior river,
and in steel and iron products
from the Birmingham distric
(articles that go to make up ;
class of freight especially suitable
for water transportation Al
the opportunities for a large com
merce on this system are much
more favorable than on the Tom
bigbee river between Demopoli:
and Columbus. il seems to b,
merely prudent to defer any ex.
pensive work on the proposed
project until an opportunity has
been given for the utilization o
The system already provided BY
the government.
"The board is also mindful 0
the fact that in various parts o
the country a great many pro
jects are now under construction
involving the expenditure of
vast sum of money, and tha
each of these projects must b,
substantially completed before
can be made available to com
merce. Therefore, unless sucI
project has exceptional merit,
does not seem advisable, unit
going projects are considerably
advanced, to adopt a new pro
ject involving such a great outlay
Pending the development o
remunerative traffic through tn
locks OF the Black Warrior an,
Tombigbee system, it seems ad
visable, therefore, to limit worI
on the Tombigbee river betwee
! Demopolis. Ala, and Columbu,
Miss. to such relatively small eS
penditures as may, by the remoy
al of snags and other obstruC
tons, assist navigation of stage
above 6 feet on the Columbu
guage."
1t is not yet known what step
: will be taken by the Tombigbe
River Improvement Association
to secure an appropriation 10
the purpose Of making the strear
navigable. The directors at III
Chamber of Commerce of thi
J, city will discuss the matter at
! meeting to be held at an earl
date.
