 MT. Gelders states that nearly S100 has been raised to date to keep this dormi- tory open and operate the wood yard for merly operated by the Associated Chari- ties. >He states that if about that much more can be secured the dormitory and wood yard can be operated until warm weather comes and the unemployed men of the city given food and a place to sleep.

ADAMSON URGES THE DEVELOPMENT
 OF WATER POWER

Atlanta. March 13.-Chairman Adamson of the House commerce committee, at banquet given in his honor by the Att lanta Bar association here tonight, de- clarcd that the development of water power and hydro-electric plants on south ern streams would mean a saving of mill lions of dollars and give impetus to in- dustrv. that the states had authority to develop their resources without special consent of Congress, and that even the nations preparedness for war might be adversely affected by neglect of such natural advantages.
 ..Every navigable river in which Geor- gia is intereste, except the Savannah and 20 miles of the Coosa, 10 entirely within Georgia" he said. If the Georgia law is not satisfactory to take advantage of the situation we ought to amend 1t to make it so There are 100000 available horsepower in Georgia streams, enough power to pay without cent of public ex- pense for making navigable 1000 or l5O0p miles of river within the state for devel- orment of ydro-electricity, to make guano at a low price. furnish lights ane fuel run railroads all over the state and establish enough manufacturing plants to make Georgia a great empire.
 MT. Adamson contended that opstruc- ton of the Goat Rock dam on the Chat river in Georgia and dam at Lock 12 on the Coosa in Alabama robbed the people of many times $Sv,0O0, OOO by preventing development by the private capital which was here ready to invest but which flew to other countries"

WHITMAN SAVES WATER

Governor Changes Plan to Empty Sewage of Mohansic
State Hospital Into Croton Lake-Wil
Go Into the Hudson.

The members of this commission made
n personal inspection of the watersheds
and carefully studied the existing con-
ditions.
The favorable attitude OF Gov. Whit
man was likewise surprising because
OF the ! .istence of a letter in the files
of the executive chamber from Or. S. s.
Coldwater stating that 1t was his belief
that the proposed sewage disposal would
'in no way jeopardize the interests or
health OF the people of this city"
The letter was written to ex-Gov.
Glynn early last year when the bill pro-
viding for the abandonment of the
Mohansic site was pending before him.
Another letter or record confirmed this
opinion of DR.. Goldwater, which was
based upon the report of the commis-
sion which investigated the plant.
The conference at which the Governor
heard all about the Mohansic plan was
attended by Accomplishment Wood

! Commissioner Biggs outlined for the
Governor the processes through which
the efiluent from the Monansic Hospital
would pass before reaching Croton reser.

any sewage.
In view OF this explanation Gov. Whit
