to the people on the one hand and

Development of Economy
Oscar Wells, president of the First
National bank. Birmingham, said he
had not been in Alabama as long as
many of those present, but one did
not have to be here long to appre-
ciate the inestimable value of thu
development of the water powers Of
the state and the service that had
been performed in that direction by
Mr.. Mitchell both as pioneer and
builder of the finished product. The
value OF hydroelectric development
was that it used what otherwise was
waste and that it served every indus
try, every line of business. every
man, woman and child in the state.
1t was the quintescence economy In
development.
A beautiful sun shone on the hun
dreds standing by, among whom
were many ladies. Following Mr..
Wells address, young Mr.. Mitchell
pulled the lever, the first cement
went into the dam and the crowd
wendell its way to the large mess
halls, where a splendid dinner was
served.
Return trains brought the Biz
mingham delegation back to Biz
mingham by GAS, in time for supper.
The trains were operated without
hitch or delay feature of the day
that added much to its pleasure.
