 AND CIWTAN PLANS

T. DeBardeleben as manager of the Mississippi- Warrior water ways system.
 Members of the Civic association were requested in one of the reso- lutions to assist in the correction of errors resulting from the duplica- tion of street names and house num- bers, which. 1t was declared, cause much confusion and trouble.
 Commenting the efforts of the Civitan club to have Fifth avenue attractively lighted from the Tar minal station westward, this resolu- tion called to the attention of rail- way and city authorities the con- dition of the subway under the Ter minal and recommended that the subway "be painted white and prop erly and Adequately lighted" The resolution also provided for the ap- pointment of a committee with P.

CHEROKEE BLUFF DAM DESIGNS ARE
 ALREADY DRAWN
Company Possesses Four Other Sites on TaIlapooSa, Estimates on All of Which
 Are Made

It is estimated that the four dams to be built on the Tallapoosa river by the Alabama Power company will cost approximately $12,000,0o0, struction made from time to time Surveys and estimates of cost of con lead to that conclusion.
 This is confirmed by the federal power commissions offices at Wash has placed on file its request sor the four permits. A special from the Age Herald's Washington correspond ent received last night says:
 Inquiry at the federal power com missions offices today develops the fact that the Alabama Power com pany, in construction of four dams on the Tallapoosa river for the genera tion of 10000 horse power. eontem- plates an expenditure approximating S12,00o,000.
 The commi ission, it is said. will act on the request for a federal permit authorizing the company to under take the work within sixty days It is anticipated that action will be favorable"
 Cherokee Bluffs.
 Chief among the sites on the Talla- poosa river owned by the Alabama Power company is that at Cherokee Bluffs, which is about eight miles above Tallassee. Designs for dam there have been drawn and the cost figured several times. This dam is expected to generate s0.000 horse power and the dam will be ITO feet high. The situation Is about 20 to 25 miles across country to the east of Mitchell dam and about 10 miles from where the Tallapoosa flows into the Coosa. z
 The company has four other sites on the Tallapoosa and estimates have been made on all of them. For the present the company has no state. ment to make as to exact location of the dams.
 Transfer Working Forces.
 The work at Mitchell dam will be completed about February or March next and by that time, 1t Is pre- sumed, the company will have com pleted all surveys and estimates and the forces now at work at Mitchell dam will be transferred to one or more of the sites on the Tallapoosa. The work of building the principal dam on that stream. presumably that at Cherokee Bluffs, will take about the same time as the building of Mitchell dam, about two years.
 The 10000 horse power to be gen. erated at Mitchell dam is potentially taken and will doubtless be contract ed for in toto by the time work can be well under way on the Tallapoosa river and presumably and in accor- dance with the growing demand for water power Alabama industries and communities will be ready to take the additional 140,o00 horse power to be generated on the Tallapoosa by the time that is in harness.
 It is possible that work on the Tallapoosa may start before that at Mitchell dam is completed and forces gradually moved from that place to Cherokee Bluffs or other site on the Tallapoosa where work Is first to start.
