POWER COMPANY
SEEKSPERM|T TO
BUILD -FOUR DAMS
President Martin Applies For
Certificates Allowing Work
in TaIIapoosa and RAN
doIph Counties
BY FRED II. GORMLEY
MONTGOMERY Bureau. The Age Herald,
22l-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery. September 5.-(Spe-
cial. for a certificate
of convenience and necessity which
will permit the construction of four
dams across the TalRpoosa river and
will impound the waters for use at
low water periods in the generation
of electricity was filed with the
public service commission by the
Alabama Power company today.
The application was submitted by
Thomas w. Martin, president OF the
company. 1t is proposed to con-
struct the dams in the counties of
Tallapoosa and Randolph and make
them a supplement of the companys
present system for the generation of
power, the particular use of the
dams being to hold the water which
may be used during months when
the flow of water is not sufficient
to generate power in sufficient
quantities to meet the calls of power
consumers.
With the use of this water which
is now going to waste the heavy
cost of generating power by steam
will be reduced. Not only is 1t pro-
posed to use this water in general
ing power, but the construction of
the dams will aid navigation on the
Alabama and Coosa rivers, according
to government experts who have
made an investigation of the rivers.
The water would be held by the
dams during the seasons of heavy
water flow and released during low
water, thus aiding navigation as
well as supplying the calls for
power.
To. Build Transmission Line
The Alabama Power company also
asked for certificates of convent
ence and necessity which would per-
NIT the construction of transmits
sion line from point near Mitchell
dam to Lanette. Chambers county,
and another transmission line from
a point at or near Lafayette to Au-
brey, near Opeiika. The company
sees demand for power in this sec
ton which cannot be met by the
present facilities and desires to be
prepared to meet the call for power
In any quantities that may be de-
sired according to the petition. The
three petitions will be set for for
NAL hearing.
1t is not probable that any per-
son will oppose the petitions and
the granting of the certificates at
the expiration of the time set by
the commission will be Formally.
