The Potomac Power Plan.

The Potomac hydro. electric power
plan il before this Congress in a bin
drawn By Representative r. Walton
Moore OF the eighth Virginia district,
which includes the south shore Of
Great Falls and much Of the upper
Potomac. and BY Representative Fred
erick y. Iihlman OF Maryland, whose
district includes the Potomac River
from the west boundary OF the Dis
trict TO the Allegheny Mountsins. The
pending bill Ia not markedly different
from the bill which was favorabiN re-
ported to the House ny the District
committee in the Sixty-eish,h con

The demand for electric power Is in.

The Chain Bridge dam and power
plant are the parts Of the power plan
which would be put i'm operation first.
The Chain Bridge. or Little FANS dam
would create lake extending up
stream TO the foot OF Great Falls and
that lake would cover much country
on both sides Of the river that is ia
mi,iar TO our people. A dam al Great
Fails would create another Ions lake
ana dams srther west on the Puto-
mac and on the Shens ndoah and
Great Cacapon would serve as reser-
voTs which would reduce tiood losses
