torney general of Virginia mad
given an opinion that such pri-
vate work was legal. Those in

Army Engineers Make Study
Of Possibilities for Navlga-
ton by Means of Locks

WESTERNPORT, Md, April 8.
Twenty-one United States Govern
ment engineers are working in this
section on a survey of the Potomac
river to determine the best route
for a navigable waterway between
the Ohio river and Washington.
A year ago Congress passed q
bill directing the Engineering
Corps of the Army to make q
study and survey of all navigable
rivers in the United States for
water power development, flood
control, navigation and irrigation
possibilities.
Under this authority an inten-
siye study of the Potomac has been
made and it is understood the
project of linking the Potomac
with the Ohio is altogether feaS-
ible. Following this study, engi-
neerS have been put to work on the
survey with instructions to furnish
complete plans and estimates.
Survey Complete
Within the past few days they
have completed their survey as
far as Twenty-first Bridge, on the
north branch of the Potomac, just
east of KeySer. Plans call for
the construction of 80 dams be-
tween that place and Washington.
-Four of these would be power dams
capable Of supplying over 1,OOO,-
600, 900 kilowatt hours Of prime
power in one year.
Three would be located at the
falls above Washington, and one
near Harpers Ferry. Locks would
be built at all dams to raise and
lower the boats to the proper level.
Five Plans Studied
One of the big problems of this
project is finding the most prac-
tical route west of Cumberland.
Five are available and are being
considered. One would be by way
of Wills Creek. through the Cum
berland Narrows and the Castle
man river. The other four would
lead through this community.
One route would be to follow the
North Branch of the Potomac
river and build a canal to the
Youghiogheny river. The other
three routes would be via the Saw
age river, one to Castleman river,
one through Piney Creek and one
by way of Deep Creek to the
Youghiogheny river.
