PRESIDENT BACKS
CAROLINA Project
Approve Power Plant on
Two Rivers to Cost
S37,OO0,0O0.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has approved
another huge public works power
project, q proposed $37,00O,00O hydro
electric development on the Santee
and Cooper Rivers in South Carolina.
In a letter to Senator Byrnes, the
President said he will approve grant
of As per cent of the estimated cost,
with the balance of $20,625, 900 as a
loan at per cent interest, to be
amortized over 30-year period. Re-
lease of the funds, however, was con-
ditioned upon the constitutionality OF
the South Carolina Public Service
Authority, created to pursue the de-
Velopment.
President Roosevelt described the
proposed project as one that will
not alone serve to overcome distress
caused by unemployment in that Sec
ton, but also permanently contribute
to the economic development of the
southeast
The Santee- Cooper development Of
ten has been referred to as little
T v. A"
1t is proposed to construct a huge
hydro electric plant on the Cooper
River near Pinopolis, S. c., and divert
water from the Santee River into the
Cooper at point near Manning, S..
c., to provide greater water power.
The development, which also en-
braces navigation and flood control,
would serve the lower section Of the
State from Columbia to the coast
and would spread into the Savannah
area in Georgia. Senator Byrnes said
the project would furnish direct labor
to 1920 South Carolinians during the
first year of construction. P. w. A.
engineers estimated it would create
630,000,000 kilowatt hours of elec-
trical energy. which the South Caro-
lima Authority can deliver at % mills
kiloWatt hour, to liquidate the loan.
The President directed Senator
Byrnes and other interested South
CarolinianS to confer with Public
Works Administrator Ickes and Works
Progress Administrator Hopkins on
details of the contract.
Opposition to the Santee- Cooper
development has been expressed by
the Duke Power Co. and by other
interests, especially owners of hunt
ing lands, which would be inundated

RULING IS DUE
ON NR0B0TC0P

Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman is expected to submit
a legal opinion this week on
whether the District can employ
automatic cops" to decrease the
overtime parking in congested
areas and, at the same time, en-
rich the municipal tre a sury
through fees for making the de.
vice work.
Favored by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer, the "auto'
matte cop" is patented device
known as a parkometer. The de-
vice is attached to a curb, and is
equipped with a flag. When a car
is connected with the device, the
flag raises and stay aloft for a
set period of time, after which
the flag disappeared.
The idea for use in the District
is to set the device so the flag will
remain standing during the limit
for parking in a congested area.
If the motoriSt fails to move the
vehicle at that time, the "auto-
matte cop" tips off a human cop
that the car is subject to an over
time parking ticket. However to
make the device work, coin must
be inserted in a slot. Legality of
charging such a fee for parking
in public space is the question Di-
rector Van Duzer asked Counsel
Prettyman to settle.
