population Of the area to be- sub
merged is about 100000. The
cost Of urban property affected Is
estimated at $24,700,0O0.
The proposition involves the
abandonment of 275 miles of
state and federal highways; relo-
cation Of l59 miles of other roads I:
and the raising Of 40 additional
miles. The cost Of highway and
railway abandonments. including
bridges. is estimated at 81 ,lS2.-
600 and 500 ,085.000. respectively.
Natural resources affected
would include numerous coal
mines in the Harrisburg. ILL.,, and
Tradewatcr, Ky, fields, estimated
at $500, 100000 tons.
So far as navigation on the
Ohio is concerned, will say il Is
now functiOning in a manner that
is nearly ideal. If any changes or
improvements should become nee
cSSary, the army engineers can
propose them to congress for It's
attention. 1t would certainly be a
misfortune to have a divided au-
thority, placing different types
Of structures in the river. espe.
cially types that will not be con
sistent with each other. The Dog
Island dam would certainly be an
tag0nistic to safe navigation.

POWER AND NAVIGATION DO
NOT MIX, CONGRESSMAN SAYS

llctllOH.
Under the plan of the army en-
gineers, dam No. 50, on the Ohio
below the mouth of the Tennes-
see with slight increase in
height, would provide the 9-foot
depth to Aurora, some twenty-odd
miles above Gilbertsville. The cost
would be quite small, as under the
present height of dam No. 81, its
backwater now extends 81 miles
above Gilbertsville, with G-foot
depth at Aurora.
In 1885 the IVA launched a
program to extend its authority to
the Ohio and Cumberland rivers.
Ailplane and other surveys were
made, including test borings and
foundation Investigations for a
high power dam in the Ohio river
somewhere in the vicinity of the
mouth of the Tennessee. They
reached the conclusion that if a
high dari were established below
the mouth of the Tennessee, 1t
would back the water up far be-
yond Gilbertsville, and thus de-
feat the purpose Of dam at that
place. They finally decided to con-
struct two high dams in that vi
entity, one at Gilbertsville in the
Tennessee, the other in the Ohio
near Dog Island. The Ohio dam
would be just below the mouth of
the Cumberland, and IA miles
above the mouth Of the TenneS-
see.
The mere expenditure of the
100000 on the GilbertSville
dam is hardly the starting point.
Congress. in due time, will be
called upon to make the appropri
alton, not only to complete the
Gilbertsville, but to commence the
work upon the Dog Island dam.
And, the contention will be made,
Of course, and with 4 degree OF
reason, that congress is committed
to il, because it is u part and nee
essary part of the common prof.
ect embracing the GilbertSvillc
dam.
Knowing that the war depart
ment, as we'll as the iva had
made thorough studies of the pro-
posed dam at Dog Island, as well
;sS 1T other points on the Ohio,
| applied for information. was
advised that the project provides
for high dam across the Ohio
and Cumberland rivers At Dog Is
land near Smithland, KY, with
an auxiliary dam across the Cache
river divide near New Columbia,
III. The estimated cost was as fol-
lows:
Construction Of dam and locks,
$S2, 900, 900; power plane (3O0,-
600 kilowatt installation. $25,-
100000; flowage, S285. 900, 700;
total estimated cost, 1892 900. 900.
The result Of the surveys shows
that at normal pool level (eleva-
ton 35S) the reservoir would
overflow about $4,000 acres Of
land; and ut maximum pool level
(clcvatiOn 375) Il total Of about
$4,000 acres, situated in Illinois,
Indiana. Kentucky. and TcnneS-
see. About $4,000 acres Of this
land is in cultivation, and quite
valuable. The cost of the farm
lands is estimated at $llj,6
600.
Sixty-fom towns would be af-
fectcd, 81 Of which, with total

By HON. JOS. J. MANSFIELD
Congressman from Texas

The congress recently authOriz-
ed an appropriation for the COM
menccmcnt of work upon the Gil
bertsville dam in the Tennessee
river. This dam is part of the
program of the iva for power,
navigation, and flood control. !
have heretofore given full support
to the IVA proposals, but did not
favor the Gilbertsville dam. The
more thought | give to the matter,
the more ! become confirmed in
my belief that such dam near
the mouth Of the river should not
be constructed.
The lake to be formed by this
dam will be 1874 miles long, seven
miles wide at the widest place,
and deep enough to accommodate
the largest ocean ship. Such a
large lake will be too hazardous
in rough weather for the safe OPP
Grafton of the low, flat, steel
hargeS now operated on the Ohio
and Mississippi, which are onl y Il
few feet above the water line
when loaded. This dam will break
the chain Of continuous navlga-
ton between the Tennessee and
the Ohio Mississippi system, and
require a different type Of boat,
and neceSSitatc the transfer Of
cargOeS.
The GilbrrtSville lake will be
I84 miles long and cover lG0, 900
acres Of land. according to the
article of Engineer Book, in the
April number of the Engineering
S-Record.
The GilbcrtSville dam will pro-
vide a navigation channel to Pick
wick Landing, a distance of l8l
miles. The cost is estimated at
$Il2, 0G0, 900. The plan Of the
army engineers provided four luw
dams on this section, estimated to
cost $l0,S6j, 900. The low dams
would provide a safe 9-foOt chan
mel II months in the year. Gil
bcrtSvilIe dam might provide 4
safe channel during fair weather
and cost $l00,0O0,0O0 more,
From the standpoint of navigation
alone. Gilbertsville dam cannot
be defended.
Great claims have been made
for the fIood-protectlon features
Of the GilbertSville dam. The wa
tcrShrd Of the Tennessee below
Pickwick Landing dam is quite
small. On the west side, the drain
age is nearly all in the direction
of the Mississippi, only few
miles away. On the east side, IT Is
hcdgcd in by the Cumberland. If
the dams above GilhcrtSville are
sufficient for the storage Of the
flood waters of that section, then
GilbcrtSvilIc need never be used
for flood protection, as the wa
ter from its own drainage basin
would not affect Il MISSISSIPPI
river flood to the extent Of the
tenth part of an inch.
When DR.. a. f. Morgan was
before the committee on rivers
and harbors on the planning bill,
he stated that the GilbertsVille
dam would have great capacity
for the storage of flood waters.
On the question Of navigation, he
expressed no opinion. In reply to
questions. he said that very few
dams were practical for multiple
uses. and said that the Norris dam
was one of that type. He men,
toned no other dam in that CON
by way of Washington, ID. g., and
see the many things of interest
there.

eallop for miles over rolling land,
through beautiful farms with lovely
old homes, jumping ideal fences of post
and rail, stone and chicken-coop

Mr.. Riggs has been master since
1929. when the club was organized. He
is most popular with his field and is
always ready and eager to give them
the best sport possible. This season
the Howard County Hunt has been
having particularly good sport, for it
started of with an entirely new pack
of hounds that were selected with care
and bought throughout Pennsylvania.
The members and guests who have
been following this fine pack are loud
have a great amount of drive and are
quite a noted pack.
Benjamin Funk, the huntsman. is
an outstanding man with hounds and
a good rider and horseman. Although
he has been with the hunt only since
October, he knows the country thor

American pack of hounds is a treat for
the true lover of the sport. They are
handled we'll and are most suitable
for the country they hunt.

WORKS-RELIEF
SURVEY VETOED
Davey Says Measure Is
Impractical
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus.-Governor Davey last
week vetoed as thoroughly imprac-
tical" a measure sponsored by the CIO
which proposed to establish a commits
sion for the purpose of studying the
possibility of establishing a public
works relief program.
Although expressing the opinion
that the purpose and spirit of the bill
are praiseworthy, Governor Davey
said his objection was based upon the
ground that it is thoroughly imprac-
tical and would raise false hopes which
could never be attained.
The governor added that there was
not enough available money in the
state treasury, nor in the political sub
divisions, to do more than small
fraction of what the bill promises by
implication to accomplish such as
take care of the unemployment prob
lem in Ohio for many years to come
through a public works relief pro-
gram.
Inasmuch as the object of the bill
could not, in his opinion, be attained,
the governor said he believed it an
unwise gesture to waste $4,000 which
the bill appropriates for the proposed
commission.
