TO LINK

Birmingham Steel District
Wants Tennessee and

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 10:
fIJpy-.The Birmingham iron ana
steel district today sought an out
let for the products of its mines
and furnaces in. a waterway con-
meeting the Warrior and Tennes-
The proposed link would give
this section, rich in coal, ana IRON
deposits, direct water connec-
ton with the Mississippi river
system and the Great Lakes. A
shorter canal between Birming,,
ham and the Warrior river would
give the entire area a naVlgable.
waterway to the Gulf of Mexico.
IAN organization to promote the
proposed canal had been formed.
It includes industrial and civic
leaders and members; Of the
states congressional delegation.
Army engineers already have
begun a survey of the route.
which would run from the War
1ior at Birminghampoft to the
Tennessee at Guntersvillc. The
entire route would be approx
mately 1870 miles in length. but
only about 800 miles of that
would be an actual canal as 10
Gust Fork and Spring creeks con-
stitute an almost continuous
waterway between the two points.
Cost of the, project has been
estimated at between $5O,000,0 0U
and $4,000, 200 the latter figure
to- include an operating company
with all necessary barges, and
equipment. 49, =,
Approximately 20 Jocks would
be necessary to make the route
navipable for huge barges carry
ing 10 train loads of freight in
one tow, which are contemplated.
Engineers are surveying the
route for geological data. water
resources and possible tonnage to
be carried over the waterway.
Arplane pictures are being made
of every foot of ground along the
route. " =.
Attic canal: associations initial
meeting here, Representative Joe
stsrnes, D.. Ala, predicted the
waterway If constructed, would
become the "most:: important in
land TRANSFORMATION link in the
world" q>-,,,
He said such a, canal had "vast
possibilities" from the standpoint
of national defenses in war time.
Consummation of plans for the
waterway would assure >Birming-

The growing of ramie, a shrub

fabrics, promises. to become. a new
industry in Lake county.

There is always a ready mar

has not been grown extensively in

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (UP).
Eiectro-proccss operation in the
chemical and metal industries will
require one-third more power
within the next five years. the
federal power commission has
estimated. .ar
It marked the western states
for a large part of this increase
because of the, proximity of ores
and the potential availability of
cheap. hydroelectric power. -
In report on power require

industries" the commission stated
that such operations consume 13,-
324, 100000 Ikilowatt hours an
nually, or more than one-tenth as
much as is generated for public
use. 1t estimated consumption
will increase to 17,781, 10000 XII
lowatt hours in five years. g..
The study was undertaken to
indicate new requirements suffi-
GENTLY in advance sto permit the
orderly development of power re-
sources to meet the increased
needs" -

1t was estimated that power
used in the aluminium industry
would increase from 2,597, 000,-a
900 to $500, 100000 kilowatt
hours and in the. copper industry
would decrease froma 2,6000,000
to 2, 500,O00.000.. The greatest an
ticipated increases are from 39,-
100000 to f0O,000,000. in mag

100. 000,000 in calcium carbide.
