If Senate, j.bcommittee's Expected Soon NORRIS MACHINERY TO BE MOVED HERE FOR CONSTRUCTION W'..3? awituv- final .-lion in Congress on the Hiwassee TV A clam ap ; rial ion which was expected the tv sen ; this week, encouraging rep . :s ,;.vne h re from Washington. 'llowing the action c?f the subeo: mittoi <?f the define ienc y apprnriiat.o - to reinstate the Hiawassee : j. .eject i the TV A program, it was j : uncur.c that the suhc mmittee hac) approved a million dollars for the beginning f Vhe dam. Although the action must be accepted by the senate committee and the senat and concur with the house committee and the house, a press statement Tuesday morning said that Senator Bailey. wh has fought unrelenllessly for th Hiawassee ap | nrorriation, "has positive assurance that *1.000,000 <1 the new TV A ap propriation will be earmarked for the purpose of getting construction ! of the <iav on the Hiawasste rivor (at Fowler's Bend. 12 miles below heie) under way." Senator Bailey's statement cant after he had conferred with Chairman Adams of the senat- appropriations subcommittee. Feel* Grateful "This will introduce the TV A to I North Carotin- f aim wc ieei we should be grateful t the commit, tee," Bailey said. Tht dam is to cost $12,000,000. The $1,000,000 will be sufficient to move the machinery now being- used on the Norris Dam Hearing eomple. tion to the new dam site on th*Hiawassee near F wler's Bend. Th* n^x; congress will appropriate additional funds to complete the project. The $12,000,000 estimate does not i include p< wer units but these are to | be added as th demand for |>;>wer develops. Sen. Bailey's assurances Tuesday from Senator Adams confirms the rep rt last week that the Hiawassee dam money would he made available Senator Reynolds and Representative Weaver, along with Senator Bailey, waged a determined fight to i g t the item included in the appropriation committee. The amendment provid s for an appropriation of $4,000.000 f r additional dams in the ar a but the Hiawassee is the only one specifically ordered to be constructed. For this purpose $1,000,000 is earmarked, the balance to go I for other dams to be sel cted by the j TV A from a list of several proposals. Reinstatement Before Congress It is generally belitved that, in I spite of the fact that the reinstate ment of the appropriation must go before the house and s nate this week for confirmation that the subcommittee's approval would hold the Hiawassee dam appropriation intact. More wires and letters were dispatched from Murphy this week thanking all the senators and con grtssmen for their interest in the matter which hag b en so evident, and urging fir. th r support. Also similar word was sent to various out-of-town organizations that cooperated in bringing Cherokee county's plea for the dam to the attention of Washingt u officials.
