Pacolet Project Is
Favored By Maj. Hall
Engineer Points Out Value
of Laks at C. of C.
Meeting.
Comparing the relative values
of the two lake projects pre
sented for the consideration of
Western North Carolina, Inc.,
1 ecently, Major Warren Hall;
secretary of that organization
and hydraulic engineer made a
talk ' to the members of the
Tryon Chamber of Commerce
at the second bi-monthly meet
ing held last night at Oak Hall.
In pointing out the merits of
the two projects, Lake Lanier j
and Lake Pacolet (so termed
-for convenient). Major Hall
dwelt to some extent upon the
power possibilities of the latter
project and its income produc
ing factor indicating that tb*V
proposition would bey cwftj*
eration by ^
cause of its vflHrc ^value to
the community and its conse
quent appeal to outside capital.
In the event that either project
is adopted he pointed out that
Tryon would undoubtedly havej
a beautiful body of water, ai
thing which is of vital neces
sity to this section in compet
ing with Northern resorts.
Major HaM further strongly
urged for obvious reasons the
name Lanier for either proposi
tion that is finally developed.
Committee reports were made
foDowed by a short address
by Mr. Boykin of Camden, S. C.
in which he pointed out the
growth of that resort. It later
developed that Mr. Boykin is
vitally interested in water pow
er development and was in this
section in the interests of t any
power project that may bdj
available. '?> _
