Ep.os Springs and Others To Be Covered By Chain of Lakes (By George W. McCoy, Staff Cor respondent in Ashevillc Citizen) BRYSON CITY, Aug. 7.-? Five new hydro-electric plants to harness the turbulent Tennessee Rivei and its tributaries in Western North Carolina will be constructed in the colossal power development program of the Aluminum Company of Amer ica, it was revealed here today. 1 Fully $80,000,000 will be expend ! ? d on these developments and this j sum added to the cost of the three plants already in operation or under way, will bring the total investment of the Aluminum company in this section to approximately $125,000. 000. The plans disclosed here iall for the wiping out of the villages of Bushnell, Almond, Wesser Creek, Forney's Creek, Noland, Epps Springs, and possibly other commu nities. Details of the program include: (1) The building of five* new dams; one at Montana, two at Bush nell, on'.* at Needmore, and one at Aquone. (2) The relocation of some 20 miles of the tracks of the southern Railway below Bryson City. (3) The elimination of the 15-mile tracr.S line of the Southern Railway | from Bushnell to Fontana. (4) The relocation of State High way No. 10 below Bryson City for a distance of some five miles.
