George E. Campsen, field chief of .lie. surveying party, said to- , day 'hat possibilities seem to he i very good for the construction of a dam u'Mizlng the stored water for power and flood control. He said that in 1930 during the .idminlstraHon of President Hoover that a hill was pa.ssed authorizing the engineering de partment under the War Depart- ' ment to make surveys and stu dies of the various streams in the coun’ry, with a view of de veloping the water resources of the country as to drainage power and flood control. During that study the upper part of the Yadkin basin, from I North Wilkesboro uostream, was only seamed ‘>ud with but little [ field. work. On the basis of that | reconnais'ance or scant informa-1 tiou a report was formed in the Charleston office ana submitted to the division office of engineers in Richmond. Va,. and in turn to the chief of engineers in Wash ington. After going over 308 reports from all over the country the chief's office selected what was thought to be the best possibili ties and issued orders that a fur ther study and survey be made of various streams—the upper Yadkin b-'ing one of those select ed.
