Newman, divis ion engineer of the War depart-, ment, Atlanta, Ga., stated that the estimated cost of the recom mended dams was 27,194,000 with 225,000 annually for opera tion and maintenance. The res ervoirs would be need only for imponndlng excess water during floods and wonld Impound up to six Inches of flood rnn-off from the drainage areas above them.

The new survey and recom mendations replace former rec ommendations for flood control and power dam on the Tadkln, which were discarded by the Sen ate Commerce committee two years ago at the insistence of Chairman Bailey, whose position was that too much valuable lands would be Inundated and that the plan was primarily for power purposes.
