Title With Power /or City Work,
When interviewed this morning
regarding the proposed improvement
or the upper Tar river. Congressman
Small Htated to a representative of
the Da'jy News that he believed the
b**Srtto?*jr practicable
and oae which would b' of immense
benefit to the cities of Rocky Mount,
Tarboro, Greenville and Washing
ton.
"Wr had a meeting In WaeMng
toa over a year ago," stated Mr.
Small, "at which Mr. Bernhard, of
New Orleans, was present and which
was also attended by a delegation of
about twelve prominent citizens of
Tarboro. The prpject was discussed
at that time and was enthusiastical
ly received by those who were ac
quainted, with the possibilities of
the work.
"By a series of locks and dams,
1 am sure enough water power could
be derived to furnish power for
transportation and lighting pur
pose* In the cities of Rocky Mount,
Tartoro, Greenville and Washing
ton. Thia power would be sold to
fhese. cities by the government at
V nominal cost and would provide a
;cod- sized revenue to pay for the
: ?St of the work."
Wheq asked whether he believed
'he project would be carried out at
*ny time in the near future, Mr.
3maU stated that he did not know,
but be felt suro that If the people
rea'ised the advantages ? both In
the way of powor and navigation ?
It would be agitated more than It Is
it present.
