FRENCH BRAOD DAM i
MEETING ON FRIDAY j
(Continued From Page One)
said that he was opposed to building
of the large storage dam. However,
he said that in his opinion, the TVA
was going to build a dam at Long
Shoals on a 2,200 foot level, pructt
cally destroying the county. In event
such a dam is constructed ,the mayor
said, it is his belief that the TVA
will take over the entire water shed
of the French Broad in order to pre
vent erosion. While he was opposed
to construction of the dam, the mayor
said that he believed lighting the
proposition was useless.
W. E. Breese declared that he was
unalterably opposed to construction
by the government of any storage
dam. He told of his visit together
with Ralph Ramsey and A. H. Harris
to the offices of the TVA and of
their conference with Chief Engineer
C. A. Bock. No definite information
was obtained, Mr. Breese said, other
than that the engineir said that a
200-foot dam was not being contem
plated.
While no actual plans were dis
closed to the party of Transylvania
men, the speaker pointed out that
work had been stopped on the Boyls
ton Road, the Pisgsh National For
est road and the state prison camp
at Calvert, pointing out that this
was evidence in his mind that the
TV A informed the state highway
officials to hold up such work pend
ing further developments.
In. conference with E. .8. Jeffress.
chairman of the state highway com
mission, Mr. Breese said that he re
ceived the information that there
would be no 200-ioot dam. but that a
125-foot dam was being studied.
Need for unity of action by peo
ple of Transylvania and Henderson
counties was stressed by the speaker ,
in order that the best interests of the
two counties as well as those of the
Tennessee -Valley Authority could
best be served. Mr. Breese was of the
opinion that there is a possibility of

of citizens was bad.
Surveys are under way to deter- j
mine the most feasible sites for addi
tional dams on the Tennessee River
and tributaries, Arthur E. Morgan,
chairman of the TV A, announced
Sunday. The surveys and studies are
being made under the direction of
Carl A. Bock .assistant chief engi
neer.
“Contrary to widespread opinion,”'
Mr. Bock said, “definite sites for ad
ditional dams have not been located.
Before this can be done many time
consuming operations are inevita
ble.
First, it must be determined where
additional dams would be of most,
value in a crogressive, integrated de
velopment ‘of the entire Tenessee
river watershed, having in mind the
well-being of all citizens.
“These studies require time. A de
tailed topographic survey which en
ables engineers to Jcompute the
length and height of the dam, the
cubic yards of earthwork and con
crete involved, best arrangement of
power house, spillway and other
auxiliary structures, and other prob
lems must be worked out. Of vital im
poitance is the nature and condition

The Keith Tire company is one of
the foremost wholesale and retail tire
concerns in this part of the country
and enjoys an ever increasing patron
age.
The present day demands lor auto
mobile and truck tires have made
every manufacturer and dealer awake
to the fact that they had to build a
tire strong enough to stand the wear
and tear of the very unusual condi
ions created by the tremendous speed
and the improvement of the bpaking
systems have caused a decided in
crease in friction on tires.
Realizing this the General Tire
company decided long ago to build a
tire to meet all these demands and to
go even farther, they have manufac
tured a tire that is fully strong
enough to not only take care of this
excessive demand but will more than
meet ail emergency demands that
may come at any time because of the
unusual traffic conditions that are
now to be found in every section of
our country.
The Keith Tire Co. is one of the
most thoroughly dependable tire con
cerns in our community and their
service is one that would do credit to
much larger centers and it is needless
to say that they huve thousands of
satisfied users in this section.
In this business review it is a
pleasure to compliment the General
Tireand Rubber company upon its
wonderful tire and upon their fore
sight in selecting the Keith Tire Co.
as its. agency. We feel that the de
pendability of their tire is no less
than the responsibility of this reputa
ble firm.

of tbe foundation, and It must be
thoroughly explored; perhaps more
than anything it influences the cost
of the d3m. This usually takes several
months. Frequently dams are located j
in such inaccessible places that spec-,
ial highways must be built to handle
the enormous amount of materials. A
study of the flow of the river, of
the capacity of the reservoir and of
cost estimates on each of the sites
that appear most favorable, must be
made. And finally, after the exact
location is decided designers and
draftsmen must make the actual
working plans. More tpan a thousand
drawings had to be made before work
on the Norris Dam could start.”
Mr. Bock said that residents ot tno
valley should consider the authority’s
power development as a single unit,
rather than as the creation of a num
ber of individual power dams.
“It is an error of judgment for the
people living near the upper tribu
taries, for instance, that a storage
reservoir there is for the particular
benefit of persons living elsewhere in
the valley,” he said. “We are not
proposing to build seven or eight
separate power dams, operated indi
vidually xor the benefit of the imme
diate vicinity. All dams, wherever
located, will be linked by transmis
sion lines and will thus form a single
system. Regard the whole project as
'one huge dam,’ if you wish to put it
that way. No matter in which sec
tion of the valley the electricity is
generated, it will he available to all
sections. But each of these individual
dams, under construction, or in con
templation, is needed to create this
unified .integrated system. The co
ordinated operation of storage reser
voirs as a unified system will also
be used to secure a maximum degree
of flood control and improvement of
navigation on the Tennessee.’
