Ma ttock said llu.t no improvements in that region need be held up o" de layed on account ol the discussion of the suggested dam near Ashevilh.

The topography of this site attorn* a natural reservoir basin which, con sidered from its physical aspect* ] alone, is one of the best such site- in the Tennessee Valley. However, tne| preliminary data available at the present time rigarding this proposes; project appear to indicate that the* cost of water power produced there would be so much greater than the cost of similar power produced ai • f hi i- locations, that we are forced to the core)union that the construe ion of a dam at this site is not eeonom - eelly justified at the present time. “The authority is at pre-ent bavin.:, earrii il nut a topographic survey of the whole valley and it ;s pos-ibl. that there may ultimately be discover ed one or more site® in this locality where it will be profitable at tome future time to construct a hydro electric plant or storage reservoir. Point Plan.- Arc Consistent “In the meantime, no improvement of any kind need to be held up or lie h yid on ace mnt of the discussion o! the suggested Asheville dam. A eon fere we with the North Carolina Stat Highway i ffieials has developed that the present highway construction plans are entirely consistent with possible future development of reser voir sites in this region and that; highway work can proceed without delay. “The TV A will continue to keep in close touch with highway plans and . ther major projects that may need coordination with the best economic development of our water resources, and will continue to promote the de- j velopment of these resources so far as it is able by the compilation of records of stream flow and other data and surveys.” Mr. Bock’s statement was made public bv W.
