AdvTrtLng Medium ? VOLUME 63 BUREAU OFFICERS ? Offic Warren County Farm Bureau board of directors here this wee Halifax F As Inter Another obstacle to the granting of a license to Virginia Electric and Power Company to erect a dam at Gaston was removed this week when Halifax Paper Company stated! it would "not further pursue its objections and that it would not intervene in the' proceedings before the Federal Power Commission. The views of the paper company were set forth in a public statement on Tuesday by K. J\ Adams, executive vice president of the company. On Wednesday, B. F, Turner,*1 Weldon newspaperman, who had intervened in behalf of sportsmen rights on the Roanoke, said that he would withdraw as an intervener. These were the last recognized intervenors of the multi-million dollar project a few miles upstream from' Roanoke Rapids. Construction of the much disputed Gaston hydro-electric project may begin next spring. Should this be the case, acm cording to power company officials, some 1500 men would a, be employed for about three years on the project. The Lake created by the dam would back water to the foot of Kerr Dam. It was stated that when and if the Federal Power Commission gives final approval to VEPCfPS application and amendments, construction plans will be pushed aggressively. While Hapco and Turner refrained from becoming parties to an agreement on the Gaston project between three North Carolina state agencies and Vepco, both stated they will not pursue any further their objections' to granting a license to Vepco to construct the Gaston project. Vepco's application and amendments are still pending before the Federal Power Commission which has held one hearing and has scheduled a second for December 15 on the original application filed August 31, 1051, and on April )r 1. 1050, amendment cies^and Vepco partalniniMto Si tiorar d 1 A/Mt e b# In Conctruction of the project t20-m i c< slightly more than 50 miles.
