TVA MAY BUILD
AUXILIMDAM
Director Lilienthal To
Make Personal Study
Of Project
The following story. which ap-
' peared Sunday in The Ashejille
Citizen-Times and was writtcnVby
Walter" Brown, Washington corr
spondent for that, paper, is of spe
cial importance-, to the people
throughout this section:
"Construction of an auxiliary
dam on the Hiwassee river near
Murphy became an imminent pos
sibility as TVA Director Uavid E.
Lilienthal gave assurances that he
would personally launch an .im
mediate investigation of the pro
posal ', advanced . by citizens of
.Murphy.
"In a conference with Represen
tative .Weaver (IK, N. C.) and ' C,.
J). Mayficld, president of the Mur
phy chamber of commerce, the
TVA director stated that he hoped
to visit Murphy soon and set in
motion the wheels vital to the real
ization of the project. '
Will, Leave Mud Bank
"Representative Weaver and
Mayfield pointed out that the now
nearly-completed Hiwassee dam
will back water up the river to
more than a mile above Murphy.
When water is drawn out of the
dam,, a.s is anticipated every third
year, large and unsightly mud
banks will be left along the lake
bed all through the Murphy region,
they said. It was stressed that this
situation would be disastrous to the.
attractiveness of the region from
the tourist point of view.
"The , attractiveness of this ter
ritory to the tourist is of vital im
portance to the well-being of Mur
phy," Weaver told Lilienthal. ''Un
less some steps are taken to pre
vent the recurrence of unsightly
mud banks every three years, se
vere economic damage may result."
, "Lilienthal assured his caller.
that the basic purpose of TVA
was to aid and develop the region
rather than damage it, and that
every possible consideration would
be given to' plans to prevent this
frpm happening.
Would Preserve Scenic Beauty
"Weaver and May field stressed
that an. auxiliary dam" could be
built at ia .site about a mile below
Murphy that would hold back the
vyater in the low years and pre
serve the beauty of the area at
very little expense.
"Lilienthal agreed to take the
proposal up with TVA's engineers
at once and expressed a wish to
visit Murphy next week to ', per
sonally survey the region.
"Both Weaver and May field ex
pressed the belief that every ef
fort would be made to forestall
any scenic damage to the Murphy
area."
