provision in the house river and
harbor bill for a survey of the
French Broad river from Asheville
to Brevard.
This survey is to be made with a
view to removing certain wing dams
constructed in the seventies when it
was thought j^racticable to make the
river navigable to Brevard.
These (-ams now interfere with the
flow' of the river and affect the en
tire country round about. Their re
moval will help farming and sani
tary conditions.
These wing dams or dykes, were
constructed by the government some
years a^o for the purpose of making
the stream navigable but, for some
unknown reasons, no boats have ever
plied the French Broad from the
headv.^atcrs to Asheviile, and the
dykes have always been a hindrance
to and have been the means of darn

rich fertile bottoms cv^ry time wo

they are removed every property
owner along the river should do w^hat
he could to keep the river clear of
all trash of every description from
his premises.
