EDITORIAL
PROBLEM WITHOUT SOLUTION,
' 1 The TV A report Outlining flood problems on the
French Broad River in the vicinity of Marshall was
presented to' approximately 40 interested people Mon
day .afternoon at the REA Building here.
The meeting brought together some of
the top brass" of the TVA, including Colonel Harry
E. Brown, director of N. C. Department of Water Re- -sources;
James E. Goddard, Joseph E. Enloe, and
Marvin S. Shadel, TVA specialists. Also present was
John Hampton, Director, WNC Regional Planning
Commission. Representatives of CP&L, French Broad
Electric Mem. Co-op, and about 20 interested citizens
of Marshall made the meeting highly informative and
interesting.
Splendid and comprehensive booklets recently '
published by the Division of Water Control Planning, .
TVA, were distributed and proved most informative. -a
Data and pictures also make the booklet' highly en- ,. ,
tertaining and valuable to keep.
" Much credit for this splendid report is due Reed y
A. Elliott, Chief Water! Control Planning Engineer;
Albert S, Frye, James Smallshaw, James W. Bever
age, Myron O. Jensen, Joseph S. Enloe, Margaret C.
Longmire, Elizabeth G. Breeden, Robert Forbes, and
many others.
,' Mr. Goddard explained the purpose of the data
compiled as those present reviewed the booklet.
Other top men spoke briefly and then questions
were asked concerning a possible solution to our
dangerous location in regard to past and future high
waters and floods.
No Immediate Solution
' ''V,.' . . . - ..
It was agreed that Marshall is situated in a most
vulnerable location in regard to floods. Our people
are well aware of this, having seen the town destroy
ed in 1916 and almost washed away in 1940. A high
wall along the right edge of the river was one sug-
gested solution which would lessen the chances of
the town washing away but would not protect, the tj
Island or the far side along the river. This, however, t
would demand a cost which is prohibitive. Another
suggested solution is to build retaining dams up- ',
stream above Asheville.v This would hejp, of course,
but no immediate plans for such dams are being ' -made.
Building a dam on Ivy River would tielPv but
where is the money coming from to build it? More - ,
land conservation would help, but would ; this be
sufficient "flood proof ?" . 'ti'f
Ail these suggestions were aired but Mr. God
dard just about summed it up by saying the safest ;
way was to "keep man away from water and water
away from man." But how? He also suggested that
the surest way to protect the business section from
washing away was to "move pn the hill; perhaps to
the by-pass." '
. Until something more feasible is advanced, we ,T .
suggest that we continue to pray that the river doesn't 1 ."
wash us away.

LIBRARY PROSPECTS BRIGHT
'j From, all present indicatiohs, the main branch of s ,;
the country library will be moved from Hot Springs
to Marshall, probably next month. ,;
This comes as good news to many local citizens
who realize the value of a library. It has also been t
indicated that branch libraries will be maintained at
Hot Springs and Mars Hill. This is also encouraging
news for citizens of these two towns who have shown
.unrelenting interest in the ..library, (service. . t
In last week's editorial an 'appeal was made for ' 1 '
a suitable building with low rent so that the niain ,
library could return to the tsounty seat. Indications
at that time revealed little chance for the transition. ,
However, considerable public spirit has been shown , .
during the past few days which makes it now almost
certain that Marshall will have a library. - r
t Hajor credit belongs to Rex Allen, chairman of .
the Library' Board, -and Dr.J. iA-McElroy. Dr. Mc- .
rircy has offered the building, on .Mam Sweet now
hou : '3 the ASC 6ffices at a reduced rental for a li- ' :
trary. In a talk with Dr.;McElroy ,this week, he stat-
ed that he would be glad to reduce the 'rent in 6rder .
to l ave a library here. He is a firm belieVer, as is his
' t1-"- a library in Ilarshall could be invaluable.'
