Black Warrior river navigation bill debated in congress
Washington reports discuss the proposed Black Warrior river improvement in Alabama to create water power via dams. A single 62 foot dam was favored for depth and cost, with a Birmingham company offering $200,000 plus $15,000 yearly rental for power, but amendments limited sales to ultimate consumers. The bill was pared to allow construction of a higher dam without power contracts, aiming to protect public interests while advancing navigation and power development. The Geological Survey reports large land withdrawals for power sites, signaling extensive untapped horsepower potential, to be considered at the National Rivers and Harbors Congress in December.
