Pipe to Kanawha Cannot Be Used for Intake Says Cogan
The West Virginia Water Company manager H M Cogan said the emergency intake site on the Kanawha river may not be used for that purpose until conditions after December 15 are clear. If unusable, Elk river water will remain the supply, though Kanawha water is preferred. Cogan noted Kanawha samples were sent to New York for analysis and pollution from Braxton county chemical plants could reach Charleston in about two weeks. The company may convert the line to a distribution pipe if not used. A separate bill to fund crippled children, 2 million annually for several years, is being prepared for Congress with West Virginia seeking 1000000 for 1931 and 1932.
