Water Power Law Proposed for West Virginia Development Authority
A proposed 1943 bill by Senator Earl H. Smith would create a state power authority of five trustees to develop and distribute hydroelectric energy. The authority could borrow up to 40 million dollars from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to develop Cheativer water power resources, promising job relief for about 5,000 workers over four to seven years and affordable electricity. The measure likens its aims to the former toll-bridge system now under the state road commission, with terms for trustee appointments and a declaration of waters as a state resource for commerce.
