Jadwin proposes dam and lock replacements on Kanawha river
Major General Jadwin urged Congress to replace locks and dams 2 3 4 and 5 on the Kanawha with two locks and dams on the Kanawha river. He said operation costs would fall about 18 000 yearly, and the project could save coal transport and power costs. The plan would let the chief of engineers decide lock design and could attract power company interest for water use.
