High Point Hydro Project Faces Challenge in Raleigh Hearings
The High Point proposed hydroelectric plant on the Yadkin River sparks a heated public hearing in Raleigh over extending revenue bond powers beyond June 30. The dispute centers on whether the city can build and operate its own plant against private Duke Power interests, after a $2.6 million PWA grant and a $3.17 million city-financed share.

City Fight Over Power Bonds Faces Supreme Court
The dispute centers on issuing revenue bonds under a debt limit amendment. J. Paul Williamson began a friendly suit challenging the right, but Duke Power, High Point, and Yadkin County contend over control, rates, and property impact. City officials claim potential rate cuts if the city operates its own plant. Separate Yadkin suits prompt further action after a judge denied intervention. The case advances to Supreme Court after charter amendments and merits hearings.
