Boundary Line Dispute Over Savannah River Islands
The State of South Carolina and Georgia face a drawn out debate over river ownership and island rights. Governor Heyward notes the 1787 Beaufort treaty set the Savannah and Tugaloo rivers as boundary, with islands assigned to Georgia while the main channel halves belong to both sides. Attorneys general Gunter and Hart will study the matter, aided by A. S. Salloy Jr. and Louis Magid seeking a definite ruling on state lines and water power rights.
