TVA Case Heads to Supreme Court in TVA Power Ruling
The Fourth Circuit upheld TVA power sales as constitutional, paving way for a Supreme Court review. Alabama Power stockholders argued the act overstepped congress, while TVA supporters hailed the ruling linking it to power for industry, navigation, and flood control. The decision, written by Judge Nathan P. Sryan, preserves TVAs authority to sell surplus electricity while contending private competition is permissible.

Senate Passes General Bills Amid Debates In Nashville
The senate approved several general bills while delaying action on PWA TVA proposals. The first PWA bill titled The Public Works Act of 1935 would let cities borrow on bonds to fund projects with revenue-backed bonds exempt from referendums.
