Dam prospects brighten with new board action
Northampton County Commissioners, with four of five present, voted unanimously to restore regular valuation on Virginia Electric & Power Co. property, despite a blanket ten percent countywide raise. A 300 percent tentative rise had halted dam plans on the Roanoke River, where a five to six million dollar hydro project could bring work for hundreds over three years. Miss Bessie Weatherspoon of Richmond visits her grandmother in the county this week.
