Va., August 24.—Residents of the territory sur- rounding the upper reaches of the Potomac River and its tributaries are being given their opportunity to ex- press their views on the proposed water power development at a public hearing being held in the Harpers Ferry High School this afternoon by Brehon Somervell of the Army Engineer Corps. The hearing today, it is expected, | will be attended not only by the people | of this historic town which stands at |the fork of the Shepandoah and | Potomac Rivers, but also by citizens of many other nearby places along | the area within which the power dam would be erected. Company Replies to Protests. The Potomac River Corporation, ap- plicant for the permit to develop the | water power along the Potomac, is | represented at the hearing today by Robert J. Bulkley, president, and Col. Charles Keller. | Mr. Bulkley has just filed with Maj. | Somervell. who is conducting the hearing in order to prepare the report of the War Department on the project, a lengthy statement in reply to the | protests that have been raised against | the power project from many sources | on the ground that it would destroy { the natural beauty of Great Falls and the valley of the Potomac between the Falls and Washington. Inasmuch as this letter deals prin- | cipally with that part of the power project nearest to Washington, it probably will not play as prominent part in the hearing here today as it wiil at the sessions to be held in ‘Washington tomorrow. Park Hearing Tomorrow. Most of the discussion that i« taken place since the filing of ti application with the Federal Power Commission in May has dealt with the | harmful effect the project would have {on the proposed park area between | Great Falls and Washington. That | phase of the questéen will be taken | up at the meeting in the auditorium of the Interior Department in Wash- ingon a 1 o'clock omorrow aftrnoon. _The hearing today is to get the | viewpoint of the citizens of this sec | tion on the effect of a power dam at Harpers Ferry and storage dams near Charles Town, W. Va., Broadway, Va., near Romney, W. Va., and near Berke- ley Springs, W. Va., Canal Officials Interested. G. L. Nicolson, an official of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal between Cumberland and Washington, came to the hearing today, accompanied by Edmund Brady, a Washington at- otrney, to observe developments. The hearings to be held today and tomorrow by Maj. Somervell are pre- liminary to final consideration by the Federal Power Commission itself. The War Department makes reports to the Power Commission on all such applications before the Power Com- mission itself acts. In his notice of the hearing today Maj. Somervell emphasized the fact that the pend- ing application of the Potomac River Corporation would not, if granted, authorize the company to begin work on the power project, but would be merely a preliminai permit under which the company would perfect its plans. The company would have to appear hefore the Federal Power Commission the second time and ap- i ply for a license to begin construc- | tion, Objections Held at Fauit. | In the letter of Mr. Bulkley to Maf. Somervell he makes the following com- | ment on the opposition of the National | Capital Park and Planning Comm ion to the power project: | “While the opinion of some of the members of the Park and Planning Commission in matters of scenic beauty is entitled to great weight, we believe that in the brief which they submitted insufficient weight has been given to the favorable aspects of our project judged from the scenic and other standpoints and that unduly great weight has been given fo dam- age alleged as likely to resuit from the project.” Mr. Bulkley contends that the varia- tions in the flow of the Potomac River from hi to low stages is not desirable to park development and that the Po- tomac River Corporation proposes to equalize this flow as far as it is com- mercially feasible. Mr. Buckley says the company questions whether the Park and Planning Commission has given adequate thought to the low water conditions referred to. The company concludes the letter by expressing the belief that its appli- cation should be granted promptly so that the company may begin the fur- ther survey and investigation neces- sary to settle the details of the proj- ect. The letter states that the com- pany already has expended more than $110,000 on preliminary surveys and engineering investigations. o SEES GOOD U. S. FLEET.
