Compromlse Pla | Beauty of Area Hydro BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. ‘ With all parties interested in the | development of the upper Potomac lr'n or between the District Line and a point above Great Falls working to- gether. there appears to be & probabil- ity that plans may be worked out! which will permit saving of this area| for park purposes and at the same time | put to use the potential millions of horsepower which annually flow sea- ward. The diverging views—one thalt the area should be saved for park pur- Poses because of its virgin state, and the other that it should be used only | for power purposes, which would cover up the Falls by a gigantic lake—now | P appear to be converging so that plans | may be worked out which nm permit | of its use for both pu Saving of the Grtnl Falls from ob- | livion was one of the strong arguments | |used by those favoring the park de- | velopment. But Robert B. Morse, en- gincer who made an investigation for | the Maryland-National - Capital Park and Planning Commission, has now | come forward with a plan which under- | takes to wipe aside many of the argu- | ments against the use of the waters for | power. He believes that both park and power development can be combined.' Zoning Protection. Fears of factory development in the | metropolitan areas adfacent to the Capital and of the high capital cost of the project are put aside by the Maryland engineer. He meets the ar- {gument that once the suppiy of cur- rent is available from the proposed power project ft will be available in such volume that, in order to make the plant profitable, & patronage will have to be built up to take it, by pointing out that this should not affect the areas proposed for greater Washington, as these areas now are either zoned or in course of being zoned. With such a condition. large factory areas could ' not be established without permission of | the constituted authorities. Of course, there would be nothing to prevent m-‘ tories desiring cheap electric current | to establish themselves outside of the | zoned areas, either along the upper Potomac in country now unavailable for any other purpose or in the agri- cultural sections further away from the | ‘river banks. The Maryland engineer points out | that this extension would increase the county wealth and income, bscause | property would increase in value and the tax income would be greater than | it is on land that is now practically useless. There scems to be some fhisunder- | standing as to fust what is the mean- ing of the application of the Potomac | River Corporation for a preliminary permit to be issued by the Federal i Power Commission. It does not mean that the issuance of a permit at this {time is a license to proceed with any | power development that may be found feasible and profitable. The applica- tion which is being sought and fought merely requests the power commission | +to issue a preliminary permit. Plans Thorough Survey. ‘The company wants to make a thorough investigation of the water-| power possibilities in this vicinity. Ob- | | Viously, this is quite an expensive task and will cover a period of time. Unless | there is some gamble that the company might realize on this vast expenditure | of funds, no one would expend them. | | But the applicants, for there are three | v, get. by the permit, in fl,\unn\ to the right to make the survey, the ‘Priority: right to an 'authorization to | | 4 “iBulld In the event that the Federal| Power Commission decides to give away rights at all. If this were not so, & company seeking the rights might pend large amounts of money in deter- | mining that a power project was feas- | |ible, and then might lose it by having | | some other corporations coming on the | ground at the opportune time and ous:- ! ing it from a favored position. So at the end of three years lhould it be determined by the organization | getting the priority that a project is feasible, it could not do a thing until | [the power commission gave it the mm\ {10 use the power and this the com- mission could refuse. if, after a hearing of all parties concerned, it decided that it was not to the public interest to| grant such a permit so close to the| Capital. Bul on the other hand should the | ucommmion determine that power | | rights should be granted, then the com- | | ' pany which had spent the money in | | Optometric Fye Speeialist FOWER "AND PARK' SPONSORS CONVERGE ON FALLS PROJECT n Seen to Preserve Natural | Great Falls md another just above the {alls The lrrlnxrmmt of the dams In this manner_not only would save the falls for public view and posterity, but also \\nur d save in the Potomac many of the | small islands, which would not be sub- | merged by the impounded waters of the proposed low dams. 'his_system also would permit of a gradual building up of a market for the current, instead of having it all come on at the same time. In the lat- ter case, with the vast construction, the capital investment would be so great that in order to derive any income from it, it would be necessary to charge a very high rate, which might make the steam-produced current cheaper. Three Power Houses. Under the proposed park power plan, | with the three dams, there would be one | power house for each dam. It is point- | ed out that one of these could be built and put in commission at a time, so that the current could be marketed in comparatively small quantity. It neced not be sent into the District of Colum- | bia, and obviously would not unless ! the power company now serving cur- rent fn this city and vicinity found it could purchase thé water-produced power cheaper than it can manufac- ture it by steam. On the other hand, current could be and Yet Allow Plants. making the investigation would have the right to obtain th2 permit. New Dam Plan. One of the most serious objections to the use of the upper Potomac for power purposes has been the elimination of | Great Falls, which would be brought about by the construction of a high dam. However, Mr, Morse proposes that instead of the two great dams pro- posed under the plan of Maj. Tyler, that three dams be constructed of less height and so arranged that the im- pounded waters would not back up hlgh enough to wipe out th2 falls. One | of these dams, he proposes, should be | laced on the District Columbia- | '\xanh\nd line, another just below the needed, and the project would form a Lookforthe Red Signon Monday.
