THE EVENING REPORTS PROGRESS| INPOTOMAC SURVEY : Engineer Office Locates 25 Dam Sites—6 for Power Development. Pursuing a program first instituted by George Washington, in visualizing wa- ter-borne commerce between the West ( and the National Capital, the United States engineer office is forging ahead in its task of surveying the Potomac River between here and Cumberland, Md. E. J. Merrick, jr., clvil engineer in the office of Maj. Brehon Somervell, dis- trict_engineer for the War Department for the Washington area, explained to- day that about 25 dam sites have been Jocated by the surveying parties on the main Potomac River between Cumber- land and this clty, six of them poten- tially for hydro-electric development. The rest of the dams will be so-called wicket dams, which can be let down in periods of high flow to let the river run off. They are designed as aids to navi- gation. Waterway to Ohio River Planned. The ultimate program contemplates waterway development between Wash- ington and the Ohio River. The office of Maj. Somervell is concerned with the | program only as far as the Allegheny | Peak, for the drainage to the westward comes within the purview of the district engineer for the Pittsburgh, Pa., area. At present there are four parties, com- prising 24 men in all, working on the survey. Three are working out of Cum- berland, Md., and one out of Paw Paw. W. Va. Detailed surveys are being made as hydrographic studies. The wicket dams, Mr. Merrick ex- plained, will each be 3 or 4 feet wide, under the program, the only fixed por- tion of the dam being that attached to the bed of the river. Canals May Be Tunneled. If the program is developed to its conclusion, Mr. Merrick pointed out, it will mean that navigation up and down | the Potomac River will link up with | navigation on the Youghiogheny River, which drains_northwesterly into _the Monongahela River and into the Mis- sissippi River system. One of the prob- lems facing the engineers is the ques- tion of adequate water supply on high plateaus, and it is believed that a tun- neled system for. the canals will be| necessary through the crest of the| mountains. Where power dams can be used eco- nomically for navigable purposes, Mr. Merrick said, they will be formed into part of the great commercial waterway system, linking up the Potomac and Mississippi Valleys.
