PAGE FITE WORK TO BEGIN ON LITTLE HA EARLYJN FALL South Carolina Project to Employ 18.000 Men Is $37,000,000 Undertaking Ship Route Included COLUMBIA. S. C. (UP) Last legal obstacles have been removed for in auguration of . "Little TVA" pro ject In the low lan da of South Car olina. It le the Santee-Cooper hydro electric and navigation project, to cost an estimated 37,000,000. Actual work la not expected to begin until early fall, but already preliminary steps have been taken, according to, the South Carolina public service au thority, administrative body for the development. Since the state legislature approv ed the undertaking In 1034. private utilities have attacked It from every angle. Lower courts over-ruled them, however, and recently the U. S. su preme court ended the lengthy legal battle with a decision favorable to the project.' Obtaining data from a private en gineering firm that first planned the project 13 years ago, will be the first step in actual work. A site of 3,000 acres in Berkeley, Calhoun, - Claren don and Orangeburg countier will be purchased as a preliminary move. To Employ 18.000 Men Approximately 18,000 men will be put to work on the project, clearing reservoirs 50 miles long and building two dams to divert the swift, muddy Ban tee river down a sharp decllno Into the Cooper river near Plnopolls, tn Berkeley county. There power plant with an output of 430,000,000 kilowatt hours annually, Is to be con structed. The project also calls for a 175 mlle navigation channel between Charleston and Columbia, and pro duction and distribution of suffic ient electrical current to serve a field extending from Rallgh, N. C to Athens, Ga., and eastward to the Atlantic. In addition to the electrical out put, the project Is expected to effect an annual saving of $1,500,000 In freight rates. Officials estimate the project will reclaim 160,000 acres of farm lands and permit cutting of 500,000 board feet of timber while providing a pay roll of $85,000 weekly for the three years necessary to complete the un dertaking. The plan Is to take the San tee's water across a watershed divide by means of a reservoir and dam, and dump It Into the smaller Cooper river, thus creating electric power and locks to provide transportation, 2 Lakes To Be Created Two lakes will be created, one cov ering 50,000 acres and the other 78, 000 acres. While no villages will be submerged as was the case In building the Gll fcertsvllle dam project tn the Ten nessee valley, many historic old plan tations will be wiped out by waters of the two huge lakes. The 181.000 acres Involved" In the project do not Include any railroads or hard-surfaced highways. Only 9.000 acres are listed as high grade upland and 80,000 acres are In swamp land. Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, consulting geologist of Clemson college, report ed to the authority that within 50 miles of the project are many re sources capable of development which are not now used commer cially. Many Natural Resources These natural resources Include marl deposits; phosphate rock, tim ber for paper and hardwood, granite, kaloln, sand and other products. Veg etables for canning, cotton for text iles and tobaoco are crops most com monly grown In the area. The project will follow a course that was charted 150 years ago when rich planters built a canal to con nect the two rivers and act as a trade artery between Charleston, then a famous seaport, and upstate South Carolina. This canal, 33 miles long, was dug with slave labor and cost $30,000 a mile. It required eight years to com plete. Boats used the canal for many i years, until seasonal failure of the ' water supply and the growing use . of railroads made it no longer pro- , fi table. 'Today only traces of the once busy canal remain, and many of the his toric old plantations along its bank have long since been abandoned. 4 BIO APPLEGATE.
