Water Power Plan Up To U.S. Engineers To Withhold Decision On Cumberland River Project Till December. Washington, Aug. 20 - The Federal Power Commission today received a report from Government engineers concerning the proposal to establish a $7,000,000 water power plant on the Cumberland River near Burnside, Pulaski County, to supply power possibly to Louisville and other cities and towns in Kentucky and adjacent States. The report was taken under consideration by Lieut. Col. William Kelly, chief engineer to the commission but its contents will not be made public until it is submitted to O.C. Merrill, executive secretary of the commission. The application to establish the proposed plant, however, was filed some months ago by J.S. Wallace, McDowell County, West Virginia. Later the application was changed to the firm name of the Wallace-Gunter Company, Mr. Wallace's associate being Charles H. Gunter, New York. Colonel Kelly said today that he recently received a letter from the applicants asking that because of the general business situation at the present time, the matter be held open by the commission until the end of October. The commission replied, Colonel Kelly said, informing the applicants that action will be postponed until December. The project according to an official outline in the records of the Federal Power Commission's office, is as follows: "Three dams in the Cumberland River, the first at a point one and a half miles above Burnside, the second one mile below the mouth of Laurel River and the third at Cumberland Falls to develop power for public utilities, the third dam to create a reservoir extending to Williamsburg, Ky. Dam No. 1 - Eighty-seven feet high, 850 feet long, located one and a half miles above Burnside. Develop 80,000 horse power. Dam No. 2 - Ninety feet high, 850 feet long, located one mile below mouth of Laurel River, Develop 26,700 horsepower. Dam No. 3 - Ninety one feet high, 950 feet long, located 2,500 feet above Cumberland Falls. Develop 53,300 horsepower. Upper dam bucks water sixteen miles to Williamsburg." No information could be obtained today regarding who is to finance the project, but it was said that this information will be available hen the application is acted on. Further details may be obtained when the repot of the Government engineers is made public soon. Sixty Kentuckians Sail For Orient.

Contributed. >From Pulaskian. The Journal is in receipt of a letter from J.L. McKechnie, a former Pulaskian, in which he talks about good roads. He says in part: "You will recall a few years back, I was always ready and willing to back up and support any move to get navigable water in Cumberland River from Nashville to Burnside, as I thought it due the agricultural territory through which this stream flows, and no other outlet except by boat to the markets which were demanding the products which are found in the vast territory from Celina, Tenn., to Mill Springs. Now I am not so anxious to see this river improved, as I think it will never answer the greatest need of the largest number of people. If Federal money is to be spent in that region, it should be spent on a highway from Somerset to Nashville, Tenn., and from Somerset to Chattanooga, Tenn. A good trunk line in each of these direction will not only benefit any community or city but will be beneficial to the entire nation. I'm for the Cincinnati, Lexington, Somerset and Chattanooga route, and the Mt. Vernon, Corbin, Jellico, Knoxville route also." City School Notes. The City Schools will start on Monday, September 5th.
