ENGINEERS ALREADY ENGAGED
IN PRELIMINARY WORK
ON GREAT PROJECT
KNOXVILLE, Term., May 22. (JP)
—This rough, mountainous section
where for years the inhabitant*
have gained a livelihood from
small-scale farming and coal dig
ging is awakening as President
Roosevelt’s gigantic Tennessee bas
in project gets under way.
The stage is the Cove Creek dam
j site on tiny Clinch river, which
I winds serpent-like through the
j hills in its rush to the Tennessee
! river.
Already more than 100 men—U.
S. Army engineers and their help
ers—have pitched their tents in
the area and polished their sur
veying instruments preparatory
to running flowage lines for the
| huge reservoir that will be created
by damming the river.
SITE NEAR KNOXVILLE
The Clinch river, born in south
west Virginia, is fed by a multitude
of Cumberland mountain streams.
Twenty-five miles north of
Knoxville and about the same dis
tance from the Kentucky border,
the rivre bounds between sloping
mountain sides. Its name comes
from Cove Creek, a small stream
emptying into the river a few hun
dred yards above.
The dam, which engineers say
will he one of the world’s largest,
will be 225 feet high, more than
, twice the height of Wilson dam jit
Muscle Shoals, 250 miles southeast
ward on the Tennessee.
Parts of five counties will be in
undated.
RESERVOIR IS BIG JOB
Preparing the resevoir floor will
be a gigantic task in itself. All
timbers must be cleared from the
heavily forested basin floor. Cav
erns that might turn water thru
some other territory must be plug
ged with cement.
Scores of cemeteries must be re
moved. Preliminary estimates have
been placed at $85,280

highways and bridges is estimated
at more than $5,000,000.

the bottom of more than 200 feet
of water when the resevoir is fill
ed, and the coal mining town of
Caryville will be partly submerged
Scores of schools, churches and
farm homes will be covered with
water.
Estimates made in 1930 placed
the total cost at $37,540,643, in
cluding the main dam at $6,842,
836, spillway at $1,810,839, power
house at $4,903,457 and barge lift
at $2,983,850, but Major Robert R.
