Rep. Larsen
eyes bill
on rivers
ATLANTA (UPI) - State
Rep. George K. Larsen of At
lanta says he will introduce leg
islation in the next session of
the General Assembly to pro
tect several Georgia rivers
from channelization and dam
ming.
Larsen, a Republican, said
his bill would designate the
rivers as scenic and require
specific legislation before any
construction can be done along
the rivers.
He said the measure will not
include the Chattahoochee River
because Sen. Bob Walling of
DeKalb County is planning to
offer a bill to protect that river.
Larsen’s bill would affect the
Chattooga in northeast Georgia,
the Suwanee from its headwa
ters on the Flint River to Lake
Blackshear, the Ogeechee, the
Alapaha, the Jacks-Conasquga
and Alcovy.
