It Is 1 claimed that It would revolutionise the .whole Industry of tho west of Bngland and even supply London with cheap electric current. A concroto dam would be placed across the rlvor creating a locked basin 27 square miles In extent, Into which vessels could pass through a channel. It Is estimated that the un- dqrtaklng would provide work for 250,000 men for seven years. In the spring tides the Severn rises 38 feet, the second highest tide after the Bay of Kundy. The fact that tidal waters have never yet been used for the generation of electricity on such a vast scale, coupled with the big estimated cost of the scheme, make engineering experts cautious In ex pressing views as to Its feasibility. The Times editorially refers to the project ns "somewhat flamboyant." The consent of parliament must be obtained before the scheme can be put Into operation.
