to tell what is missing because;
The Soil Conservation Service
officials from Georgia, Tennes¬
see and Alabama were in Dade
County Wednesday to inspect
Dade’s watershed area. About 20
met residents from Dade County

meeting before taking a tour
of the County’s watershed area.
Colonel D. E. Morrison, Dis¬

meeting and explained its pur¬
pose. During certain seasons the
streams and creeks emptying in¬
to Lookout Creek which empties
into the Tennessee River be-

their banks and cause floods
over fields and roads. He show¬
ed a topographical map of the
watershed area involved on
which the streams had been
outlined to give a visual picture
of the problem.
He introduced Mr. A. D. Sear¬
cy, assistant Soil Conservation¬
ist from the state office in Ath¬
ens, who explained the law on
the Watershed Project. This
area’s (problem is made more
difficult in that three states are
involved and under the law each
state has control of its own pro¬
ject.
The purpose of these offi¬
cial’s visit is to gather informa¬
tion. They will see the actual
streams and land involved and
they will get information from
the landowners as to damage
from floods. They will look for
feasible dam sites. When as
much information as possible
has been gathered, a report will
be made and submitted to the
three states.
