A fee of $100 annually was also t on auto financing companies that pperate here either directly or through an agency. The street tax required of all male citizens from sixteen to sixty was abolished and this tax will not be levied ia the future. The city is preparing a blank form that will be furnished all busi ness houses in the city that they will fill out and file wth the clerk sp- plyng for licenses. This application will set out the type of business operated and give other detailed in- format-on for the city. This is an old law that will be enforced in the future. Each business house must apply for their license before it is granted.

He pointed out that toe project would be .‘elf-liquidating and would give employment to about eight hundred men for a period of two years. He also stated that the dam would be an important unit in a flood control eystem that will eventually be ap plied to the Oconee river valley, just as it is now being applied to other rivers in other states. The Kiwanis has suggested that the government loan the money necessary to complete the work to the power company, if the com pany wished to complete the job, but in the event the power com pany did not desire to finish the job at this time and assunr'ng the loan, that the government pay the power company for the work already done and for their interest in the pro ject, and take it over and finish it as a power plant and flood control unit. President P. &. Arkwright, of d»« Georgia Power Company, owners of the dam, said the company would he glad to complete the job if the necessary money could be procured from n government agency at the t'ame terms that money ia now being advanced other project*, “i think could arrange it so that such a loan would be satisfactory to the government from a self-liquidating and from a security standpoint, if the government would be will ng to nee the money to a private enterprise,” Mr. Arkwright said. The KiWani* club expressed the opinion that since the government making loans to railroads and r private enterprises, that there would be no object : ons to thi* loan. Congress from the first, sixth, eigth and tenth districts have been wired by the club to aid them in securing the completion of thi* project. The Senators from Georgia were also urged to support the project. The dam was started in the fall of 1929 and wa* practically one- th ; rd completed when the depression forced the interested power com panies to abandon it. The dam when finished will create the largest in land body of water in the South, forming a lake with a border line 245 miles. It will require the labor of from 800 to 1,000 men two years to fwioh the job. The dam was to be an important unit in the hydro-electric develop ment in the south and its completion will mean much to this section from a stand point of floor control as well as cheap power immediately available.
