THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
The Part Savannah River Hydro-Electric
Development Will Play in the Com
mercial Development of Augusta
(By M. H. Hendee.)
In 187', .ilr Charles Kates, then
mayor of the city of Augusta, conceiv
ed tlie idea of building a power canal
from which t .<• city could furnisn
l ower for the operation of manufac
turing plants at a low cost, the idea
being to induce capital to Invest in
new induatiies here, thereby increas
ing the ci,y’s population and adding
to her commercial wealth. This idea
proved successiul, and as a result Au
gusta added many thousands of do:-
lads to her wealth, adding also to iiei
population by the building up of her
cotton manufacturing plants, the
"t-oweli of the South.” This was a
great ooom to the city and as long
a« she had this cheap power to dis
pose of she grew hy leaps and hounds,
hut the time came a good many yeais
ago when all this power was dispos
ed of and other manufacturing plants
locating here would he compelled to
use expensive seam plants. As a re
suit the commercial growth ot the
city practically stopped.
In spite of the Tact, that Augusta
otferel every advantage in the way
of excellt nt conditions and exceeding
ly low freight rates, outgoing and in
bound, due to her river navigation,
things which are looked for by manu
facturers, it vas almost impossible
to Induce capital to invest here, back
of cheap power was the tar.
The electrical Industry hag advanc
ed in the laHt decade beyond the
dreams of man, developing apparatus
which makes this mysterious lorce
man’s 'humble and willing servant.
In the early days of Augusta’s com
mercial development a manufacturer
had to put in single units of large
capacity to obtain his [ower from the
canal, transmit the same through long
lines of heavy ard expensive rhalt
ing and belting to his machines, thus
losing a large amount of power for
which he had to pay before it actual
ly produced anj results for him. To
day he can put a small electric motor
on each of his mac ines and obtain
and use the power only aH required
at I hr machine, only paying for power
actually used. This advancement in
the electrical industry and conveni
ences in our homes to the largest and
most intricate manufacturing plant.
Capital, seeking investment, saw
the great need of thi country for
cheap power, and also saw the great
possihili ies in hydro-electric develop
ment. and such development began
springing up all over the country, par
ticularly in the South,
Neighboring cities were getting
these water power developments, and
as a result manufacturing, and all
lines of progress were on the move.
What was Augusta doing? Standing
still, content with tier Htnall natural
growth. One day a party of Eastern
capitalists vlsitpd the city and wits
their keen eyes for opportunities
were amazed at the opportunities ot
tered by Augusta. ' hey bought the

local railway and • lighting company,
and spent thousands of dollars in re
building and improving this' property,
to give t e city be tei service. They
did not stop Imre. They saw at once
that with cheap hydro-electric tower
Augusta, with all of her many au
vantages, would take on new life and
move ahead with the advancing pro
ctsslon o. progress. As a result she
now has a 30,000-horsepower hydro
electric development built at a cost
of $3,000,000, w. ieh amount of power
is Kuiflclent to operate every steam
power plant now in operation in the
city in! leave 15,000 horsepower to
he taken by ne.w industries. The
confidence and faith <1 isi layed in the
city by the capitalists back of this
proposition awakened the sleeping
ent-rgi s of the local people. Heal
esiat ■ values began to increase, lin
provemen.s and new buildings in both
commercial and residential sections
are now in evidence. More money is
tew being spent in improvements
than ever before in the city's history.
The present manufacturers, who
were not fortunate enough to get any
of the cheap power from tile canal
and are using s emi power, will equip
t eir plants with economical motors
and use electric power from this dl
velopment, thereby getting their
power at a much smaller cost than
they are now making it with their
steam plants and relieve themselves
of operating a power plant. The
matter of making power is not their
business. Theirs is to manufacture
their particular lines of goods and the
power end of it is the business ot
the power company. Thus they are
able to put out their product at a
lower cost, increase the quality and
quantity of their production and be
able to meet competition in the mar
ket.
Augusta is being advertised all
over the country, now that she has
this large amount of cheap electrical
power to offer. This advantage,
coupled witli the excellent railroad
facilities, the barge line, connecting
tier with the seaport and giving low
freight, rates, her levee guaranteeing
protection againsi floods and splendid
sites for new industries, in attracting
attention all over the country. Two
large enterprises will start building
their plants here in a very short time.
These plants will employ high priced
labor, most of which will come from
outside tiie' city. That means more
population, more good citizens and
more money turne 1 into the chan
nels of trade. Others are looking this
way and are hound lo come.
By everybody boosting the good old
town and pulling together in every
thing for the good of the town, kick
ing the knocker out. the great Sav
annah River Power Development will
he found to be the most potent fac
tor in making Augusta advance rapid
ly in the next few years to the fore
most ranks ol Southern cities.
