BILL FOR BATESVILLE POWER CO.
Committee flakes Favorable Re
port on Bill Granting Use of
Government Dam
Washington, June 15. The
House committee on rivers and
harbors today favorably repotted
the Brundidge bill granting to the
JBate*ville Power Company the
right to erect and construct a canal
and power station at lock and dam
Mo. 1, in the White river, and to
enable the secretary of war to per
mit the erection of a lock and dam
in aid of navigation in the White
river near Batcsville. J. A. Om
berg, Jr., proposes to have the
lock and canal completed within
two years from the date of the
beginning of construction. Mr.
Omberg agrees to begin actual
work on the project within is
months from the passage of the
act, or forfeit his rights in the
promises. Tennessee interests are
hack of the undertaking and it is
said will make good use of the
water power produced by the dam.
Relative to the bill permitting
the Batcsville Power Company to
erect and construct power stations
in the upper White river at lock
and dam No 1, the Button report
says:
“This bill has had the consider
ation and approval of the chief of
engineers. The dam referred to
was constructed by the general
government and tin* purpose of
this bill is to grant to a corpora
tion known as the Batcsville Pow
er Company, created and organiz
ed under the laws of the state of
Arkansas, the right to use the wa
tor power created by the dam in
generating electric power and pro
vide* that the secretary of war
may impose reasonable charges
for the use of the water. The in
terests of the general government
have been fully protected and by
the construction of the works here
in authorized it will be possible to
secure a cash return to the United
States as well as serve the inter
ests of navigation by reason of
the construction of this lock and
dam. The Batcsville Power Com
pany expects to begin actual con
struetion work shortly. The
time limit for completion set by
Congress is three years. The im
provements will not in any way
conflict or interfere with the navi
gation of the river.”
LITTLE FAY TRAVIS
On Sunday morning .June 10th
the death angel entered the home
of Mr. and Mm. Ed Travis and
claimed for its victim their pre< - j
ious baby, little Fay, aged 4
months and one day. She was
sick but a short time, but her suf
fering was very great. Hut now
she has gone to a better home
where suffering is not known. We
know the home will be lonely
without her, but God knows best.
She was a bright, beautiful lit
tle treasure and made the home so
happy during her short stay here
on earth. She leaves a father,
mother and one little sister to
mourn her loss. Dear parents
and loved ones, may we bow with
humble submission to the will of
our Heavenly Father, and may he
comfort and enable us to look be
yond to that day when we can
meet little Fay.
Little Fay is sweetly sleeping
In the anus of Jesus above.
We all hope to meet her
In that home of joy and love.
Peaceful he thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low.
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no more our songs will know.
Vet again we hope to greet thee,
When the day of life has Med
And in Heaven we hope to meet thee.
W here no farewell tears are shed.
