ALLEN EDITORIAL NOTE: The following article on the Ten-nesee Ten-nesee Valley Authority is a continuation of the Merry-Go-Koiind Series on the new projects pro-jects of the New Deal. NORRIS, Tenn. By next April Tom Banes will believe that there is really a dam at a place called Norris, ten miles down the river. For, by next April, the waters of the narrow Clinch will begin to broaden until they creep up and over the site of his shack and his cow barn. But at present he refuses to believe be-lieve it. "You ain't a-goin to get me to leave this home. . . A dam? Yes, I've heard tell about this dam ever since the war. But I don't believe be-lieve they'll ever get around to buildin' it." It is only ten miles from the home of Doubting Thomas Banes to the, scene where thousands of his more progressive valley kin and neighbors flock on Sundays to stand on the brink of the canyon can-yon and stare dow$ at the concrete con-crete masses that represent Norris Nor-ris dam one-third completed. It is more of a miracle than Niagara Falls because less than -a year ago- there- were -no . crushers crush-ers and trucks and cable towers and coffer dams, no great scars in the rock of the canyon walls where soon the concrete will grip the stone nothing but quiet timber-covered hills with the muddy Clinch flowing through, on its way to the Tennessee.

There have been doubters other than Tom Banes, many skeptics, many critics, people who heard that the Tennessee Valley Authority Author-ity planned to amuse itself reviving re-viving "those quaint folk-dances," people who resented the intrusion of directors who were in one case a college president from Ohio Arthur E.

Shrewd political candidates, sensing growing TVA popularity, find it a convenient band-wagon. Though East Tennessee is "a Republican' Re-publican' oasis in a Democratic desert," the recent primaries were flavored with slogans such as "Vote for Neal. the Man Who Made TVA Possible."

Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dodge City and other high mark centers expected temperatures high in the nineties today, but the maximums predicted were far ilow those of Friday and Saturday.

Provo Pledges Subscription For Deer Creek City Commission Agrees To Take From Reservoir 8000 Acre-Feet. One of the biggest single things standing in the way of the Deer Creek dam and Utah lake diking will likely be removed by the end of this year, predicts Elmer Jacob, project manager, who states that subscriptions to the water by canal companies and cities should be made by that time. Mr. Jacob anounced in an interview inter-view Monday night that already 32,000 acre-feet of the 110,000 acre-feet total is assured of subscription sub-scription by four canal companies and Provo city. Ready To Go Provo city commissioners indicated indi-cated last night they were ready to go ahead with a subscription to 8,000 acre-feet although they are checking on the legal aspects of the financing of the water today before they definitely sign up. The four canal companies already ilned up include the Provo Reservoir Res-ervoir company, the Lehi Irrigation Irriga-tion company, the Pleasant Grove Irrigation company and the West Union Irrigation company. Mr. Jacob said that the Utah Lake Distributing company is ready to make arrangements for a subscription for 15,000 acre feet. He pointed out that this subscription subscrip-tion would bring the total to nearly near-ly the capacity of the small project, proj-ect, which contemplates 62,000 acre feet of storage but does not include the tunnel or the dike.

TREASURY TO TAKESILVER Metal Held By Stabilization Fund To Be Used in More Expansion. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 ll! The United States treasury will soon consider plans to take over the estimated 60,000,000 ounces of silver now held by its $2,000,-000,0000 $2,000,-000,0000 exchange stabilization found for the purpose of further expanding its issue of silver money. It was believed the silver would be taken over by the treasury at the cost rjrice to the fund, reported re-ported in the neighborhood of 45 cents per ounce. -Most of it was belieyed acquired in New York and. London, although treasury officials of-ficials refuse to reveal the extent of the purchases. It was unknown whether the stabilization fund would continue to act as purchasing agent for government silver in the future , but the fund was expected to play an important part in view of the desire of treasury officials to purchase pur-chase their silver secretly in order to obtain it at the lowest possible cost. Under the silver purchase act, the treasury is required to purchase pur-chase nearly 1,300,000,000 ounces more silver to bring its stocks to a third those of gold as is provided pro-vided under the law. Secretary Morgenthau Jr. indicated indi-cated new silver certificates would be issued against stabilization fund silver upon the basis of cost. This applies to newly mined, nationalized national-ized and silver purchased under the 1934 silver purchasing act also. - - Happy Birthday The Herald extends congratulations congratu-lations to Mrs. Don C.

The levy is 9 mills, as compared with 8.40 mills last year. Increases in the levy comes in the county highways fund and the widow's pension, with a slight decrease in several of the departments. Following is a comparison com-parison of the 1934 and the 1933 levies. 1933 1934 General fund 1.80 1.80 County highways 2.00 2.50 County, infirmary 14 .14 Poor, indigent 86 .86 Exhib. and Advt 10 .10 Widow's pension 30 31 Old age pension 1.10 1.01 Bond sinking 1.60 1.60 Bond interest 67 .65 Pension for blind 3 .3 Totals 8.60 9. State roads in Utah Co. 1 mill. Mayor Explains Raise Provo city's substantial raise in levy of 3.7 mills is due to an emergency. Mayor A. O. Smoot pointed out today. The fact that the city is forced to pay for workingmen's insurance, insur-ance, materials, and the maintenance mainten-ance of an office in order to obtain ob-tain FERA work is the big factor, he said. The mayor also explained that rather than go on refunding debts to pile up as has been the practice in the past, a guarantee fund has been established. If one mill had been placed on the levy for the past four or five years1 as a guarantee guar-antee fund for delinquent special improvement bonds, then Provo city would not have needed to borrow bor-row $30000 as she did early this year, he said. The delinquent special improvement improve-ment bonds have been paid from the contingent fund, rather than through a guaranteed fund in the past, he said.

That's what anxious Provoans are saying since the news Monday Mon-day that the city, state and county tax levies have increased. The tax is how over five per cent increased from 50 mills to 53.50 mills. If the valuation of your property proper-ty is $3,000 you paid $125 taxes last year on the basis of a 50 mill tax. This year, on the basis of the same valuation, your tax will be $133.75, an increase of $8.75.

W. Gillman and C. H. White but did not become legal because its publication was held up by Commissioner H. A. Robertson, pending some further investigation. investiga-tion. Cities Holding Baek Mr. Robertson brought up at the meeting Monday afternoon the possibility of closing the beer parlors entirely at some scheduled hour such as 12 midnight or 1 a. m. This proposal was thought to be impractical by the other commissioners, although 'Commissioner 'Commis-sioner Gillman stated that he was ready to allow 1 a. m. beer-sale closing if the others would accede to Sunday closing. This was not brought to a vote, however, although Commissioner Robertson indicated he would favor Sunday closing. One of the difficulties in the way of enforcement by the county, coun-ty, it was explained, was that the cities, although they had in- dicated in a meeting three weeks ago that they would join with the county in midnight stopping j of beer sales, were not conform- j ing. j Hours of closing range from j midnight to 2 a. m. and thereafter there-after it was pointed out, with some of the cities apparently standing ready to reap the harvest harv-est of beer sales when the county and some of the other cities close at midnight. Thus far Provo is the only city in the county which has put in effect an ordinance stopping beer sales at midnight. Sheriff E. G. Durnell was said to favor a later closing hour for beer sale3, possibly 1 a. m., giving an hour after the dances close. jMany of the beer vendors were also reported to favor an entire closing of their business at some hour such as 1 a. m.
