Gastonia, Oct. 27—“If there had been more forest preservation in the mountains of Western Carolina,” declared Judge Thad Bryson here today, there would not have been this woeful shortage of hydro electric power.
“When the trees are cut from the mountain sides and the surface is left like a concrete street or sidewalk and the water runs off into the rivers and streams and is consequently lost as far as reserve supply is concerned, there is one left in the ground to furnish a supply in time of need like last summer.”
