The plant of theAluminum Company of America, nearKnoxville, is one of the largest in theworld. The future possibilities of water-powerdevelopment in Eastern Tennessee and theadjacent parts of North Carolina andGeorgia are tremendous. Four large riv-ers traverse this region, the Tennessee,French Broad, Hiwassee and utilization of these streams for theproduction of electrical energy is stillcomparatively in its infancy, but alreadyChattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville, andother smaller places along the line, arebeginning to take on the appearance ofNew England manufacturing towns. Theopening of this new power supply willgive an added industrial impetus to thisrich region. December, J91S.
