Property:---
From Mr. S.J.
Justice's Report of Oct. 22nd. 1902 and notes, undated, and plats
of land, see maps, the Pot shoals development,-- Power site #1-- is
clear. The title is in the Trustees.
From Power Site
#1 to Power Site #4, at the Howard Gap road, the title is in the
Trustees except, as follows:--
Left Side of River:--
Below the foot of
Pot shoals, P. Kuykendall. See map. Sheet #1 and Cagle
& Cagle below Laurel creek These do does not
interfere with development, since the lines do not cross river
or creek or exrend to same.
Below Cagle tract
the Trustees own to the Gilreath sale, below Becks creek. Map,
sheet #2.
The Gilreath
sale, on both sides of Howard Gap road extending to near mouth of Hungry
creek.
The Jones
land south of Hungry does not interfere.
Gilreath sale
from mouth of Hungry to near the mouth of Camp creek. This tract
includes the river.
Below Power
site #3, the Trustees own to the Henderson line.
Right Side of River:--
From the railroad
bridge, including Power Site #1, V2 the Trustees own to the
Gilreath sale below the mouth of Becks creek. Power site #2 is on
this Gilreath property and now apparently owned by B.W.E. Staton.
Map. Sheet #2.
The development
for Power site #3 is almost entirely on the Gilreath property, extending
nearly to Camp creek. Power site #3 is located at lower side of Gilreath
property and entirely on the Trustee's land, opposite mouth of
Camp creek. Map. Sheet #3.
From Mr. W.M.
Justice's notes, undated, the Trustees
[Page 2]
own from Henderson's line up the river to a
point about 700 ft. below the mouth of Camp creek. the
Gilreath and Cagle canal above the mouth of Hungry creek, except the
Torrence 50 acres. and the Case 50 acres neither of which touches the
river.
It is
therefore concluded, the title is practically clear,
and in the Trustees, for both all the
upper and lower developments, shown on maps,
sheets #1 2 and 3, -- Power sites #1 and 4; and partly in
the Trustees and Gilreath or Staton, at 2nd. development, map,
sheet #2,-- Power site #2; and almost wholly on the Gilreath claim at
the 3rd. development, map, sheet #3,-- Power site #3. Power
site 3 is [secarly?] in the Trustees.
A final or
development survey of this steam, for the reach examined, report dated
Dec. 12th. 1906, might change the location of the sites for power plants
shown on maps somewhat, but it is clear that no location could
be made, to avoid the Gilreath claim. but would leave them
in the property of the trustees.

I have made the interlineations in the above for the
purpose of correcting some mistakes or errors growing out of the mistake
made in locating the Gilreath 412 acres twice when it should have been
located but once and that is shown on sheet #2. The location on
sheet #3 being an error
