General planning. The town of Guntersville, Alabama, one of many whose entire future has been reoriented due to the program of the Authority. Formerly a sleepy crossroads in a depressed cotton raising area, it became a center of navigation and commerce due to the construction of the reservoir. It's current and anticipated rapid development will be guided by newly established planning and zoning commissions, city plans and ordinances, with the assistance of the Authority's technicians

General planning. Refrigerated barge designed and built by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) in collaboration with the University of Tennessee to encourage the fruit and vegetable freezing industry in the Valley and the marketing of its products over the inland waterways system. The architects of the Authority cooperated in the design of the superstructure which was erected on a standard steel barge. Sheathing is of T and G boards, roof of galvanized sheet metal. Glass-enclosed cabin at one end houses refrigerating machinery, at other end crew's quarters. Colors are light shades of grey, with upper and lower bands of superstructure in maroon. Visible part of windows is the screen frame; glazed sash is behind and its frame is painted black to eliminate its competetion with the screen frame and its..

Tennessee Valley Authority. A cover plate and exciter housing of a new generator unit in place at TVA's hydroelectric plant at Wilson Dam. Completed units show in the background. Located near Sheffield, Alabama, 260 miles above the the mouth of the Tennessee River, the dam had an authorized power installation of 288,000 kilowatts, which can be increased to a possible ultimate of 444,000 kilowatts. The reservoir at the dam adds 377,000 acre feet of water to controlled storage on the Tennesse River system
