Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the
findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the
channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance
