following manner: The applicants shall file an application with the governing body of each
municipality located within the territory described in the application (which shall be the
same territory as shall be described in the certificate of incorporation) seeking permission
from each such municipality to organize the corporation. There shall be described generally
in such application the boundaries of the territory proposed to be included in the power district
upon organization of the corporation, but there shall not be included therein any territory
served by an existing utility unless consent to the inclusion in the power district of the

Section 11-92A-2 Legislative findings of fact and declaration of intent; construction
of article. (a) The Legislature hereby makes the following findings of fact and declares its
intent to be as follows: In recent years changes have taken place in the economy of the state
that have had a far-reaching effect on the welfare of its citizens. The agrarian economy that
once prevailed in the state and provided the principal means of livelihood for most of its
citizens has proven inadequate to provide employment for the state's growing population. The
advent of mechanized and scientific farming methods has reduced greatly the number of persons
required to obtain increased yields of agricultural products from land under cultivation.
There has been a correspondingly greater dependency upon industrial development as the bulwark
of the economy of the state. It is therefore appropriate and necessary that measures be taken
to secure to the citizens of the state the benefits of a strengthening...

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 and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry
in many sections of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee
River occurs frequently in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage
to agriculture in the affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the
tributary streams will eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit
improved farming practices and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by
the passage of this chapter to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...
