AtlastMonday’scommissionmeeting, the firstitemof businessonthe agenda wasto“approvearesolutionopposing theuseoftaxesorfeesimposedonthe publictopayforconstructionoroperation of aprivatelyownedzoo.”

Theresolutionpassedunanimously. Townsendsaid NALZS, aHuntsville-basednonprofit,is aprivatecompany thatneedsto find adifferentsource forthemoney.

“Theyneedto eitherfundraise forthe moneyorgo getaloanordo whatever theyneedtodo,”hesaid.“Wejustdon’t wanttoputthisonthetaxpayers.I’m definitely againstraisingtaxesonanything.Especiallyrightnow; everybody’s struggling.Groceriesarehigh, gasis high, everything’shigh. Theycan’tafford anythingelse.It’s hardtimesright now.”

NALZSExecutive DirectorEthan Woodruff, whodidnot attend themeeting,saidlaterthatunderhisproposal thezoo wouldbepublicly ownedand wouldservethepublic.

“It wouldbe apubliczooandthat wouldbe whyyou wouldusepublicfundingtodoit,”hesaid.“Thatwas partof theproposalthatthezoo wouldbedone through apublic/privatepartnership withLimestoneCounty.Andassuch, technically, thecounty would ownthe zoo.”

NALZS wascreatedin2020,which is whentheyannouncedtheirplansto build azoonearBuc-ee’sinLimestone County. It wouldbeinbetweenDecaturandAthensandalongInterstate65. Woodruffsaidtheanimalstheyplanto have willbealongthelinesof what can beseen at theBirminghamandNashvillezoos.

Woodruffsaidtheyplan forthezooto beon250to300acres,andheestimates thetotalcostwillbe$1millionperacre.

Hesaidtherewillbe five phases.

“The$65millionwillhelpuspurchase thesite,”hesaid.“Roughly$35million fortheconstructionofthe firstphase ofthezoo,andsomemoneytohelpwith initialoperatingcost,and gettingtheanimalshere.”

Whentheproposedzoo wasannounced in2021,thesecondphaseof theproject wouldbethecreationof a200-acrelocationalongLimestoneCreekinMadison that“will focusonsustainablefarmingresearchforhumansandanimals,” NALZSstated at thetime.Agricultural productsfromthesite wouldbeusedto feedzooanimalsandtosupply restaurants at thezoo.

District 1CommissionerDarylSammetsaidinthemeetingthatthe resolutionisoneallcommissionersshould support.

“Shows thatwe’renotgoingtotaxthe peopleofLimestoneCounty fora zoo.If anything,it’dbe forinfrastructure, but we’renot evenlooking at that,”hesaid inthemeeting.“Thisistoplainlyshow thatweare notinsupportofa tax.”

Woodruffsaidhe wouldhave appreciatedsomenoticebeforethe resolution came before thecommission.

“Itwouldhave beenniceto geta heads

guessI’msorry about, butit’snotunexpected,”hesaid.“That’snot going tostop usfrom moving forwardwithtalking to thepublicandeducatingthem.”

District 3CommissionerDerrickGatlinsaidhe wantedthe resolutionon the agendabecausetherehasbeen amisconceptionamong citizens.

“Alotofpeoplethink we’repushing that,and we’renot,”he said.“It’ssomethingthezoopeople arepushing.”

Woodruffsaid NALZShasbeenasking LimestoneCounty residentswhether they areinfavor of the3%electrictaxto buildthezoo’s firstphase.

“We’ve done afew littlesurveysand polls,andthesupportlooks very good,” hesaid.“It is actually slightly betterto beingin favor.”

CommissionChairmanCollin Daly saidtheyputtheresolutiononthe agendabecausesomanycitizensareopposed tothetax.

“Thecommissionbodycame to me andaskedmeseveraltimes,could we do somethinglikethis,”hesaid.“Theimpressionisthatthecounty is going toput a3% utilitytax.…They wantthecounty to administratethefunds. We don’thave themanpowertoadministrate funds.”

Countycitizens wantto vote on the tax,Woodruffsaid.

“Thethingthat people aregetting alittlebitfrustrated with is thattheCounty Commissionandsomeofthe legislative delegation arepreventingthemfrom being ableto voteonit,”he said.“Even people whowant to voteno onit wantto voteonit.”

District 2CommissionerDannyBarksdale saidhe wantedthe resolutionon the agendabecauseofpublic outcry.

“I’ve probably had50callson thatopposedtousing tax money forazoo,” he said.

“I’mpersonallyopposedto it.I wouldn’ttiethatutilitytaxupwith azoo whentheremay be some infrastructure needs forthecounty.…Ijust put priorities on otherthingshigherthan azoo.”

Gatlinsaidone reasonhe is opposed tothezooisbecauseofthe locationthey were considering.

“Their firstproposed siteisin Huntsville, andthey wantthepeopleofLimestoneCountytopayfor it …Thecityof Huntsvilleisputtingnomoney intoit,is my understanding,”hesaid.“They’ve raised$65,000 on a$65 millionproject, phaseone,andthey’venever built azoo before If we geta bond,it’sfor buildings or roads,not to build azoo.”

HISTORY with John Rankin

The1867 Great Floodof the Tennessee River

ByJOHN P. RANKIN MadisonHistorian

MADISON -When we wadethrough local floods,asexperiencedinthelast fewdecades,weshouldbe very thankful fortheTVAsystemof damsthatprevent andcontrolorminimize floodingalong the TennesseeRiver. Ofcourse,that riverdidnotalways have anetwork of damsalongit forsuchcontrol,sonature ruled at varianceeachyear.Suchwas thecasewithprobablythemostdrastic flooding recordedinthehistoryofthe river. That great flood wasin1867. There areveryfewrecordsofthe1867 flooding forMadisonCounty’sexperience, but thecityofChattanooga hadmuchwritten aboutthat flood,occurringjust two yearsafterthenearly completedevastationofthatparticularareaduringthe Civil War. TheChattanooga storygives someinsightinto what itmay have been likedownriverforthisarea closetothe riverbanksinthatyearandtoa similar degreeinlatertimesuntiltheTVA system wassetupwith32damstoprevent orcontrolsuchepisodes.

Chattanooga hadbegunto rebuild afterthe ruinbrought aboutfromthe Civil War, whichendedin1865.Infact, they evenputadsinnewspaperstosolicit“carpetbaggers”tocomethereto makeinvestmentsinthe growthopportunitiespresented by recoveryand reconstruction.While remainingIndian residentshadtoldofancientaccountsoftheoccasional floodingof thetown by theriver, reconstructionin thelow-lyingtownareasalongtheriverbankscontinued.In fact, it wastold thatthehistorical floodinglevels were usuallyrecorded by theIndian custom ofmarkingtalltreeswiththe top-most riverlevels duringsuch floods.Still, money wastobemade by those whosaw theopportunitytoutilize steamboat traveldownriverthroughthenavigable riversystem reaching eventuallyeven toNewOrleans.The factthatthetown waslocatedin alow-lyingarea between twoverylongnorth-southmountain chainsthatfunneledthedrainagefrom hugewatershedsintothearea wasoverlooked.Moreover, Chattanoogasitsina largeU-shapedareaoftheriverchannel calledMoccasinBend. That bendleads to waterpilingupasitturnsbackfrom flowing againstthe rootsofLookout Mountain.

Withsuchalocation,it wouldseem that thesiteshouldhave been abandoned,consideringthat flooding wasa frequentoccurrence.However,sofar onlythe floodsof1867,1874,1875,1886, and1917have been foundineasily-availableoldnewspaperaccounts.While many ofthese floodsarequitesimilar inthehighest waterlevels,noneofthe lateronesmatchtheseverityofthe1867 flood. Perhapslaterdevelopmentstook thelikelihoodof floodingintoaccount. Forthe1867andthe1875 floodsit was foundthattheybothbeganwitha period oftorrentialrains formanydaysinlate February.Theriverhadbeennoticedas beginningtoriseon February25 of 1867, butbyThursdayofMarch 7itwasrising at therateofone footperhour.At thattime,itwas predicted by oldtimers to notexceed ariseof45feet abovethe lowwatermark. TheIndianshad told manyyearsearlierthattheirpeoplehad markedtreeswiththelowwater mark andwiththehighest floodrise mark at 50feet abovethelowmarkduring their centuriesofoccupationof theland. However,byFriday, March 8,the water wasalreadyover50feet abovethelow watermarkandstillrising. Withinanotherday, therewas 5feet of waterin theCrutchfieldHousehotellobby,and smallerbuildingsbeganto floatdown MarketStreetinChattanooga. PeoplecrowdedontotheMilitary Bridgetoobservetheragingtorrent, butthebridgebegantocreakandpop. Ahastyexodus wasexecutedjustbefore thebridgewas sweptdownriver. Two sawmillsandalloftheirlumberand logs were taken away,as the PostOffice hurriedtosack upthemailandtake itinboatsacrossthestreettoanother buildingwithupper floors.Itwouldbe anothermonthbeforethatmail wasdelivered. Paddlewheelsteamboatsbegan tomove alongMarketandotherstreets, somedeliveringtheirpassengerstothe porch oftheCrutchfieldHotel. Waterin theareareached overthetop of railcars andtohorses’bellies whentheycould find placesto walkratherthan swim.

One man wasreportedtohave saved100 peoplewithhissmallboat, butmany moreweredrownedand floated by the survivors.Anotherpersontold of seeing15bodies floatingpasthishouse.A newspaperprinted aheadlineonSaturday, March 9of1867thatChattanooga wasunder10feetofwater.Streets were notvisibleuntilTuesdaynight,March 12.Mud waseverywhere, insideandout. Dry goods were no longerdry.

Oneresident foundthathisplain house hadbeen sweptaway, butanother that wasfarlarger andmoreluxurious hadsettledasthe water recededprecisely wherethe oldonehadbeen.Another manhada floatingbathhouse on theriver.Itwasalso sweptawaywith him init, buthewas rescued by asteamboatthat caughthisbathhouse andtowed itback uprivertoChattanooga at asaferpoint. Ofcourse,businesses thatdealtwith suchthingsassaltor sugar hadtostart over againwithnewstocks.Still, most people remainedingoodhumorand looked forwardtore-establishingtheir businesses.Somesoldiershadstayed toolong at their stations andhad tobe rescuedby steamboats after firingtheir rifles to getattention. They andothers were onlythankfulthattheysurvived.

AsimilarsituationaroseintheChattanooga flood of 1875, when another groupofsoldiersstationed aroundthe NationalCemeterystayedtoolong, until the waterwas nearlyuptotheir necks.They also firedtheirriflesto get attention,and asteamferryboatcame totheirrescue.The1875 flood wasnot quiteas highasthe oneof1867, butit stilltook aheavy toll ofpeople,structures,andequipment--someof which wascarriedalltheway to Florence,Alabama, at theshoals.The1875 flood led todemandsfor a40-footleveetobeconstructedinChattanooga,but it never happened.

TheTennesseeRiveralso flooded Chattanooga in1874,1886,and1917. The1917 flood roseto47.7feet abovethe lowwater mark,Suchdetails were not foundin theaccounts of the other years, butthe 1874 flood waswelldocumented inHuntsvillenewspapers,whereitwas toldthatthe TennesseeRiveratWhitesburg at thattime was3to5 mileswide. Regarding thereportsofthe1867 flood, theHuntsville ADVOCATE newspaper printedthatthelevels at Whitesburg were 2feethigherthenthanthe “great floodof 1848”.That1867 flood wasalso describedin Huntsvillenewspapersas occurring during aperiodof verycold weather thatfroze creeks andincluded snowwithmuchice inthearea after3 weeksofrain.It wasfurtherdescribed asthemostdamaging ever foreastern andmiddle Tennessee,north Alabama, and Kentucky,withsomeimpacton Virginia. The flood evenstoppedthemail tonorthAlabamafrom easternreaches fromMarch 1for another21days. Naturally,theMississippiRiveralso floodedbelowMemphisduringthese times,probablyaugmented by snow thaws tothenorth as wellasthe swelling oftheTennesseeRiver.
