SURVEYS FIVE-YEAR PLAIN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
The First Rumanian Five-Year Plan (1951 - 1955) will require an outlay of
1,330,000,000,000 lei, of which 520 billion are allocated for construction pur-
poses. The Danube-Black Sea Canal will be completed. Two new ports will be
built at Cernavoda and Midia, respectively. The most ambitious project of the
entire Five-Year Plan electrification program is the "Vladimir Ilich Lenin"
Hydroelectric Power Plant at Bicaz. Other hydroelectric power projects are
those at: Dragan-Remeti, Gureni, Sadu, Moroeni. Thermal power plants are planned
for Petrosani, Doicesti, Filipesti, Sangiorgiu, Valisoara, Comanesti, Sarmasag,
Ovidiu. These will provide power for the many factories of the new "Sovrom.
Metals" Combine, machine-tool plants, the Campina-Villa Stalin railroad line, and
the cellulose combine on the Danube delta. This cellulose plant will utilize
reeds as raw material.
The machine-`.ool plants will make it possible to equip 11 new spinning-mills,
