A r i z o n a hopes to undertake a multimil-d- o hydroelect trie develop- liar ment program along the Colorado river in the next few years. The Arizona Power Authority is seeking a license from the Federal Power commission to build hydroelectric dams at Bridge canyon and Marble canyon, both on the Arizona section of the river. The dams are part of a development program planned by the state agency after reports that California interests want to acquire the few remaining development sites in Arizona. J. Clyde Wilson, chairman of the A P A, said plans call for construction of the 161 million dollar bridge Canyon Dam first. Work would bein on the dollar Marble Canyon project when Bridge Canyon is completed. Bids would be called on the Bridge Canyon project within 18 months of the granting of a license by FPC. It is estimated the federal agency will not take final action for at least a year. Wilson said that the City of Los Angeles is pressing for a permit to explore the Bridge Canyon site for a high dam as proposed by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation some years ago. The Arizona plan provides for a low dam. The A P A contends a high dam would back water up into Grand Canyon National park, making congressional action necessary before construction. As planned by, Arizona, Bridge Canyon Dam would be 450 feet high, compared with 725 feet for Hoover dam and 700 feet proposed by the reclamation bureau. The installation would have a generating capacity of 440,000 kilowatts of power and e would create a lake t of holding 640,000 water. Marble Canyon Dam would be 400 feet high and would back water up to Glen Canyon Dam, now under construction.
