Show Prospects Bright For Settlement Bam In 63 Minor Accidents Marred Holidayy The Settlement Canyon Dam a very much alive project. reports Alex F. Dunn, President of the Irrigation Company. THE APPROPRIATION for the dam is awaiting the 60 day period to elapse, required while Congress is in session. Some of this time has already gone by before Congress adjourned and it is estimated by Utahs representatives in Washington that the waiting period will be up by mid February, Mr. Dunn reis still ports. It is the intention of Utahs Senators to try and include the Settlement Canyon Dam aoprop-riatio- n in one of the earlier requests for money which normally parses Congress, making the money available in early spring, but we are aware that there is a slight possibility that the appropriation may not be forthcoming until the regular appropriation bill passes in the fall. both Utah Senators However, have pledged a fight to get the money early, Mr. Dunn stated. AT THE LAST regular meeting of the Settlement Canyon Irrishareholders Company, gation authorized the Irrigation officials to borrow money to start the engineering for the working specifications of the project, but due to the national crisis over Cuba, at the time the money was to have been sought, the irrigation directors thought it the better part of wisdom to wait until the money was at hand from the Government loan, before any financial obligations further were incurred, Mr. Dunn stated. A group of local citizens have been discussing the possibility of treating the water from the dam and running it through the City Water system, for distribution to the irrigation shareholders. directors THE IRRIGATION have never been officially approached on such a proposition, Mr. Dunn reports, but should find it Tooele City eventually necessary because of growth, to purchase the irrigation water, such planning now could save the people of Tooele City upwards of $500,000 on the purchase price, he stated The major part of the expenditure from the Government loan will go towards the building of a duplicate water piping system throughout most of Tooele City to deliver to irrigators which would be a dead loss, should Tooele find it necessary to purchase the irrigation svstem, as the expenditure would of necessity be part of the purchase price paid the irrigation company.
