Show Tar , t it.- Colorado project costs soar due to inflation When the Colorado Storage project was approved almost 20 years ago, its total cost was estimated at $700 million and its construction time at 15 to 20 years. Now-- at a date when original estimates called for construction to be nearing completion-th- e target dale for completion appears almost as far tiff as at the inception of the project, and cost estimates have more than Lripled, according to Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit public service agency. Basic reason for the existing situation the inflation which has engulfed the entire economy, the Foundation points is the inflation which has engulfed the Similar problems are faced by the Interstate Highway System and other major public works projects which art financed by annual congressional appropriations. The Colorado Kiver Storage Project was first authorized by congressional action in April, 1956, providing for four major storage dams (although no money was then appropriated for one of them, the Curecanti in Colorado) and 11 "participating projects".

A substantial part of the Colorado of all multiKiver Storage Krojecl-anpurpose reclamation pmjects-- is repaid to tin- Federal Government directly, and additional benefits return indirectly to the economy, the Foundation points out. While he proportion of rests that are so repaid and returned is a matter of dispute supporters and opponents of reclamation, there is agreement that considerable repayment is made. "Therefore, onee a reclamation project had been liegun. the sooner it is iumplrt rd. the sooner the direct and indirect benefits to flow back into the national economy." The Foundation noted. Some supporters of the Colorado I reject believe that this fact will influence sessions of Congress to increase appropriations to the project in order to hasten completion.
