Show 0 BOULDER DAM SIDELIGHTS Boulder Dam would cost over $300,000,000 to complete. It will cost over $20,000,000 to prove its feasibility. Utah Fact Finding Commission announced that Los Angeles does not need any of the waters of the Colorado. The Boulder Cam is not primarily for flood control. Reliable engineers state that the dam would fill up with silt in a few years, thereby preventing further storage of irrigation water. Flood conditions can be taken care of in Imperial Valley at a cost of $10,000,000. s 0 The proposed bill should be properly called The Los Angeles Water and Power Bill. The bill would put the Federal Government into business, generating and selling electric power. The bill would close most of our coal mines in this state. It would be the first step in a campaign of government ownership and operation of public utilities. Representative Leatlierwood has made a heroic fight to protect states rights. Who would pay the losses in tfi:s huge project! Boulder Dam is now biggest political football. 9 i - SALT LAKE CITY, SATVRDA Y. NOVEMBER 26, 1927 |
