If all necessary preliminaries are worked out in Utah between now and July 15, Secretary Work and Reclamation Commissioner Mead may be able when they conclude their trip through the northwest, to close a contract with the water users, or their association, under which the government will proceed at once with the building of the Echo reservoir and crosscut canal which are to form the first unit of the Salt Lake Basin Irrigation project. They will not be able this season to authorize construction on the Provo Bay unit, as they interpret the law as permitting them at this time merely to conclude investigation of this unit, with a view to having its construction specifically authorized by congress next session, if found entirely feasible. This information was given to Engineer W. R. Green and Dr. John T. Widtsoe by commissioner Mead be-fthey left Denver for Salt Lake City. Commissioner Mead anticipates no serious trouble in working out the preliminaries so far as the Echo unit is concerned, but surprised Dr. Widtsoe when he told him the Provo Bay unit will cost $200 an acre, based on the latest available estimates, which is more than the cost of any project yet undertaken, and a figure which compels most careful study of that work before it can even be recommended to congress. Mr. Green brought with him to Denver estimates on the Echo unit and it was disclosed that there is a material diversity of opinion as to the per acre cost of this part of the project. According to Mr. Greens figures, the cost of supplemental water to the farmers under Echo reservoir Would be $40 an acre. Commissioner Mead called attention to the fact that the Echo reservoir and the crosscut canal will cost three million dollars, and it is certain that water can be contracted for only sixty thousand acres, which would bring the cost up to $50 an acre. Mr. Green thought the crosscut canal could be paid for separately, and he therefore figured $45 as the outside cost to those not taking water from this canal. At the conclusion of their consideration of this matter. Commissioner Mead said he and the government is not concerned with the actual cost per acre or how the cost of the crosscut canal is assessed. But when the association or corporation representing all the water users of this unit has been formed, he will want a contract with them under which they will agree to repay the government the three million dollars which it is to be called upon to spend and the association can opportion the costs among land owners as it sees fit and can determine whether a common price shall govern all the lands or whether those served from the crosscut canal shall pay more than those getting water from "the Echo reservoir.
