st. Paul, Mimi, June 19.-An ex-
haustive investigation just completed
by commission of government en-
gineers acting with local officers Of
the government engineer office, city
officials of St. Paul and Minneapolis
and prominent business men has dem
onstrated that $4,000 horsepower OF
electrical energy can be developed at
the lower of the two navigation locks
on the Mississippi just above st.
Paul, by the expenditure of an addi-
tional $25O,00O. The government
makes the unusual proposition that 1t
will permit the use of the power at the
lock provided that the two cities or
other interests will bear the addition
al cost. That the power will be used
is already settled. Whether it will
be used by a private power company
or used jointly by the state Of Min.
nesota and the two adjacent cities is
a question which will be determined
by a joint commission of three men,
three by each Of the two mayors.
Complete One Lock.
The government has completed one
lock and dam and partially completed
the second, or lower Of the two. To
develop the power the second dam
must be raised fifteen feet, utilizing
present foundations and the work al
ready completed. This will provide a
thirty foot dam, raising a large head
Of water and developing enormous
power. The state is already interested
and wishes portion OF the power
for use at the state university near
by the state agricultural school.
which II one of the largest In the
United States. and the fair grounds
The government requires 1000 horse
power. and the two cities Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis have need Of the bal
ance.
The governments proposition.
while It does not establish q proceed
emit, is unusual and the proposed Inn
In the northwestern United States.
The investigations prove that the pow.
er can be developed ut exceptionally
low cost. The most important prob
lens now to be faced are the division
of tn expenses and the division OF the
power to be developed as between
the government, state and cities. The
partnership In power while novel. has
