PROPOSES TO DAM GRAND
RIVER FOR POWER PLANT

Muskogee, OKLA. June 1S.--Conyine-
ed that Muskogee needs the Grand
river dam more than any other thing.
N. F. Hancock has spent some time
in gathering figures and statistics to
show the great benefits the city would
derive from its construction and the
feasibility of financing it.
Mr.. Hancock's plan is to have the
Commercial Club take the matter up
at once. He wants the Grand river
dam to be municipal property, and
he suggests that 1t be built by the
means Of city bonds. If the city's
assessed valuation will not permit the
issuing of bonds to the necessary
amount the state legislature will
readily grant permission to do So
There would be no trouble in floating
the bonds, he says Capital is ready
to make such Investments and other
cities have raised more money on
much less promising propositions
The dam would cost, Mr. Hancock
says, 100000.
1t will easily develop 10000 kilo-
watt horsepower. The lowest esti-
mate that has been placed on it's ca
pacity is 10000 and the highest is s0,-
900.
In a smaller town than Muskogee
which Mr.. Hancock Investigated it
was able to manufacture power from
a 10000 horsepower plat at the cost
of little less than one-halt cent
kilowatt horsepower. That cost in.
|cluded all maintainance and interest
ION the bonds.
If the Muskogee dam at 10000
horsepower could sell all its power
at one cent, which is ridieulously low
rate. the income would be $4,000 a
day or nearly 100000 a year,
If it was possible to sell. but por-
tion Of its power at very low rate
the plant would pay for itself In d
very short time.
Mr.. Hancock thinks the question is
vital and that it should be taken up
at once

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 11.-Assembly-
man Charles p. dwell. of Hudson
County, will make another attempt
during the session of the Legislature to
pass a bill legalizing the playing of
baseball on Sundays. At the last ses-
sion MIR. dwell, after a determined
fight, had his bill put through the
House with thirty-five votes to it's
credit. All of the Essex Assembiymen
were recorded in favor of it, as were
also all of the Hudson delegation. The
bill got to the Senate in the closing
days of the session, and at adjourn
ment 1t was still on the presidents
desk, having passed second reading.
Assembiyman dwell thinks he will
have better luck with the bill this year.
II expect, 1t to pass the House with
out serious opposition. and I am hope
full that the Senate will look upon it
with favor" said Mr.. dwell last night.
My intention is to introduce the bill
next Monday night, so as to give it a
good start.

all over the State in favor of h elm
