GREAT FALLS WATER
TO LIGHT CAPITAL
Plan Declared Feasible, and
District Commissioners
Start Work.

Harvesting Great Falls to provide
waterpOwer for a municipal electric
lighting plant IS under consideration
by the Commissioners.
Directing attention to the fact that the
District annually pays nearly SjOOO09
for the lighting of its streets, public
buildings, and grounds. the Commits
sioners have asked the Secretary of H.
terror to direct the Geological Survey
10 prepare a preliminary report on the
cost Of development of the water power
at Great Falls
II this report is favorable, the COM
missiOners at the next session Of Con
gress will ask for an appropriation for
a final survey.
Plan Shown Feasible.
That the plan is feasible is shown by
a report made several years ago bv Col.
George H. Elliott and Capt. G. D..
Knight. of the Corps Of Engineers,
United States Army.
We find" said this board, that cleo
trical power can readily be transmitted
from Great Fails TO Washington. that
there can be con 5tructed, at reasonable
cost, power canal around the falls.
and power plant below them; that
there are available at the lowest stages
Of the river $3.50 horsepower without
storage of water above the falls in the
Senaca reach OF the river, and only
Seas horsepower with such storage.
Whlle only Abs horsepower are required
Tor the present lighting purposes; and
We therefore come TO the conclusion
that II Is entirely feasible to use the
water Of the Potomac at Great Falls
for the purpose Of lighting the public
DullaihSs, grounds, and streets Of the
District Of Columbia.
Increase in Lights.
The advantage will be in the in
creased amount of light afforded for
the same annual expenditure.
without surveys, it is not prac-
ticable to furnish an estimate of the
cost Of constructing the canal; but
an approximate estimate Of the cost
Of all hydraulic and electric plants.
buildings, aerial line conduits, and
lamps is S3,764,93O
In my opinion conditions are more
favorable now than ever before for
the establishment OF a municipal
electric lighting plant" said Commits
sioner JUdson today. The District at
present pays out nearly half a mil
lion dollars annually for the street
and other artificial lighting. The
United States pays half of this cost.
and, in addition, eXpends large SIMS
annually Tor lighting its own public
buildings and grounds within the
Federal district Natural faVorabIe
conditions for the development of
power exist within a short distance
of the city, which. il promptly util-
lzed, would result in a large saving.
To Ask Congress- Aid.
at is the Intention of the Commits
sioners, il the preliminary report Of
the Geological Survey is favorable
10 ask Of Congress an appropriation
OF $4,000 for a final survey and the
preparation Of plans and estimates.
More than 1000 cities and towns now
have municipal electric lighting plants
In consideration Of the erection of a
plant in Washington, Commissioner
JudsOn will investigate the question of
cost, the erection, and maintenance. in
order that when the project is placed
before Congress the Commissioners may
be prepared with the necessary are7i-
ments.

Three Candidates Now in
the Field for the Speak
ership.

Three candidates are now in the
field for the speakership of the COM
ing legislature. These men are How
ard D. Taylor, of Seattle; E. A Sims
of Port Angeles, and G. E. Dickson,
of Ellensburg 1t is said that Mr..
Taylor has the support of practical
ly the entire Seattle delegation.
Several matters have been discus
sed locally in reference to changes
in the laws of the state. Many are
urging that the mayor and members
of the city council of Wenatchee
der that this can be done, it will be
necessary that a law be passed along
those lines. 1t has been suggested
that the question of salary be made
optional with the people of the city.
In place like Wenatchee where so
much improvement is going on and
where the biggest business in the city
is that of the city itself, it is regard
ed no more than right that these
men should receive remuneration.
Another change which has been
suggested. and that suggestion comes
from Cashmere. is to the effect that
the county superintendent of schools
should have more power. At the
present time, according to those who
are favoring the idea, too many
things have to be referred to the
state superintendent To remedy
this is the object of the proposed
new law.
