That the west side project is feas-
ible seems to have~been established
beyond all question of doubt. The one
question with which the army board
will deal will be that of expediency;
whether the project can be built at a
cost per acre which will yield sure
return to the government, and the
fact that adjoining lands under water
are now selling for 5000 and more
per acre would seem to indicate that
similar lands, west of the river can

acre ought to be the outside figure,
though the official estimates are with
held.
