DEAL IS De.
CLARED OFF

been worrying about the transfer
of the waters of Lake Tahoe by
a tunnel route to Washoe Lake by
the Truckee River General Elec-
tric Company, California is now
resting easy as the Power Com.
pany has Withdrawn from the con-
tract with the Government, claim
ing the Government too slow a
partner.
There was some question as 10
whether the Truckee General Elec-
tic company could, at this time,
withdraw from this contract, in
view OF the fact that it signed the
original Garfield contract, and ap-
parently bound itself to build
tunnel on the Nevada side of the
lake. President Taft, however,
holds that inasmuch as the COM
pany never signed the pending
contract, it cannot be held. He
points out that the original con-
tract was never approved 10y Presi-
dent Roosevelt or by himself and
therefor IL not binding.
In Withdrawing from this con-
tract the Truckee General Electric
company states that on account of
the long delay that has occur, d
since it first proposed 10 tunnel ln-
to Lake Tahoe, 1t could not carry
out the terms of the contract in
the time specified. 1t has decided
to withdraw from the negotiations.
This has been done, ana hence
forth this company ceases TO be a
factor in the controversy over tie
use OF the surplus waters OF Lake
Tahoe. The company OF course
retains its water rights along tie
Truckse river and will continue 10
de eselop power AT It's plants along
the stream.
The reclamation service, as lere-
tofore explained, has tisd ON the
surplus waters oi this lake, but IT
had depended on the approval oi
the pending contract to provide
for its storage in Lake Washoe,
and its delivery into the Truckee
river below Reno.
The reclamation service favored
the approval of the contracts be
cause it meant the delivery Of all
the vat cessary for the Iluckee
Carson project, without additional
cost to the government. Now that
the contract is abrogated, the ex-
pense of storing and delivering tn
water must be paid by the reclt-
nation service and eventually be
repaid by settlers. In view OF the
fact that it would cost two million
dollars to drive a tunnel such as
the one proposed in the pending
contract 1t is not expected that the
company will undertake the
scheme, but it is probable that the
government will go ahead with the
condemnation proceedings started
year ago and acquire the land
and the dam now owned by the
Truckee General Electric company
at the outlet Of Lake Tahoe. 1t
can then absolutely control the
runoff oil all Lake Tahoe, and use
the stored waters as IL sees lit ior
irrigation of lands under the
Truckee-Carson project.
Abandonment of the tunnel
project will somewhat restrict The
amount of water that can be lm-
pounded from Lake Tahoe, as 1t
will make it impossible to use
Washoe Lake as a reservoir. How
ever, storage works will be built
on the Carson river and probably
elsewhere, and development OF the
Truckee-Carson project will pro-
coed. No definite line OF pro-
ceedurs has yet been marked out,
and it may be some time before
President Taft, Secretary Balllnger,
and the reclamation service de-
termine the best plan to pursue.
