Commerce Considering Idea.
Is TO INVESTIGATE COST

The possible effect on local water tax
rates OF the project for the harnessing
OF Great Falls, is to be the subject Of q
careful study by a special COMMITTEES Of
the Chamber OF Commerce.
John II. Lorch, chairman Of the COM
mittee appointed some time ago to give
full consideration to the project. last
night submitted brief report to the
board Of directors of the Chamber at q
meeting in the rooms Of the organization.
recommending that the plan be heartily
supported. provided the water taxes will
not be raised thereby unreasonably high.
The project as now considered by the
War Department EMBRACES two distinct
features-first, the harnessing Of the
falls to supply the city with electric
light and power and second. the con-
struction Of additional arteries of water
supply for the National Capital
May Split the Cost.
1t has been proposed that the ex-
pense be divided equally between the
Federal and District governments. Be-
cause of the gigantic proportions of the
project, members of the Chamber OF
Commerce committee have feared the
water taxes might be increased to meet
the cost.
The committee last night reported that
IF feasible, the project should be given
the strongest moral support Of the or
ganization." The committee was d
rected to institute an investigation to
learn IL possible the effect Of the under
taking on water taxes
An appeal from the Legion Of Loyal
Women fon assistance in the raising of
