FAVOR LANGFTTT Plan
FOR HARVESTING FALLS
Army Engineers Indorse Potomac
Power Plant Project.

Indorsing the project of the Langitt
Board in 1918 for the establishment of a
power plant at Great Falls to increase
the water supply OF the District and at
the same time develop more power for
electric lights and other government
uses. the finding of the special board of
engineers appointed to study the situa-
ton was submitted to Secretary Baker
yesterday.
The members Of the board were Col.
H, c. Newcomer, Lieut.. Col. c. A, F.
Flagler, and Lieut.. Col. w. W. Harts,
whose study of the project extended over
a period Of several months.
The estimated cost Of the plant as sub
mitted by the Langhtt Board was
s5,172,6 900 for increase OF the water sup
ply, and ss,s4s,ooo for power development.
This cost has always blocked the con-
summation of the plan. although the ad-
vantages to be derived both by the Fed
.eral government and the District have
always been recognized when legislation
has been brought to bear on the subject
The new board. which made its report
yesterday, has been operating on the
theory that a plant built near the falls
could be established at far less expense
If the question of increasing the water
supply were eliminated and only the
power possibilities considered.
Owing to lack Of funds the board was
obliged to use the data gathered by the
Langhtt Board, and the substance of
the report rendered is that the Langftt
plan. which provided for both the water
supply and the power conservation, is the
most feasible
1t Is believed that the report embodies
plea for the preservation Of the scenic
beauty Of the falls in case action should
be taken toward building the plant.
