GREAT FALLS PROJECT
WILL NOT Be PUSHED
Army Officers Recommend Thorough
Studies of All Phases of Plan.

According to the report Of army engi-
neer officers, the proposed development
of the Great Falls power project by
the government should not occur un-
til through studies have been made
Into all the phases of the project.
The board consists of Col. Henry c.
Newcomer. Lieut.. Col. Clement A Flag
Ter and Lieut.. Col William W. Harts.
The report has been accepted by Secre-
tary Baker. and 1t appears that there Is
little hope Of the project being developed
at this time. unless Congress should go
ahead with the appropriations to bring
out further developments.
According to the report of the engineer
board, "the development of the power
project Is feasible" If the project Is
undertaken 1t should provide for an aver
age daily horsepower of 66,OoO with in
stallation of a peak load of 10000. the
report says. The cost of the development
at the site alone exclusive of transmits
sion to market and delivery to consumer)
will be about 81, 100000.

Despite the fact that the Southeast
Citizens Association went on record
Wednesday night as opposed to the build.
ing Of the new public swimming pool
on the site Of the proposed vocational
school in Potomac avenue, plans are
being completed for the erection Of the
pool. according to Commissioner Louis

for the school. the pool VIII not interfere
with the institution.

school was purchased by Congress sew
eral years ago for $4,000. But since
then, according to the Citizens Associa-

citizens have been carrying on in voca-
tional work. with the idea Of establish
ing a model institution in the District.

WOULDEMPLOY MOVIES
IN SAFETY first WORK
W. H. Seabury and F. H. Elliott to
Discuss Plans at Convention.

William Morgan Seabury, general coun-
sci. and Frederick H. Elliott. executive
secretary of the National Association Of
the Motion Picture Industry. have just
been appointed delegates to attend the
Safety First Federation Convention in
Baltimore and present some suggestions
as to how the producers in cooperation
with the motion picture theatres through
out the country can promote the cause of
Safety First" in fire prevention and in
preventing street accidents through edu-
cational films.
The Safety First campaigns which are
becoming more and more numerous as
their value is appreciated make use of
educational films to drive home to the
citizens the lessons Of sanitation, fire
prevention, and safety in the streets.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Elliott, who was
formerly executive secretary of the Safe
ty First Federation, to bring about a
closer cooperation between the two ma
uonal bodies and to make known to the
public the readiness of the motion pic
ture industry as a whole to promote the
cause Of Safety First

HE VALUES GREAT FALLS
POWER SITE AT MILLION

Continuing the investigation into the
valuation of the properties Of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company, the
Public Utilities Commission yesterday
asked Harold Almert, expert for the
power company. whether the Great Falls
power site would be capable of economic
development.
The witness replied that he had read
government reports as to the productive
power of the site which was valued in
his report at 100000.
The witness was questioned by Engineer
Commissioner Kutz as to why the figures
were so high and he replied that the
property would increase in value as the
supply Of coal decreased and higher prices
were demanded.
