HAS NEW PLAN TO
GETPOWERFROM
POTOMAC FALLS

A solution of the Districts power
problem was offered to the Govern
ment today when James .. Granbery,
local manager OF the w. @. Cornell
Company, engineeringn corporation
submitted a proposal to build .
plant above Great Falls capable OF
supplying not only the present, but
any possible future demands OF the
city for power of any kind. Mr.. Gran
berry offered to build the plant for
81 / 900. 900 and guaranteed to com
plete the work in eighteen months.
"The statement of the Potomac
Electric Power Company that there
isn't enough fall in the Potomac for
this purpose is ridiculous" said Mr..
Granbery. "The dam which my COM
pany proposes will afford a drop or
IA feet. which Is sufficient to gen
crate power for all the demands OF
city several times the size OF wash
ington.
This proposal Is not q theory. but
Is a carefully worked out plan by
some of the best engineers in the
country. It involves the building Of
a dam about three quarters OF q mile
q above Great Falls and q feeder canal
two and a half miles east to the pro
posed power house at Cupid's Bower.
This should not be confused with
the numerous Great Falls" water
power projects. II Is an entirely new
and more up-to-date plan and includes
