MILLIONS TO BE SPENT HERE ID
 DEVELOP POWER
Water Users Assn, Plans Gigantic Program to Pro- vide This Valley Ample Means of Irrigating Every Acre

A program of electric power devel- opment and transmission which will be carried out by the Salt River Valley Water Users association during the next few years will entail the expendf- lure of many millions of dollars it fas revealed yesterday by Fred C. Henshaw, secretary of the association.
 More than 100000 acres of desert in and adjacent to the Salt River valley will be converted into fruitful farm iaiSds within a year with irrigation water obtained by pumping plants op- erated by new electric power plants and supplemented by waste waters zifom the Salt River project
 Sufficient power will be generated for this purpose by two 5000 k. W. electrical plants and the power output of the present huge plant at Roose- welt dam will be augmented to provide ,.s1dditional power for use by farmers ia the Salt River valley.
 -r A Dream To Be Fulfilled
 On the eve of his departure from 7aetive work with the Water Users as ssociation, Project Manager w. R. EI- lott who has worked for nine years 10 the end that electric energy might be developed here to its fullest extent will see his dream on the way to fu1- fillment.
 s The Water Users association should be the chief electrical con- pany in the valley Mr. Elliott main tains, because it has large invest lnents here already in power plants and has control over the natural power resources which it can always hold if ii gets in and develops them.
 "To do this the association is ham, dlcapped in not having sufficient capi- tai to develop power as fast as the demand for it increases. The three 5 big contracts which were approved by the association at the last meeting of the board of governors, fit in per 1ectly with the power program of the association. The three projects will 2 be financed separately and from wide 7 ly separated sources, so there is prac- tically no danger of them being held up for lack of funds to carry out the work
 To Start Work At Once
 Work on the 5000 k. w. steam cleo trical plant will be started within the next three months. as will the plant at Roosevelt dam, of a similar capacity The Roosevelt dam plant will be in operation by the early part of next summer. and will supplement the main plant there in furnishing water to Salt River valley farmers
 One of the most important steps iu the power program will be tho con- struction of a dam at Mormon flats which will be used for the double pur- pose of restoring water used at Roosevelt dam for generating power

only, and for the storing of water which overflows the spillways when the Roosevelt dam is full. The Nor mon flats dam will also conserve wa ter which runs off of the watershed between that place and Roosevelt lake.
 Surveyors will be sent to the new dam site immediately to determine the size and type of dam needed and also to estimate the probable cost or such work.
 Win Be Able To Store Power
 Hydraulic power as it must now be developed at Roosevelt dam does not permit the association to contract to furnish power regularly the year around. as in the winter when little irrigating is done, it is not worth while to allow water to flow from the lake in order to generate power alone. The dam at Mormon flats would over come this difficulty, as the water used to generate power could then be re- stored later.
 Farmers in the Salt River valley would be able to get better water ser vice with a dam at Mormon flats, as it would place the point of release about 40 miles nearer the distributing point and make it easier to calculate the time required for the water to flow down to the farming lands. As it now is, when a call is sent to Roose-
  amount of water, the exact time of its arrival to the consumer cannot be fore told A great deal of inconvenience of this kind would be done away with if the point of service were closer.
 Farmers To Get Big Benefits
 It has been one of the chief objects of Manager Elliott in his work with the association to secure electric pow CT for the farmers of the valley to be used in lighting their houses and for the many other uses to which e1ec- tricity may be put. MT. Elliott is now working on a plan for the organizing of a power district which will embrace about five square miles in the north east part of the project This district will work out details of cost, size, method of collection and supervision, which when perfected will be adopted generally throughout the valley as fast as the farmers signify their desire to organize.
 MT. Elliott handed in his resigna- ton from the association three months ago, to take effect May l, but his work was so badly needed that he was persuaded to stay on until the present condition of affairs in his departme could be put in shape for his success sor. Mir. Elliott came to the valley nine years ago, as an electrical engi- neer for the reclamation service. When the Salt River project was taken over by the water users he became project manager and chief engineer. position which he has held ever since. Dur ing his term of office he has seen the project grow from a struggling begin ming to its present triumphant propor- tions, and he has worked very hard that there might be huge electrical plants to supply the vital energy for the valley
