 R. H. Ballard, vice-president and gen.
 eral manager of the Southern Califor-
 mia Edison Company:
 Absolute flood control of the Col .orado river, a large increase in the
 minimum flow permitting irrigation
 of millions of acres of new lands,
 and the development of the initial power plants at Boulder Canyon, and the construction of the controlling dam at Glen canyon, can all be ac- ,complished by our company, and as
 sociated privately owned companies in approximately two years from the time Federal and State authority is ,granted". MT. Pearson followed this with other data along general lines.
 H. A .Schenck, a civil engineer and Photographic engineer in the employ of the Southern California Edison Company followed MT. Pearson and spoke in part as follows: Arizona today is 100000 H. P. shorty in it's needs, and power is costing you $12O to $125 per H. P. per year. At the present time the Southern California Edison Company is furnishing power in California at BPS per H. P. per year. The small electric companies in Arizona have expressed themselves willing to cooperate. It makes no difference whether the water is be- ing used or not, it takes the same rate to generate electric energy. Off, ficials of our company guarantee that two years after we are granted a li- cense by the Federal Power Commis- sion, we will have power on the line, and this power will be furnished to the people of Arizona, at practically the same rate at which the Califor- mia people receive power, that is in the neighborhood of BPS per H. F. It is absolutely necessary that the Glenn Canyon dam and the Boulder Canyon dam be built at the same time-the Glenn Canyon dam to impound the over supply, which Boulder Canyon could not possibly store. Boulder Canyon dam cannot be by-passed".
 MT. Schenck proved an interesting and instructive talker, who parried or answered with skill the many ques- tions propounded by persons in the audience. Such questions as were outside his province as a civil and photographic engineer he frankly stated he could not answer; but he did answer clearly and concisely all ques- tions pertaining to his department of the Southern California Edison Com pany. He is fluent speaker and it will behoove the representatives from Mohave County to the coming session at Riverside, California, on dam site projects on the Colorado River to be thoroughly versed on the Boulder Canyon Dam project and be prepared to answer many technical questions, if the representatives of the Southern California Edison company who will be present there are of similar men, tai type with the gentlemen who ad- dressed the Chamber of Mines and Commerce here last Tuesday evening.
 Mir. Schenck was caught off-guard but once during his address. That was when he stated unequivocally the decision reached by his company to make Las Vegas, Nevada, the outfit ting point for dam construction on the Colorado river in Mohaye County and This statement proved somewhat startling to the propon- ents of the Boulder Canyon dam pro- ject resident in Mohave county, and more particularly so when he supple mented his statement by saying that
