State line to Baltimore. From that
city to Washington, the party was

police on duty on the Baltimore

$500, 900 Given for Increased
Service and 100000 for
Great Falls Plant.

The project OF giving Washington
an increased water supply was passed
upon favorably by the Senate yester-
day in appropriating 100000 for this
purpose, and another item OF $2O0, 900
with which to begin construction on
hydroelectric power plant at Great
Falls. Both items were contained in
the army appropriation bill as II pass
ed the Senate.
The money for beginning work on
the Increased water supply was An
amendment to the House bill recon-
mended by the committee reporting
the bill. IL met no opposition.
senator Norris offered the water
power development proposal as an
TO the committee amend
ment, and Senator King of Utah at
once made a point OF order against
IL. but was oyerruled. Senator King
said that the completion of the Great
Falls project as outlined in the report
OF Major Tyler would cost ultimately
between $4,000. 900 and 1000, 600.
and that. he said. was entirely too
huge a sum TO authorize without nrst
giving II thorough consideration.
Senator Norris made an extended
speech In support of his amendment,
declaring that the proposal to in
crease the water supply OF the Dis
trict and to develop the wate[power
OF Great Falls should go together.
The question, he said, had been before
Congress for fifteen years, and the
report now before Congress was the
result OF an appropriation for a pre-
liminary survey made last year.
THE only people who opposed the
plan TO develop the wsterpower in
terests OF Great Falls were the street
railway interests who do not want
the people here to have cheap electric
power" he declared.
