 From a financial standpoint. one of the attractive features of the Parsdise-verde project is its power possibilities Our plans call for the ultimate development of s0.000 horse power Of hydro electric energy The district can afford to sell this power at a low rate and will realize from its sale sufficient to pay all interest and a sinking fund to retire the bonds in 30 years"
 In other words. the Paradise Verde Is in a position to finance itself from the sale of power as it develops its system And the beauty of the situa- ton lies in the fact that there will be no waste of stored water needed for irrigation in the generation of this power. This is the object Of the New river and other lower reservoirs The generation of power will be near ly constant throughout the winter months and the surplus waters wiz simply be stored in the lower reser- voirs to be used for irrigation during the summer.
