/ A financial summary prepared by
General Beach shows that to date a
net total OF s15.27s,s2s has been ex-

| for the various units being: Wilson

expended in the fiscal year ended last

continuation Of excavation of lock;
continuation OF concrete work in dam
and continuation of excavation and
concrete construction for poweThouse.
The amounts expended for each would
depend upon the date and amount Of
the appropriation. The rate of expen-

Discussing the present state OF the
