REPRESENTATIVE MOORE ASKS
ACTION ON GREAT FALLS PLAN
Virginia Man Explains
Enormous Commercial
Possibility of Power
Transmission in Three
States.
by Rep. II. WALTON MOORE.
Eighth Virginia District.

The matter discussed in the Tyler
report on the Development Of the
Great Falls for Water Power"
(Which is the result of a very thor
ough investigation, following the
discussion that has gone on fo'
many years.. Is a matter within
the province of Congress Of peculiar
interest to the District of Columbia
and nearby states. But in present
ing the report to Congress last win
ter. with its approval. the Federal
Water Power Commission, composed
Of the Secretaries OF War, Interior
and Agriculture, looking beyond
the local situation said: The
project, when completed. will stand
as an illustration to the country
generally of the immense value of
water power development in the
conservation of our natural re-
sources"
The main conclusion reached by
the engineers of the War Depart
ment, of whom Maj. Tyler is the
spokesman, after protracted and
careful study, is summarized as fol-
lows in the report now printed as
Senate document: "A comprehen-
sive development OF the potomac
River for power purposes by means
of power dams in the main river
and storage reservoirs on certain Of
the larger tributaries is economic
cally feasible. and continuous power
thereby can be generated at q cost
per killowat hour of approximately
so per cent less than for power
generated by steam (even with the
price of coal as low as 81 per toni,
il the entire output of the hydro
electric plant can be marketed"
Proat from Work.
II is the confident opinion of the
engineers that the sale of the
power at one-half of the rates now
paid for electric current in the Dis
trict would not only take care of
the expense of operation and main
teuance, but would yield a return
Of 6 per cent on the investment, and
in thirty years repay the original
outlay.
Not Unexpectedly. there are those
who claim that the development is
not a good business proposition

the Power Commission, in advance
of the report being sent to Con
