Why THE SURPLUS.
AMOUNT



Il may puzzle some Of the landown
srs who are entitled 70 vote on the &C
csptance Of the government eontrac
on April 80. why the district Il mad'
liabls to the amount Of 81 10000 fol
the construction Of the dam and pow
r. plant when the total estimated
cost was only 37S1,s7O. The first
thought 10, that this margin Of t40O,-
600 over the estimate Ii rather too
much Of risk for the district TO as
sumo.
In the preliminary discussion with
the reclamation engineers. the com
mittee representing the district took
up this point. The reclamation Off
GERS were willing TO make the amount
less, but informed the committee that
the amount stated in the contrats
would be the limit the government
could spend whether or not the work
was completed. In case II could not
be completed for the amount in the
contract, no more money could be
made available until more Appropria-
tons and another contract could be
entered into and voted upon. This
meant that in ease an ice gorge,
earthquake, or some other unprcvent-
able cause should sweep away the
structure when partially completed
that there would not b sufficient
funds left 70 complsta or rebuild It
unless there was . safc margin pro-
vidcd in the amount stated In the con-
tract Fer this reason II was thought
advisable by both parties TO Ak the
sum Of the governments obligation
70 furnish funds At figure sufficient
~ large TO insure its completion un-
der any contingency that might arise.
It insures the district sufficient funds
70 complete the work, once 1t is start
ed, under most any circumstances
that might arise.
The contract provides that the dis
trict is only liable for the actual cost
Of the structure and will only be obli-
gated TO repay the actual cost with
but interest. Unless some contingent
~ arises, there is small possibility
n the dam and power plant exceeding
he estimated cost. But II casualties
should occur requiring the expendi-
lure Of the 10000, the half of this,
which is all the district win even
tually have to repay-will still be
,ome $500. 900 less than the estimat-
d cost Of rebuilding our present sys-
EN-. And 1t Is well to remember that
my unusual phenomenon that would
.ause additional expense in the con-
Itruction Of the dam would be apt to
iamAge our present structure.
Therefore, it would seem that the
Il 200 900 in the contract, which is
IS binding on the government as up
IN the district, is more Of an advant-
Igc to tho land owner than disad-
antAge.

cite at $3.50. 1t was hungry COM
pany, however, before the supper was
served, as Payette is slower by one
hour than Emmett, hence it was $3.50

thusiastie meeting was held follow
ing the supper. There were 165
young people n all participating.

BOMBERs' IDENTITY KNOWN.
