Milne Says It's Lower.
Excluding from consideration
the emergency appropriation OF
$4,000 for a 10 per cent increase
in school facilities to meet the
expected growth Of the city ana
which is conceded by State Edu-
cational Auditor John Joerns to
he most likely to receive his ap-

city of Albuquerque for the com

year." said Superintendent John
Milne of the city schools. in dis
cussing a statement by Mr..
.Joerns that the school levy had

sary increases, including the ex-
pansion of the University Heights
school from two-room to a
four-room school, and the en-

schools. 1t is taken care of in the
estimate for the coming year with
out an increase in expenditures"
Regarding the $4,000 fund for
contingent increase Mr.. Milne

will be available for use in the
succeeding year for any necessary
school purpose"

bad. The farmers and stockmen
there are in direst straits, and l
have participated with them In
many discussions as to how best to
relieve the burden Of taxation. At
none of their meetings has there
been suggestion for closing
schools, but expenses have been
materially reduced"
Mr.. Joerns said that Superln-
tendent Mines report, showing
that school expenses last year had
been kept within the budget and
would leave an unexpended balance
OF $4,000, was an indication of the
value of the budget system. The
preceding year, he said. closed with
an overdraft of $4,000.
There is general dissatisfaction
with the county unit school law,
Mr.. Joerns stated. II Is impossible
under this law to get an equal dis
tribution of money raised by taxa

extravaganza and waste he said.

EMPIRE COMPANY TO
CONSTRUCT new Dam
Numerous Inland Lakes Will Be
Formed When Dam is Built at
Table Rock.

The Empire District Electric COM
pany has been granted a preliminary
permit by the federal power commits
sion to erect a dam at Table Rock at
a cost of approximately $l5,0O0,OOO.
The project is known as Project No.
1924 and work under the terms of the
recent grant will probably begin in
the near future. The preliminary
permit authorizes the Empire COM
pany to proceed with the work pro-
vided the plans and specifications as
submitted to the federal commission
are carried out. Later q permanent
permit may be obtained by the com
pany upon making proper application
to the commission.
The proposed dam at Table Rock
will be IT'S feet high with a span of
1,500 feet. This dam will back White
river up to Beaver, Ark, and James
river to point near Galena. Lakes
approximately 80 miles in length will
be formed both on the James and
White Rivers, giving a total shore
line Of about 500 miles. Table Rock,
which is to be the site Of the new
dam, is located on White river about
five miles southwest of Branscn and
Hollister.
In addition to- the two large lakes,
several creeks such as Indian creek
and Jake's creek will be filled with
back water for at least portion of
the time. However, since the lake
formed by the dam Sat Table Rock is
to serve as a reservoir for Lake
Taneycono, the shore line of the new
lake will be permanent. During the
flood season, in the fall and spring,
the various creeks joining James and
White rivers will be filled with back
water, but during the summer months
when Lake Taneycomo is in need of
water from the reservoir to keep the
water of the latter body at a fixed
level, the supply will be taken from
the lake formed by the dam at Table
Rock and as a result sEe shore line Of
the nEws iake will BE- soslse,iiltls
changing.
The new dam will be It's feet in
height and the upper rs feet Of water
will be used as reserve supply for
Lake Taneycomo, according to the
present plan. This will tend to keep
Lake Taneycomo at the same level
throughout the year and also keep it
more or less free from sediment, silt
and driftwood which now collects
along the shores during the spring
freshets. Both Branson and Hollister
will prosper by the erection of the new
dam and Lake Taneycomo will be as
sured of a permanent level and un-
changing shore line.
The new dam will generate ap-
proximately 10000 horsepower and
will serve as an auxiliary to the
10000 horse power plant at Riverton,
which is also owned ana operated by
the Empire company. A direct trans
mission line will probably be strung
from the dam at Table Rock to
Aurora, where it will connect with
the high tension lines from the River
ton dam.
