FALL APPROVES MEASURE TO
BUILD BOULDER CANYON DAM
COST is ESTIMATED AT $4,000 900;
SUGGESTS BOND ISSUE INSTEAD
OF DIRECT APPROPRIATION; 700, 900
II. p. WOULD BE DEVELOPED
DAM WOULD CONTROL FLOOD WATERS
AND STORE SUPPLY FOR IRRIGA-
TON OF LARGE AREAS OF RICH
AGRICULTURAL LANDS

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Swing bill for
construction of the Boulder Canyon dam and develop
ment of the lower Colorado river basin at an approx
innate cost Of $70000000 was approved today by Sec
retary Fall in letter to Senator Kinkead of the house
committee on irrigation of arid lands
Declaring himself in general agreement with pro-
visions of the BILL Secretary Fall wrote that large
reservoir in the vicinity of Boulder Canyon could be
used as to eliminate substantially the flood menace
of the Colorado river. 1t would provide he said a
water supply for the irrigation of large areas of fertile
land in the lower river basin that cannot be developed
without the storage of water.
"Of the lands rrgabe from the development pro-
posed, l66,9OO irrigable public lands in Cali
forna, ne said and these would be opened with pref
cradle rights to former soldiers. Such reservoir
would develop about 100000 turbine horsepower and
would have important relation the conservation
OF the oil and coal supply of the nation"
Secretary Fall tentatively suggested bond issue
as means of constructing the proposed works. being
less burdensome than a direct government appro-
priaton.
1T must be apparent" he wrote, "that sufficient
sums be recovered from the sale of power at the
dam to finance the construction by amortization as sug
gested of amounts to be derived from the sale of gov
ernment bonds without imposing further burden on
the taxpayers and yet in line with good and sound
finance
The Swing measure, the secretary said, affects the
entire stream system touching the states of Arizona
California, Colorado Nevada New Mexico Utah,
Wyoming and the republic of Mexico number Of
changes in the bill were suggested
