NEW ESTIMATES
INCREASE COST
Black Canyon Construc-
ton Raised 100000;
Election Necessary.

Emmett-Setting forth that the
cost of the Black Canyon dam will ex-
coed the original estimate OF 81 200
600 by approximately 100000. the
reclamation service has presented to
the board of directors OF the Emmett
Irrigation District a supplementary
contract" which the board is asked
to submit to the voters OF the dis
trict for approval or rejection.
This supplemental contract states
at length the reasons Tor the increas-
ed cost-the increased depth OF the
bedrock in the bed OF the river from
10 to IS feet; the excavation OF the
foundation for the abuiments OF the
dam 80 feet deeper than was supposed
increasing the heigh; OF the dam two
feet in order to divert water TO the
Black Canyon district.
The contract speciiicies that until
the Black Canyon district shall use
the dam to divert water. the Emmett
District shall be liable for only the
original amount OF Sl200.OoO. and
should the Black Canyon district new
er use the dam. the excess in cost
above the original estimate will be
charged to the electric power develop
ment; the power that the Black Can
yon district would have used for pump
ing water would be sold Tor CONNER
cial use Whenever the Black Canyon
does use the dam for diversion of wa
ter. the Emmett Irrigation Distric,
will be obliged to pay half the re-
vised cost.
The supplement contract must be
submitted TO the voters OF the district
for approval or rejection. A two-thirds
vote is necessary to approve it.
The appropriation OF 81 100000 will
be exhausted by the end OF this year.
and unless the supplemental contract
calling for the expenditure of $780,
900 more is ratified by the district.
the work will stop. II the contract is
approved, the project will be complet-
ed by the opening OF the irrigation
season next spring.
