Arrow Rock Power

Mr. Harrington's suggestion tina
Gem district farmers pay a proper
tionate share of the cost of Arrow
Rock dam including their proposed
power plant on the basis OF water
used each year looks feasible a; first
glance. Investigation. however, dis
closes weaknesses.
Mr.. Harrington fails to take into
consideration that Arrow Rock makes
possible Deer Flat water in the late
season. And he has completely over
looked this factor in calculating the
proportionate cost Mr.. Harrington
also ignores the fact that far more
than Arrow Rocks water capacity is
delivered to project settlers. Add.
then. an idehni,e sum to Mr.. Harring-
tons cost OF Arrow Rock.
Another thing. Assets are assets
only II there be a market. Arrow
Rock power exists only during the
irrigation season. hence has only de-
'idedIy limited commercial value. Gem
district Offers a market. the only feas-
bic oae. Under such circumstances.
