About 10000 Tons Could Be
Saved by Project, o. c.
Merrill Explains

The increasing cost Of producing
electricity by steam and the in
creasing demands for electric
power in Washington justify the
United States Government under
taking construction Of great
hydro-electric plant at Great Falls,
o. C. Merrill, secretary of the
Water Power Commission, told the
special House subcommittee today.
Cost Would Be Cut.
Mr.. Merrill declared that the Pc.
tomac river could produce more
than twice the amount Of electric
current now consumed in Washing.
ton at a cost far lower than the
present rate.
Even partial development Of
the proposed plant, he stated. would
mean saving Of 10000 tons Of
coal a year and would result ia re.
duced electric rates.
Il do not favor the Government
creating public utility projects an a
general rule" Mr.. Merrill said. ''This
however, Is so unusually practicable
ana worthwhile a project and 90
appropriate in view Of the relation
OF the Federal government to the
district and surrounding tNr1itorv
tnat am convinced the erection OF
this plant would be a wise and
proper STEP" =
Government development Of the
pant should not be regarded by
local utilities az an attack on their
rights, Mr.. Merrill stated. Ha ex-
planned that the Government can
build the plant and dispose Of the
current under two arrangements.
Not Federal Enterprise.
1t can either build the plant and
operate 1t as a government enter.
prise, selling the current under con.
tract TO the local utilities companies
and distributing agencies or IL can
Duiid and lease the plant outright.
he said.
Under either condition, he de,
clared. the plant should be leased
only under a contract providing that
the public should receive the fun
benefit from the difference between
the cost OF producing current by
the present means and by hydro
electric method.
The contract should also provide
for refunding Of the government
expenditure. he stated.
He told the committee that the
plan IL carried into effect would
greatly enlarge and safeguard the
District water supply. He also de-
clared that 1t would create q water
park almost without parallel and
would greatly increase the. value Of
land in the Potomac valley and
would make possible the holding Of
international water sports and re-
gattas in Washington.
