BANKER SAYS DELAYED
RIVER DEVELOPMENT
COSTS SAL, 900, YEAR

Urging consideration of the penalty
for marking time in the development
of Colorado river resources, rather
than the cost or method, Charles F.
Stern, preSident-of the Pacific-Sonth-
west Trust and Savings Bank of Los
Angeles, placed the Colorado question
before the twenty-second annual con-
vention of the Arizona Bankers asso-
citation in session at Phoenix Friday
as problem not of statecraft, or of
politics, but one of finance He con-
servatively estimated the cost of iies
lay at $47, ,000,O00 annually.
Reducing the question to the
language of the bankersy who are in
attendance from Arizona, California.
and Texas. Mr.. Stern steered cares
fully from the political issues involved
and spoke in the terms of dollars and
cents.
"Let us say" Mr.. Stern suggested,
chat the water>ef the Colofado is.
worth at minimum / cent per 1000
gallons When the flow of the river
is equated, that flow will be aUproxi-
mately 10000 second feet every day
in the year What does that mnan in
money! It means that while we wait
for the development Of the Colorado
river, every time the second hand of
your watch jumps, somebody has lost
S1.5O III value of wasted water. Every
minute 500 is lost; $1,000 every hour;
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
water goes TO waste during this morn
ing's session, reaching the tidy sum of
SAT ,000000 a year. That is the cost
of delay; that and a potential produe-
tivity that would give afr-annual out.
put Of close to Sl,000,000 day in
value of agricultural products. That,
Plus potential hydroelectrical de-
vcloptnent, which is double the pres
ent total >hyiroelectrieal development
of all the states involved."
To illustrate what the delay is cost
ing, the Los Angeles banker pointed
TO the intensive development of the
rich Salt River valley,Sin which 300,-
600 acres are under cultivation, sup
porting large population and adding
