DEPT BILL.
TO PASS
Senator Smoot Tells Coolidge
Congress Will Favor Re-
organization Plan

President Coolidge today was
assured by Senator Reed Smoot
that the bill reorganizing the
Federal Departments would be
passed at the present session Of
Congress.
He declared that opposition to
the bill was dwindIing and called
attention to the fact that the
Bureau of Education in the In
terror Department was really
injuring its own cause by con-
continuing a campaign against
the creation Of a Department Of
Education.
Sees End Of Obstacles.
Senator Smoot said that II the
Bureau of Education desired to re.
main in it's present subordinate po-
sition, the best method Of doing 30
was to defeat the reorganization
plan. He expressed confidence,
however, that obstacles to its pas
sage in both the House and Senate
would be cleared away IN the near
future.
Senator Smoot was more doubt
full regarding the passage of the
$50 900, 900 public buildings bill for
the District. of Columbia He be-
lieves the measure will pass the
Senate without difficulty, but thinks
there will be formidable opposition
in the House.

REPORT IS
GIVEN To
HOUSE
Cong. zihIman Says District
Would Save Millions
Through Plant

Passage by Congress during the
present session Of the bill pro-
viding for construction of hydro
electric plants at Chain Bridge
and Great Falls is asked in q re-
port submitted to the House to-
day by Congressman Frederick N.
Zihlman, of Maryland chairman
Of the subcommittee in charge of
the bill.
Congressman Zihlman in his
report declares that to neglect
the project is wasteful from the
standpoint of conservation of ma
yearly economic loss to the people
of the District.
He declares that power can be
delivered in Washington at a cost
Of SIS mills per kilowatt hour upon
the hydroelectric plan.
Your committee feels that II
ID sound public policy to con-
structe the power dams provided
"
dams, as the demand for electric
and the vicinity" Zihlman reports
He recommended immediate con-
str11tcion Of the first unit of the
project. a rover dam at Chain
Bridge at n cost of $13, 500 900.
Zihlman declared that representa-
tives of prominent investment bank
ers had appeared before the COM
mittee and declared they were will
ing to enter into a lease for the
water power and were prepared to
meet the cost Of the installation of
machinery and generating equip
ment provided they could obtain a
long term lease for the sale and
disposition OF the power.
Huge Savings Seen.
sit is estimated that the needs
Of the District for light and power
IN 1920 was 308.000,00 kilowatt
hours, that the demand for power
is steadily increasing and that 1t
viii reach SOC, 600, 900 kilowatt
hours per annum in 1880, and 900..
100000 kiIowatt hours in 1885,
Zihlman reported.
THE Chain Bridge dam alone
WILL, 1t Is estimated by engineers,
generate 415 zoo. 900 kiIowatt hours
annually. and the most. conservative
estimates Of this project show that
with a saving of only mills per
kilowatt hour. from 500, 900 to
$4,000 per annum would be saved
to the light and power users Of the
District Of Columbia, and that from
1880 to 1915 there would be a
saving to the people of the District
and nearby territories of more than
SO. 900, 000"

at least million persons with contiguous
popula ton in Maryland and Virginia of half
million In 1920 the population of the District of
Columbia, given by the census. was $4,000 In
August of last year had the Census Bureau
of the United States give estimate of the
population of July l, 1924. and that was $4,000.
1t is a matter of arithmetic, therefore. to

continuation of this growth at the present rate

wonderful-a provincial town has been transformed

awakened in people by the magnetic touch and

spirit of more liberal cooperation on the part of
Congress, due in large measure to the wise counsel
and nasterful writings of Crosby s. Noyes, were
the prime factors in the wonderful Transformation,
which beginning in the seventies. is being carried

1t should be pointed out that

tends to keep the present en-
