ut would mean that there would be-

Reid, however, declared that tho
delay might give an opportunity to
the three states to iron out some OF
their differences.
The question of a royalty payment
by California for power used froni
the proposed Boulder dam was re-
opened at the conference today. Cali
fornia has offered to pay 81 per

zona demand is interpreted by Cali
fornia to mean a charge of Sc per

H. S. McCluskey, of Arizona. SAID
Arizona did not intend to charge
California higher rate on power
than would be charged within tht'
state of Arizona. BY holding the tax
rate down tto this limit he satd.
California would be guaranteed that
Arizona would not charge "all the
