Horsepower in Arizona

Now / want to call your atten-
ton to what this Colorado River
Compact means to the State of
Arizona. Mr.. LaRue, an engineer
for the U. s. Geological Survey,
has made a great study of the
Colorado River. His report has
been published and is volumin-
Gus, full of accurate data for the
engineers to construct or to build
dam sites. Mr.. LaRue for fiji
teen years has made this his life
study. Three times he has gone
down the Colorado River Canyons
and surveyed the dam sites. |
met Mr.. LaRue six weeks ago in
Flagstaff. He is making a sur
vey Of the Little Colorado in Arls
zona. and I said to Mr.. LaRue,
II want to now how many dam
sites there are in Arizona. I am
not interested in any other dam
Sites" He said, "Their are eight
major and nine minor dam sites
wholly within the Stat of Ari-
zona." Chow much power will
they produce?" He said, "In
time, when built they will pro-
duce six millions horse power"
and then 1 said, Chow much is
that worth?" and he said, cat the
present time, it is worth three
billions Of dollars to Arizona"
That is more than five times the
wealth OF Arizona. That is our
heritage, the power and the wa
