lower Colorado river basin. 1t au-
thorized the secretary of the interior
to build high dam, planned at pres
ent to be $50 feet, at the Boulder
canyon on the Colorado river where
that stream is the boundary line be-
tween Arizona and Nevada, creating
a reservoir to build an all-American
canal to get Imperial valleys canal
system out of Mexico and to give
our government more complete con-
troll over the flow of the river.
''The bill provides that the dam is
to be used primarily for flood con-
troll, secondly, for irrigation and do
nestic water, third, for power. When
negotiations with Mexico with refer
ence to this river have been conclud-
ed, the reservoir will also be avail
able for supplying any treaty obli-
cations with that country.
'The bill also provides for carry
ing into effect the Colorado river
compact negotiated between the sew
eral states of the Colorado river ba-
sin. This compact is designed to set
| tie the water disputes on the future
development of the upper states.
Arizona, which state has not rat
flied the compact, is not punished in
any way by the bill Under it she and
her citizens have the same privileges
| the citizens of Nevada and California
have to contract with the secretary
of the interior for water and power
from the project on identical terms
and conditions.
"The bill provides that the secre-
tary may utilize the water as it is
released from the reservoir at the
dam for the generation of electricity
ESTIMATED in amount at $4,000 pri-
mary horsepower which he is auth
orized to wholesale at the switch
board. The secretary is given the al
tentative of leasing the power privi-
leges at the dam and allowing the
Iessees to build their own power
plants. The power will be disposed of
by the secretary under the general
provisions of the federal water act. "
The committee voted to consider
any agreement that may be reached
by commissioners of California, Ne
vada and Arizona, who are attempt
ing to work out a plan for river de-
velopment. If necessary, an amend
ment will be offered to the bill when
it comes before the house to carry out
such an agreement.
The committee voted IL to In
