Coolidge Dam TO
Be Ready In 1923

The Coolidge dam project, at the en-
trance to Box Canyon of the Gila
river thirty-five miles southeast Of
Globe, may be finished and turned
over to the government nine months
previous to the time limit set by the
governments contract. This an
nouncement was made by Lynn At
kinson, member of the engineering
firm Of Atkinson and Spicer of Los
Angeles, which was awarded the con
tract.
w. M. Reed, chief engineer of the
United States Indian irrigation serv-
ice at Washington, was in Los An
geles last week conferring with At
kinson and Fred A, Noetzli, consult
ing engineer for the Indian service at
Los Angeles.
The contract awarded to Atkinson's
firm calls for the completion of the
Coolidge dam not later than June 80
1929. However, the Los Angeles CON
tractor assured the government engi-
neers that if no delay is made in APP
preparations for the work, the dam and
other work connected with the project
probably could be finished as early as
September, 1928.
The Coolidge Dam is the first dam
in the world to be constructed on the
multiple dome plan and the engineer
ing world is closely watching the de-
velopment of the project. The dam
will impound sufficient water TO irri-
gate more than 100000 acres, being
located at the confluence of the Gila

is being limited by congress to $5,-
