all of the advantages that make
Boulder Canyon an ideal site for in
itial river control and development
work, Mr.. Davis pointed out.
In the first place, Boulder Can
yon is below all of the large tribut-
aries of the Colorado, with the ex-
ception of the Gila River which en-
Eties into the Colorado just north
of the Mexican line. Other can
yons on the river capable of hold
ing big dam, such as Glen Cam
yon and Bridge Canyon, are above
large tributary rivers and therefore
would not provide complete flood
protection for the valley to the
south.
Natural Dam Location
Situated within 40 miles of the
town of Las Vegas, Nevada. Boulder
Canyon could be more easily and
economically reached by railroads
and highways than any other of the
larger dam sites on the river. Since
millions of tons of materials and
supplies must be shipped in to con-
struct such gigantic dam, Boulder
Canyon S proximity to existing
transportation facilities is of tre-
mendous Importance, it was shown.
The composition of the walls of
Boulder Canyon are of character

other. canyons have walls so solid
| and narrow; they are therefore in
ferior as dam sites, on this account.

engineers declare.
Since the entire cost of construct

the sale of lower and water de-

time, it was demonstrated, because
of its great distance from existing

During the years the Boulder Cam
