Plan Urged at Black

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--,Pt--The
congressional commission OF engi-
neers and biologists appointed to in
vestigate the feasibility Of the Col
orado river project has recommend
ed that the dam be built at Black
Canyon and estimates the cost at
Sl65, 900 900.
In its report, submitted to con-
gress today by Secretary West, the
commission declared to be basic
the engineering feasibility Of the
dam across the main stream of the
Colorado river at Black Canyon or
Boulder Canyon.
III no other site were available. the
commission reported. the Boulder
Canyon site could safely be used 20
far as geological conditions are con-
cerned. I'm comparison with the
Black Canyon site. however" 1t said,
"the latter has certain advantages
II recommended that the main ca
nal to be constructed in connection
with the project be entirely within
the United States.
Under the proposed plan" the en-
ginetrs reported, "the water Is 70
be divtrted from the river at Lagu-
ma dam. the present intake of the
canal from the Yuma irrigation pro-
icct. % miles BY river above the IN
take Of the Imperial canal. This will
allow water TO be taken from the
river al the higher elevation neces-
sary to permit the canal 70 serve its
purposes
The dam would impound 26,000,0O0
acre feet Of water.
If the dam should fail. the report
said. the flood created probably
would destroy Needles. Parker,
Blythe. Yuma and permanently de-
strOy the levees Of the Imperial dis
trict, creating a channel into Salton
sea. which probably would be so
deep that il would be impracticable
to reestablish the Colorado river N
its normal course. To avoid such
possibilities. the report continued.
the dam should be constructed on
conservative, if not ultra-conserva-
tive lines
