ments the district attorney 5 office

within 50 years. The third alterna
tive provides that the secretary OF
interior is to build the dam, build
the power plant, generate electricity
and sell it at the switchboard under
80 year contracts for a sufficient
amount to repay the government the
entire cost with interests, except
that $25, 100000 is considered flood
control item and bears no interest
but is to be repaid after the other
reimbursement.
A third unit or section of the act
provides for the construction of an
all American canal connecting the
Colorado river with Imperial and
Coachella valleys, the cost Of same
to be repaid to the government with
out interest by the sale of power
produced on the canal and from the
lands benefited.
The total cost of the entire pro-
ject was estimated by what is known
as the "Sibert Commission to be
$l65, 100000. The act does not
itemize the amounts but the gen.
eral view of the Sibert report is that
the canal will cost $38, 8,500,O00, the
power plant $3l 800 600, dam $70,-
900 600, and interest during the pc
riod of construction when there is
no revenue, $25, 100000. The Sibert
commission was authorized by the
seVentieth congress to investigate
the cost and feasibility of the pro,
.ject The commission reported il
feasible and estimated the costs
about as above.
The largest market for the power
is expected to be the city Of Los
Angeles and the populous Southern
California communities. = CONNER
eial water supply for the same peo-
pie is also a fixed part Of the pro-
ject, the Metropolitan Water Dis
trict, organized under the laws OF
the state OF California and including
more than 20 cities in its member
ship needs and is ready to contract
for supply OF potable water.
The allAmerican canal is expected
TO add 100000 acres or more to the
outer sections of Imperial Valley
eventually. Fer practical purposes
Imperial and Coachella valleys are
as one, separated only by Salton Sea,
the water surface of which is 80
feet below sea level. The Imperial
Valley at present embraces 6u0,O0o
acres. This area produces non
competitive crops such as lettuce III
winter and cantaioupes IN spring
when no other sections can mature
them.
The Boulder dam had its inception
20 years ago in Imperial Valley al.
though the name Boulder dam dld
not come into being until 1922 when
congress received the report of the
secretary of interior recommending
its construction.

the people of Imperial Valley had
some merit behind their plea for
recognition
May IS, 1920 an act directing the
secretary of the interior to max a
study of the needs Of Imperial Valley
became effective. Even then the
Imperial Irrigation District was re-
qulred to match more than dollar for
dollar every cent expended by the
government in this investigation.
Then came another eight years and
the Boulder dam project act was
signed by President Coolidge Dec.
q, 1928. 1t was to become effective
II immediately upon ratification by
|, seven states of the Colorado river
compact, but if, at the end of six
months, only six states had ratified
the compact then it was to become
J effective with such ratification and
z proclamation by the President. The
President 8 proclamation is expected
IN Washington today or tomorrow.

The act also provides three al

first will be the leasing of the wa
