Wilbur To Talk
Plans at October
Power Confab
Proposal That Government
Build Power House Will
BY Discussed with Com
mission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, Up)-The
federal government probably will
build power houses at Boulder Dam
and arrange with purchasers of cur
rent to install machinery to pro-
duce and distribute it, Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur said today. This
was the first intimation given of
what methods the Interior Depart
ment would adopt to dispose of cur
rent generated there.
Wilbur said several plans of dis
tributing power were being consid-
cred but ne considered this plan
preferable as it will place the
technical problems of generation
and transmission of power in the
hands OF the purchasers"
Four of The largest applicants for
Boulder Dam power, together with
representatives of the states of Ne
vada and Utah, have been called to
meet with Wilbur october IA Meth
DDS of selling and distributing power
will be discussed then.
Wilbur pointed out that inaSmuch
as a large number of applicants are
interested III obtaining Boulder Dam
power they should work together
in accordance with some agreed
upon plan" which he hopes will be
concluded at the october meeting.
What we want to do" Wilbur
said, "iS to sell falling water There
are several alternative plans. The
one which seems to fit the condi-
ton best is to have the government
build the dam and power houses
and arrange with the leases to in
stall the machinery to produce ana
distribute the power"
