Northern State Demands
Lower Basin Guarantee
Water Supply.
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-Chanccs
for ratification Of the Colorado
river Boulder dam compact within
the next SIX months, will depend
largely upon the action taken by
Utah, government authorities pre-
dict1d here today.
Although the Utah Bar Associa
tion and many organizations of civil
engineers in that state favor ratifi
cation Of the compact observers
pointed out that Utah may withhold
signature until Arizona has adhered
and guaranteed her water rights.
Under the scven-statc compact
Utah would receive 100000 acre
trct of water whenever she may
require it.
Utah 5 adherence to the compact
rests upon her demand that the
lower basin states guarantee her
rights to this amount of watcr,
which she claims viii be needed foe
future irrigation projects in that
state, it was explained.
Although present agricultural de-
precision in Utah, Colorado AMI
Wyoming-thc sta5es which viii
furnish the water stored by Boulder
dam will not permit the use of all
the water they demand, these states
are firm in their stand that theis
rights be fully protected.
Arizona $ adherence to the pacr,
it was explained, depends largely
upon the settlement of power tax
dispute with California. Her posi-
tion, it was explained by one auth
ority, is that California derives both
utilization and taxes from the water
which Arizona st0tes on her Owl
power site. Arizona is represented
as feeling that some feasible ar
rangcmcnt should ~ made whereby
she will derive some revenue from
California 5 supply Of Boulder dam

on the compact.
Plans Progressing
Although California had shown
resentment because she will receives
200, goo acre feet of water less
under the seven state compact than
the $500, 600 acre feet she demands.
authorities have expressed belize
that, with some minor reservations,
hcr signature HAY reasonably be-
expected.
Likewise, Utah tand Arizona arrI
understood to favor ratification oil
the compact with certain qualifica-
tionS, since the power project
regarded mutually rs essential to
further development of agriculture
in those states.
Despite the fact that ratification
is necessary before actual work on
the dam can begin, the engineering
staff is being perfected. Reclama.

NEW FINANCE PLAN
PUT IN OPERATION BY
FORD MOTOR CO.

Fred G. Gray of the Cumber-
land Motor Co., Ford dealers,
returned last Thursday from
Bristol, where he received de.
tails of the new Ford finance
plan.
Inc new finance plan will be
operated by the Universal
Credit company, an affiliated
specialized organization con-
trolled by the Ford Motor COM
pany and operating solely for
the purpose of financing Ford
products on time basis. The
branch office serving this terri
tory is located at Cincinnati on
the eighth floor of the Ameri-
can building.
This is of special interest to
prospective purchasers of Ford
products on a time basis. Under
this authorized finance plan,
Ford customers will have a fl
nance service available which
is sound and in keeping with
Ford policies and standards.
The plan is nationwide in
scope and for the exclusive use
/ rord dealers.
1t is another step of the Ford
organization in reducing the
costs by controlling operations
from the mine to the consumer.
The cost of this service will be
lower than any therefore, avail
able to Ford customers on a
national basis, and automati-
cally reduces the price of Ford
cars purchased on a time pay
amnt basis. 1t is further ex-
preston of the established Ford
policy of giving outstanding
values and complete service to
the consumer at the lowest pos
sible cost.
The plan also contemplates
the purchase by Universal
Credit Company of sound and
adequate fire and theft insur-
ance, protecting the joint inter-
ests of the purchaser, the deal
err and the company in the car.
The purchaser receives a
policy of standard insurance
providing protection for one
year. Such policies are issued
by the Home Insurance COM
pany of New York. The policies
provide for settlement based on
the actual cash value of the
car a. time of loss.
The Cumberland Motor Co.
will be glad to explain al! de-
tails of the plan, which applies
to both new and used cars pur-
chased from Ford dealers.
