WATER LEVEL
MAIN TANNED
ALTERNATELY
This Years Show Pays Up
Back Bills, Adds to Equip
ment and Starts Off with
Fine Prospects

Installation of device for the
control of the head water in the
power canal near Prosser is in
progress, T. R. Smith, acting sup
erintendent of the Yakima project,
said last week. The concrete base
for it has been constructed, and
the head level control will be in OPP
Grafton this week.
"The purpose of the head level
control is to hold water in the
canal at the same elevation and as
sure uniform operation of t h e
power plant he said. "The device
will control the flow in the canal
automatically.
.'The plant is semi-automatie,
and if anything goes wrong, it will
stop, but it will not start again
without the attendant turning on
the switch. We have a siphon spill
way preventing the water from
getting dangerously high. The
plant is running smoothly
due to higher water in the
Yakima river, the head is not as
great as during the low watel
stage, and on that account tht
plant has not generated quite as
much electrical energy as before.

OLD CENSUS SITE
PURCHASE APPROVED
McSwain Resolution Would Cancel
Authority Given by Congress.
price Exhorbitant."

A joint resolution prohibiting the
Government from purchasing the old
Census Building at First and B streets
for extension Of the Capitol Plaza was
introduced yesterday by Representative
McSwain, Democrat. of South Carolina
who charged the price asked by the
owner was excessive.
The resolution not only provides for
the cancellation of the authority given
by Congress for acquisition of the prop
erty. but for the repeal of any law that
would permit expenditure of money for
that purpose. 1t also terminates any
condemnation proceeding which now
might be pending for purchase of the
lot.
McSwain declared the use Of the LOT
on which the old building stands is not
necessary at this time in the develop
ment of the plaza. He charged that the
owner of the property, knowing the
Government probably would desire to
purchase it. had caused the property to
be assessed at twice its former assess
ment. This was done. he claimed. ia
justify demand for an excessive and
unreasonable price for the property.
