about 400 relief workers are en-

upheld the right of Imperial coun-
ty and the district to prevent the
power company from stringing
transmission lines across county
highways and district property.
Whether the commission would
take the two decisions into con-
sideration in handling the rural
electrification experiment of the
power company, was discussed wide
" by interested parties.
In the resolution passed by the
board Tuesday, it was pointed out
that canal construction has reach
ed a point where it must be de-
cided what type of drop is to be
installed in the places along the
cana lwhere there is sufficient fall
to make power sites possible.
125 Foot Fall
Present construction plans show
that the fall will be approximately
IDS feet, exclusive of Pilot Knob.
This fall will be available for
power development and has been
divided into five drops, varying
from 10 feet at No. ! drop to %
feet at No. 4, directors said. As
the power market develops, the
district intends to build power
plants at each Of the drops.
The district wishes to build the
first power plants at the sites
known as Nos. 4 and 5, because
they are the nearest to valley mar
kets for power consumption. The
other plants will follow as they
are needed.
Directors estimated that the
cost of installing these drops will
constitute a valid construction
charge against the irrigation dis
trict and will be repayable IN ac-
cordance with the terms OF the
All-American canal contract.
