BOULDER DAM OFFERS MUCH

Glendale, Oct. 21.- Executive
Secretary Albert Stetson of the
Boulder Dam Power Transmission
Association of Arizona addressed
the Chamber of Commerce here,
setting forth his views OF the rea-
sons why the IS per cent of the
power generated at the dam should
be used in the State. He explained
that all the indications were that
the power would be cheaper tha1
any now in use. At the dam this
power is sold by the Federal Bur-
eau of Reclamation at 1853 mills
per kilowatt hour. He said that
the rates for power used in Glen
dale, Calf, were from 40 to go
per cent cheaper than those OF
Phoenix. AS Phoenix was some 70
miles nearer to the dam than Glen
dale, he said that the rates Cor,
power in Phoenix should not be
any higher than those of Glendale.
And in Glendale, he said, it was
expected that rates would be re-
duced still lower.
Stetson said that the first thing
to be done was to ask the coming
legislature to pass an act provid-
ing for the creation of a power
commission which would make Il
study of conditions, and, if found
that it would help in the develop
ment of the State to build a trans
mission line to carry the power
from Boulder Dam across Arizona,
then to supervise such construction.
He explained that this line could
be built from the proceeds of rev
enue bonds and would not there
fore increase taxes.
Stetson said he believed the Salt
River Valley Water Users Associa-
ton could profit by the use Of
Boulder Dam power. At this time
he pointed out that the Waite"
Users were using a large part CI
their surplus to buy electric power
made by steam.
"The cheaper power will assist
in building up pump irrigation proJ-
ects, open up many small mines
that cannot operate with present
high cost power, and make possible
many manufacturing and canning
plants" he said.
