"It is said that there is mil
lion dollar business done annually
here in electric power" Dowd said.
"This shows that it is both advis-
able and feasible that the district
perform the task and keep the
profits at home.
"Since we started service at
BraWley, we have reduced rates
considerably under what they were
formerly. Of course the local comp
any met our rates, but the very
fact that we brought about reduc-
ton shows what can be expected
in the way of savings to the pub
lie of large sums annually"
Dowd stressed that water will be
pouring over the various drops in
the canal, and the potential power
will be wasted if not used to gen.
crate electrical energy.

draw Italian troops from Spain,

months ago II Duce defied the
world powers who tried to prevent
his conquest of Ethiopia-and how
he succeeded
The alignment of European ma
tions into two hostile groups-Fas-
cist and Communist-stood out in
threatening proportions tonight as
rapid developments in half dozen
capitals served to spread the great
est war scare since 1918. They
were:
!. Italy's announcement that if
France appeals to the League of
Nations, Europe will be close to
armed conflict and Italy will re-
fuse to participate IN any Geneva
discussions of Italian volunteers
even under the menace of interna-
tional military sanctions.
2. Frances proposal tor a virtual
naval blockade of war-torn Spain
to check the flow of munitions and
volunteers.
3. Britain's unwillingness to join
the French scheme because she will
not risk war with Italy and Ger
many in order to make neutrality
effective.
4. German newspapers support of
Italy following Russia's charges be-
fore the international non-inter-
vention committee that Mussolini
is wantonly violating his neutrality
