Bonneville Power Rates To
Be Discussed At Meeting

Bonneville power will be produced
at one of the lowest costs in AM
erica, j. D. Ross predicted today.
After analysing the figures of the
federal power commission, the ao-
ministrator of the dam said the
completed cost of construction
would be approximately $83 per
kiloWatt of installation. "This is an
excellent construction cost" he
said, land will give a very low rate
at the start, and much lower rates
as the work progresses and rev
enues come in"
The finished dam will cost STA
044,6OO. Of this amount the federal
power commission has allocated
$42,181, ITS to power. Ross expressed
his satisfaction with the commits
sion's finding, and said, "There will
be those who expected a lower cost
to power on the ground that many
of the great works of the govern
ment were emergency projects for
the purpose of giving employment.
There will be others, enemies of
the great government plants, who
will claim the ALLEGATION for power
is too small. These criticisms will
be made no matter how much is
allocated to power. After all, Bon
neville is primarily a navigation
project. And as such it's total cost
is small indeed compared to the
benefits it will bring to the Colum-
bia river BASIN"
Mi. Ross pointed out that the
federal power commission had al
located all the cost of the power
house and power machinery to the
hydroelectric development eXclus-
lively The cost of the lock is al
located to navigation exclusively.
The fishways will be borne by both.
The joint facilities will be divided
between navigation and power, the
latter bearing 321a per cent of the
joint COST
At the present time only 86,400
kilowatts of capacity are available,
and the commission has set SILL
682, 400 as the power ALLEGATION. Re-
quests for energy principally from
public districts are greatly in ex-
cess of available power, and two
new generators with an additional
capacity of 100000 kilowatts have
been asked for. Nearly two years
will be required for construction
and installation of two new ma,

IF YOU have read Damon

You may think it improbable and
incongruous that four corpses could
rouse you to such hilarity, but these
