GIVEN PRESIDENT
System of Measuring Power
Production Costs Is
Announced.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Tennessee Valley Authority has
completed its first step in establishing
a "yardstick" to measure power pro-
duction costs.
Chairman Harcourt A. Morgan re-
ported the findings to President Roose-
welt in a letter made public last night.
The cost of three completed dams
Wilson, Norris and Wheeler-was
placed at ss4,125,67l, Of which So per
cent was charged against electricity
production, % per cent for navigation
and 20 per cent for flood control.
The T. v. A. Committee on Finan-
eial Policy made the study. 1t charged
nothing against national defense,
terming it impracticable to allocate.
during peacetime, any portion of the
Investments wartime value.
Fertilizer operations also were ex-
empted because they were being
charged for services rendered by vari-
Gus departments of T. v. A.
Total Expenditures.
DR.. Morgan reported that of the
total expenditures, s63,482,506 was
common to the three major purposes.
The report allocated $25, ,393,002 to
power. $22,2l8,877 to navigation and
$l5,870.627 to flood control.
The total of s30,643,165 in ."single
purpose" expenditures was divided
thusly: $23,967,177 for power, $4,075.-
9ss for navigation and $2,600,0O0 for
food control.
The chairman said T. v. A. engi-
neers estimated, ION basis which ap-
pears reasonable to u.s." that power
revenues from the three completed
projects would cover all costs of opera
tion. return per cent on the invest
ment in power, and lin addition, re-
turn in 80 years the entire investment
ailocated to navigation and flood con-
troll"
Dr. Morgan pointed out that ''sev-
eral functions contributing to the pub
lie welfare have been successfully COM
bined in single structures" In that
combination, he said, lay the basic
economy of unified development of
watersheds" He added:
Benefits Cited.
For example, Norris Dam in a sin
gle season has been useful in holding
back flood waters with substantial
benefits along the Tennessee River, the
Ohio and the Mississippi; releasing
stored water in the dry season to in
crease the channel depth for naviga-
ton. and releasing water through tur-
bines for the generation of electricity"
He explained, also. that the figures
given were only for the present system
and that further ALLEGATIONS would be
made as more dams were built. The
entire program contemplates 10 prof.
ects
The Policy Committee said it studied
carefully "a number of theories Of cost
ALLEGATION" in preparing its method.
which it termed based on judgment
and not on any one ALLEGATION theory"
