PUBLIC POWER BANNED UNDER
Canyon Ferry Protection Whom?
BY ROSCOE FLEMING, Denver Post

BY ROSCOE FLEMING, Denver Post
This Canyon Ferry business in Montana
smells like used fish
If it indeed previews a Republican con-
gress policy on public power, it means that
a Republican national administration might
strip the American people of billions of dol
lars worth of public-power projects for which
they are now paying, and turn these projects
over to the private power trust for its profit
not the public service. If that happens you
might just as we'll fold up our west It's big
chance for progress would be gone
For background? Montana is our most
colcnized state, dominated by the "Mon-
tana Twins" Anaconda Copper and Mon
tans Power. ct has lost population stead
lily for thirty years. Is there a connec-
tion?)
Montana Power company owns power
dams it built long ago in the Missouri river.
1t regards itself as the rivers owner, a sit
uation unbelievable to Coloradans. In one
instance an established irrigation project
went back to desert, because its water was
turned off. The attorney general says the
company is a "trespasser," but no final YER
dict has been reached
For years the u. S. Bureau of Reclamation
has planned a big dam at Canyon Ferry,
below the power company's private dam.
This new dam would irrigate some land and
generate about 10000 horsepower. But its
chief function would be to regulate the flow
of the river, and thus enable Montana Power
company to generate more firm power, and
thus increase its profits. This dam would
cost an estimated Is million dollars of our
money, yours and mine.
Far from being satisfied with the big
bargain, Montana Power company has
contended that any public-power> genera
ton at all would be "communistic' Act
ually it would help to break the company's
monopoly, and would allow farmers REA's
ETC., to get public power without paying
Montana Power company's monopoly
charges.

 Expansion in Juneau

Juneau's civic leaders are vast ing no time or effort in attempt ing to make it possible for the U. s. Coast Guard to locate its pro- posed l7th District Headquarters here if the district should be rees- tablished. A meeting was held last night by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at which ways and means were discussed for furnish ing necessary office space for the Coast Guard and, also, several oth- CT Federal agencies which might want to come here.
 The group, consisting of promin- 'ent businessmen, discussed two pro- posals which they will investigate further before offering them to the Coast Guard. One would be to convert downtown hotel build ing as an office building. It is es- timated that such a project would require little effort or inconven- lCIlCt Dul WOulu Siiy DS oDiS 'o house the Coast Guard.
 The other proposal would be to construct a new $650,000 office building in the downtown area This building would be constructed to meet exactly the specifications of the Coast Guard and other agencies. It would be tailored tt , their needs.
 Both ideas are still in the taii stage and will be discussed ane investigated completely before any concrete proposals are offered tt the Coast Guard or other agencies Several public-spirited local busi nessmen are participating and hav' volunteered to lend financial assist. ance.
 Also under discussion was tn, need for additional rental housing Members of the group will look in. to this matter in order to lesser the present and increasing hous. ing shortage.
