Acc Buys 10000 Acres Of Leased
Land 10 Fix Permanent Boundries

Carleton Shugg, manager of
Hanford Directed Operations of
the United States Atomic Energy
Commission, announced today the
Acc has authorized acquisition
of some 100000 acres of leased
land wholly within the present
perimeter of the Hanford pluton-
ium project, one. of its major pro-
duction facilities. ..
The land to be acquired is in
Benton county and lies west,
south and east of the Hanford pro-
duction areas. It consists largely of
marginal grazing land not suit
able for agricultural development.
There are no private industrial
operations in the area to be pur-
chased and, with only three ex-
ceptions totaling about $50 acres,
no farm or ranch operations will
be involved, Shugg said. Nom
project families have not resided
in the area to be purchased for
several years.
This acreage originally was
leased by the Army in 1943. The
Acc decision to purchase the land
is the beginning of program to
establish the permanent bound

Speaking Of the possibility of
road across McNary dam. West
explained that $20,000,000 has
been set aside to construct such
highways across major dams, but
that the law stipulates that no
one job must exceed, S2,500,OO0
in cost.
Since army engineers have esti-
mated the cost of the McNary
dam road at $500, 900, only two
courses are left open: I'd for en-
gineers to re-examine the FEAST

The miniature jet engine he is

Predicting on the basis of his
recent visit to Washington, D. c.
that the appropriation this year
for the McNary dam will be ap-
proximately SIS, ZOO, 900, West re-
vealed that efforts have been di-
rected toward a $4,000, 900 ap-
preparation.
Had the sought-for appropria-
ton been approved McNary dam
could have been completed in
1854 at an estimated cost of
1927, 600, 900.
If the construction funds are
reduced to as low q figure as
$20, 900, 900. the dam will prob
ably not be completed until 1856,
and the cost is expected to rise
to $259, 900. 900.
The higher costs will be caus-
ed, West said, by the inability Of
U. S. Army Engineers to con-
tract labor and materials in ad-
vance.
He reiterated previous state
ments tina tboth public and priv
ate power interests are now call
ing for the development Of every
possible power producing install
lation on the Columbia and
Snake rivers.
Power experts a few years
ago, West reminded his listeners
were forecasting that it would
take northwestern industry al
least so years to absorb the out
put of Grand Coulee.
Now representatives of the
same interests hold that, even
though the river system is made
to produce its ultimate in power
the Pacific Northwest will suf-
fer power shortage for anoth-
