This proposal, of necessity, was predicated on the existence <br />of a Federal transmission system to permit part of the output to be <br />delivered in Arizona by replacement and otherwise. An REA loan has <br />now been secured for a part of the cost of this plant and private <br />financing has been arranged for the rest. Construction is expected <br />to proceed in the near future. With thermal power introduced in this <br />area it is possible not only to eliminate certain parts of the pro- <br />posed all-Federal system but without additional lines, delivery of up <br />to 600 megawatts in Arizona. The result of this consumer-owned thermal <br />plant will be to increase net revenues to the Bureau by an estimated <br />$2.5 million per year. These additional net revenues will result from <br />savings in initial investment in the transmission lOsses and increased <br />revenues to the Bureau thr'Jugh collection of transmission charges. <br /> <br />("ftcu-. wa-6 :the SecJte.talty 0 (, :the T ntel1.ioM dec.-U.ion COl'lceJr.n.&tg cow,:tlUJ.ction <br />of, :tJt.Cl.w,Yt"w.6..[on R..i.ne-6 COIl the 6.tve-Ma:te Co.f..OJt.ado Rivelt s':toJt.age FJt.ojec;t? <br /> <br />As a result of subsequent negotiations with the private-utilities the <br />Secretary of the Interior, Stewart L.
