<br />The use of energy purchased by the District from Hoover Dam is
<br />restricted to pumping Colorado River water into and in the aque-
<br />duct, but the energy can be taken as required to meet the pumping
<br />load. Parker energy may be used for any District purpose,
<br />The contract for purchase of power from Hoover Dam under the
<br />Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act imposes on the District the
<br />obligation to pay the annual cost of operation and maintenance of
<br />the generating equipment installed at the District's request together
<br />with annuities to provide for replacement of such equipment and
<br />to amortize its cost within a period of 50 years after its installation.
<br />with interest at 3 per cent per annum. The District is also obligated
<br />to pay. at rates fixed annually by the Secretary of the Interior, for
<br />all of its allotment of firm energy whether used or not. The obliga-
<br />tion to pay for unused energy was a heavy financial burden on the
<br />District for several years but contracts made with the City of Los
<br />Angeles and four private power companies have eliminated all cost
<br />for unused energy reserved for District use subsequent to May
<br />31, 1947.
<br />Table 3 shows in kilowatthours for the years of operation from
<br />1938 to 1949 the obligation of the District to pay for Hoover firm
<br />energy, the amount of energy used hy the District. resold for the
<br />credit of the District. and that remaining unused and not resold,
