<br />Broadcasting System. The Gene reservoir was filled and Gene
<br />pumps were started on January 26, 1939. Copper Basin reservoir
<br />was filled, and on March 13th Colorado River water was released
<br />into Whipple Mountain tunnel. The Iron Mountain pumps began
<br />operating on April 5th, those at Eagle Mountain on April 10th, and
<br />Hayfield, the fifth and last lift, on July 25, 1939. First Colorado
<br />River water flowed f,'om Valverde tunnel into the Cajalco basin on
<br />November 2, 1939.
<br />The project is now approaching the position of ability to deliver
<br />water to cities within the District. It is possible to forecast quite
<br />closely the cost of the initial development contemplated when bonds
<br />were voted September 29, 1931. The following tabulation compares
<br />the present estimate of cost with that published in July 1931, prio,'
<br />to the bond election. It also gives the present estimate of cost of
<br />the deferred items to complete the project to its full ultimate capa-
<br />city of 1,500 cubic feet per second.

<br />The Pl'esent estimate of initial cost, including provision for two
<br />more pump units in each pumping plant, and additional distribution
<br />system lines, shows a saving of approximately $20,000,000 in the
<br />construction of this first development. What at this time are COIl-
<br />sidered conservative estimates of the cost of the deferred items,
