<br />o 0 13 ~Jlt <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />recognized by all interests, It seems plain that in the <br /> <br /> <br />absence of some unfcreseen calamity the Boulder Canyon <br /> <br /> <br />falling water .rill, during the amortization period, easily <br /> <br /> <br />pay cff the oost of that great project. While tmder the <br /> <br /> <br />oontracts between the Secretary of the Interior and the <br /> <br /> <br />allottees of power in Califcrnia there has been allotted <br /> <br /> <br />to Arizona 18% of the power, this allotment has been so <br /> <br /> <br />surrotmded by safeguards in favor of the allottees that it <br /> <br /> <br />is possible Arizona may seoure but little benefit from this <br /> <br /> <br />allooation. That this may beoome true is partioularly <br /> <br /> <br />shown by the faot that at the time the Seoretary made a oall <br /> <br /> <br />for bids to oontraot the power generated at the Boulder <br /> <br /> <br />Dam, offers immediately o!llle for more than three times the <br /> <br /> <br />power that oould be generated there. Thus it Oan be easily <br /> <br /> <br />seen that Arizona oan seoure her allotment only when the <br /> <br /> <br />safeguards oreated by oontraot and by regulation have been <br /> <br /> <br />slowly and laboriously eradicated. <br /> <br /> <br />While no satisfaotory survey is now available to <br /> <br /> <br />us showing oommeroially the uses to whioh power from the pro- <br /> <br /> <br />posed dam oould be applied, we know as a matter of faot that <br /> <br /> <br />the surface waters of this ste:!; e are in faot over-developed, <br /> <br /> <br />and that all future agrioultural developments must depend <br /> <br /> <br />entirely upon oheap power. We further know as a matter of <br /> <br /> <br />faot that the potential possibilities for the use of power <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />i' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />16. <br />
