S. Sands <br /> <br />Power systems in Northern Colorado, Wyoming, and Western <br /> <br />Nebraska are tributary to the project and are in the main inter- <br /> <br />connected. Drawing No. 9324 shows the principal power systems of this <br /> <br />territory. The systems of the U. S. BureaU of Reclamation are shown in <br /> <br />red. The projected plants proposed to be constructed by that agency <br /> <br />are shown in open red symbols, and the proposed "ansmission lines are <br /> <br />~hown by dotted red lines. <br /> <br />It will be noted from the drawinG that a transmission line be- <br /> <br />tween Leadville and Salida is proposed to connect the Central System of <br /> <br />the Public Service Company of Colorado with its Alamosa-Salida system. <br /> <br />Another line is proposed between Fort Garland and La Veta to connect <br /> <br />the Alamosa-Salida line with the ,system of the Trinidad Electric Trans- <br /> <br />mission Railway and Gas Company. Although by these proposed connections <br /> <br />the So.lida-Alamoso. and Trinidad territories, together with a portion of <br /> <br />northern New Mexico, will become tributary to the projoct plants, yet <br /> <br />it is doubtful whether an.y power wi11 be actually delivered by the pro- <br /> <br />ject to these outlying systems. They are, thorefore, not considered <br /> <br />further in this report. <br /> <br />The data for the compilation of this rJport were obtained <br /> <br />from questionn~iros submittod to all tho systems involved in the de- <br /> <br />scribed territory. These qucstion~aires called or actual kilowatt- <br /> <br />heur and peak data up to December 1, 1941 and an estimate of the kilo- <br /> <br />watt-hours and peaks for tha rnnth of December, thus bringing the <br />
