SUMMARY SHEETS (Continued)

Since completion of the June 1959 feasibility report, the Savery-Pot
Hook construction costs have been indexed to January 1961 prices and the
irrigation benefits were reanalysed in December 1961 similar to the reanaly-
sis of the Garrison division unit, Missouri River Basin project. The
results of the price indexing and the reanalysis of benefits which were
submitted to the Bureau of the Budget on January 10, 1962 are as follows:

Pot Hook Dam and Reservoir
Savery Dam and Reservoir
Dolan Mesa Diversion Dam
Pot Hook Canal

With the revised benefits, the Savery-Pot Hook project has a benefit-
cost ratio, based upon total benefits and 100-year period of analysis of
2.76. For a 50-year period the comparable ratio is 2.15. Using direct
benefits only, the corresponding 100-year and 50-year ratios are 1.46 and
1.14, respectively.
