The interchauge, which is to be accomplished without in- <br />creasing the District's costs, wiil tend to increase the firm power <br />output of Bonlder Dam, provide additional sources of power for <br />supplying the District's load and will facilitate the disposal of the <br />District's unnsed firm energy. <br />The District's aliotment, 35.2517% of the firm energy, amounts <br />to 1,514,000,000 kwhr for the Boulder year of operation ending <br />May 31, 1942, which is sufficient to pump approximately 1000 scc- <br />ond feet continuous flow in the Aqueduct. Present forecasts of <br />water requirements indicate that this quantity wili not be needed <br />until 1965. In the meantime a block of firm energy within the <br />District's allotment will be available for resale by the Secretary of <br />the Interior for the credit of the District. Resales of unused Dis- <br />trict energy prior to June 1, 1941, were as follows: <br /> <br />UNUSED ENEI1GY IN KWlInS. <br /> <br />OPERATING Y["Hl <br />I 93B.39 <br />39.40 <br />40-41 <br /> <br />TOTAl. <br /> <br />R~SALES <br /> <br />726,111,121 <br />811,374,789 <br />1,125,307,049 <br /> <br />13,386,300 <br />760,568,148 <br />442,923,633 <br /> <br />Delivery of power for distribution in the vicinity of Parker, <br />Arizona, was commenced April 30, 1941, under a memoraudum of <br />interbureau nnderstanding, dated September 14, 1940, betwecn <br />the U.
