<br />1lL." <br /> <br />-! <br />10 <br />o <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />- <br />- <br /> <br />purpose employed a public administration expert to conduct an on- <br />the-site analysis of Boulder City, complete with public hearings, <br />explanatory discussions, and many other related activities designed <br />to assist in revealing the full problem and to provide indicated solu- <br />tions. For this chore Dr. Henry Reining, a figure of unchallenged <br />preeminence in public administration circles, was selected. It does <br />not appear necessary to expound upon the details of his survey and <br />recommendations in this report, for this may all be found in his <br />report which was published as Senate Document No. 196, 8lst Con- <br />gress, 2d Session, It may be stated, however, that in general the <br />principles recommended in the Reining report have been adopted <br />as sound policy by the Secretary of the Interior as providing a basis <br />for guiding future actions in the permanent solution of the Boulder <br />City problem. <br /> <br />As to the immediate effect of the requirements of Public Law <br />841 on the financial operations of the project, it was first given <br />partial effect in the rate structure in the operating year ended <br />May 31, 1948, at which time the Bureau eliminated from the allot- <br />tees' payment obligation all payments previously made for educa- <br />tional assistance on behalf of dependents of all Federal employees <br />other than Project. Further effect was then given in the operating <br />year ended May 31, 1949, both as to investment and operating ex- <br />penses of Boulder City. In that year the power allottees were re- <br />lieved from amortization payment requirements of that portion of <br />the advances representing investments in "nonproject" facilities, <br />and in subsequent years, as follows: <br /> <br />Operating Year <br />Ended <br /> <br />Accumulative Investment Costs <br />Total Allocated to Non-Project <br /> <br />May 31, 1948 <br />May 31, 1949 <br />May 31, 1950 <br /> <br />$3,581,203.93 <br />4,632,384.21 <br />5,698,793.91 <br /> <br />$1,629,261. 99 <br />2,091,435.11 <br />2,592,443,51 <br /> <br />They were likewise relieved from paying operation and main- <br />tenance costs of related "non-nonproject" functions, allocated as <br />follows: <br /> <br />14 <br />
