BOULDER DAM WINS APPROVAL OF ENGINEERS Black Canyon Recommended by Board as Best Site. L'.y United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Aboard of five engineers appointed to consider the engineering and economic feasibility of a dam on the Colorado river at Boulder, or Black canyon, reported to congress today that a dam of the type proposed by the interior department could be built across Black canyon. “It is the opinion of the board that a dam of the gravity type is suitable for the site in question, and that such a dam built across Black canyon would be safe, provided the maximum stresses allowed do not exceed those adopted in tfandwd practice,” the board said. 550-Foot Dam Suggested It is feasible from an engineering standpoint, the report said, to 2tiid a dam across the Colorado river to an elevation of 550 feet above low water. The estimated cost of the proposed dam was placed by the board at $176,000,000 for a dam structure in accordance with the plan outlined in the Swing-Johnson bill now before the senate. Safety Factors Stressed The site in the Black canyon, about forty miles from Las Vegas, Nev., was favored by the board over the proposed site at Boulder canyon. The Boulder canyon site, however, safely could be used so far as geological conditions are concerned. The board discussed engineering questions involved in construction of a dam at length and concluded that the danger from earthquakes no longer is a serious factor. The proposed dam would impound 26,000,000 acre-feet of water, and if it should fail, according to the board’s report, the flood created probbaly would destroy Needles, Topock, Parker, Blythe, Yuma and permanently destroy the levees of the imperial district. “To avoid such possibilities the dam should be constructed on conservative if not ultra-conservative lines,” the board recommended.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DELAY LAWS ON COALJNDUSTRY Watson Thinks Action to Come in Hoover Regime. By Times Special WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—Legislation to regulate the bitumir ms coal industry will be postponed until President-Elect Hoover’s administration. in the opinion of Senator Watson, Indiana, chairman of the committee which conducted the coal investigation last session. When congress adjourned in June a special sub-committee was appointed to study the evidence and to confer with operators and miners. “The committee has taken no action since congress adjourned,' 1 Senator Watson said. “There was no meeting because all of the members were engaged in the campaign. “Neither the miners or the operators have submitted new proposals since their suggestions before congress adjourned. The attitude of the operators now is the same as last spring; they don’t believe in federal-regulation and they are oppose dto our activities. Senator Watson said he will call the committee together soon to discuss the unfinished investigation and determine whether anything can be done at this session. It is his opinion, he said, that the committee will do nothing. Oldest Muncie Club to Quit By Times Special MUNCIE. Ind..
