Boulder Canyon dam Mojave site condemned
Arthur P. Davis former reclamation head told an American Society of Civil Engineers convention that Montgomery Swing Johnson plan would harm Needles and submerge land. Col. William Kelly urged flood storage via Mojave dam, warning it would cut irrigation and power. A US Geological Survey expert echoed, opposing Boulder Canyon as separate project and favoring Mojave irrigation dam with displacement of Needles and railroad removal.
