Big Bond Issue Authorized For Brazos Project
The Brazos river conservation and reclamation district directors authorized up to 10 million dollars in bonds to supplement 30.5 million dollars in WPA funds for 18 domes. Proceeds would buy land for reservoirs and power machinery not funded by the WPA. Estimated 1 million dollars annual revenue from operation and 309 thousand dollars annual state tax diversion would repay the 20 year bonds. About 150 thousand acres would be acquired at an average 20 dollars an acre, and power machinery would cost 2.5 million. Initial construction would begin on a dam where land was first acquired at reasonable price.
