PWA Sets Aside Wisconsin Hydroelectric Plan
PWA Administrator Ickes discarded Wisconsin's $26 million hydroelectric proposal in favor of 114 smaller developments and warned of similar action elsewhere. The Wisconsin list totals 25.8 million in estimated construction, with 11.6 million in grants authorized and 8.5 million granted locally. The move followed a request for local choices from Governor La Follette and aims to spread funds across the state rather than fund a single hydro plant.
