Utility panel urges power sale plan for river projects
A Missouri official argues before the Public Works Committee to authorize the Interior Department to sell power from Arkansas and Louisiana flood control dams. The proposal would empower the War Department and Power Commission, require sale of power at plant sites, and extend to all flood control dams built by the Army Engineers. Private utilities support hydroelectric expansion and say it would save local governments taxes and ensure maximum returns, while preventing discrimination among customers.
