RequestedFor Power LineAn appropriation of $3,300,000 has been asked by President Kennedy to start construction of a power line from Noxon to Hot Springs to eventually serve a new steel plant to be built at Anaconda. The line would be built by the Bonneville Power Administration which has a contract with Gulf States Land and Industries, Inc. to supply power for the steel plant.Gulf States, a subsidiary of Webb and Knapp, Inc., proposes to use huge slag piles in the Anaconda areas as the source of its iron ore supply. It is estimated there is sufficient iron content in the slag to keep the steel mill in operation for 50 years.A survey for the new power line was completed last winter by an Indiana engineering firm, which had its field headquarters here. George Long of Seattle was in charge of the survey.David E. Bell, director of the Budget Bureau, said in a letter to Kennedy the contract for power service to the steel plant “has recently been confirmed and construction of facilities should now be commenced to permit initiation of power delivery in 1963.”oadstlii1lt;ePfengn1lt;EtIt1ae1tccctIftI(sf
