Pasco Club backs Snake River dam for irrigation
The Pasco Commercial Club urges passage of a bill by Senator Wesley L. Jones to authorize the Benton Water Co to build a Snake River dam at Five Mile rapids. Proponents claim navigation benefits, major irrigation potential for over 100000 acres in Walla Walla, Franklin and Benton counties, and new power for manufacturing. Opponents fear private control over public rights and seek safeguards under existing federal and state dam regulations. The club asks senators, commercial bodies, and individuals in the Inland Empire to lobby for swift approval.
