Boulder dam project compared to Bluestone in Nevada
Lawyers urge paper industry and calcium carbide output as essential to civilization. Bluestone project near Las Vegas is praised for its potential value. A dam 730 feet high on the Colorado near Black Canyon, 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas, with 4.4 million cubic yards of concrete creates a 145000 acre lake 115 miles long and initial 1,835,000 horsepower. The piece argues Boulder dam costs could have funded far more good elsewhere.
