Idaho Faces Loss If Extension Fails For American Falls Project
Salt Lake Jan 31 AP Idaho may lose immediate development of the American Falls dam and its seven month battle against adverse economics unless Secretary of the Interior Albert B Fall secures a sixty day extension on the Idaho Power Company's plant option. The option on the government property expires today and failure to extend could restart the lengthy effort to bring the project under federal control. Fall told an Idaho delegation that he would seek a sixty day extension while legislation might alter the status. If funds are unavailable, the contract with the power company cannot be finalized and negotiations could resume later under better conditions.
