Norris pushes Great Falls power plan amid water bill vote
Senator Norris of Nebraska nearly attached his Great Falls power development amendment to the Shields water power bill. The measure failed 30 to 1 with 28 against the proposition. The plan would fund a $15,000,000 project under War Department supervision, with separate accounts for water supply and power development costs and a revenue arrangement charging half the increased water supply costs to the District of Columbia. The amendment’s eight supporting lawmakers and named opponents are noted in the roll call.
