The work should bo provided for and carried out -as were these other two national pro jects by direct appropriations,!' declared General Goethals.4 Because of Its larger area. greater assurance and reliability of operation and its smaller per acre cost. General Goethals advis ed adoption ot the gravity system.

Maintenance Cost Small The Columbia river project, ac cording to the report would irrt. gate only 1,403.000 acres at a to- tol cost of $223,096,943 to $341,. 487,258 depending upon the type of proposed dam construction or a per acre cost of $159.01 to $172.12, 'The annual operation and maintenance under the gravity system is estimated at 48 cenls per acre as against $1.56 to $1.86 per acre, under the pumping pro ject, the report says. The report calls attention to many engineering difficulties to be met with in lifting water 15 feet by means ot the Columbia river dam and pumping plant. 'The reliability and simplicity of a direct gravity flow of, water are immeasurably superior to the complexity of operating a 'power and Pumping plant 'with a large number, of. turbines and pumps which would 1 be stressed higher than any existing equipment of equal capacity," saya General Goethals. , .

The gravity project so far as power . possibilities are con cerned, is therefore the better. "In development of one-half the area, or 880,000'acres, would cost $170.04 per acre.. .
