Page 2A Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., Thurs., Oct. 13, 1949 Southwestern Oregon Gains $9 Million in BPA Appropriations WJ. WJ. erve review. Projects are' Spokane substation ! 550; McNary-La G Interior Bill Approved By Al Currey Bonneville power administra tion appropriations of $46,524,000 for the 1949-50 fiscal year were made available Wednesday when President Truman signed the In terior Department's annual ap propriations bill. This action, Bonneville Admini strator Paul j. Haver said Thurs day, assures continued progress in constructing transmission facili ties to most critical power deficit areas of the Pacific Northwest. In Southwestern Oreton, the appropriations will cover pro jects Involving more than $9,000,000 in cash and contract authorities. The breakdown on the total budget for the BPA Includes cash appropriations of $30,284,500 with $26,284,500 oarmaiked for con struction, plus $4,000,000 for op eration and maintenance, Dr. Raver announced. An additional $16,239,500 is provided in contract authoriza tion. Although the total funds are $5,000,000 short of the original re quest made by President Truman for the BPA, they represent an increase of about $6,000,000 over appropriations for the past fiscal year. "New authority to deal with current power emergencies is pro- vided by an increase in funds available for force account work from 8 to 12 per cent, and by allowance of adjustments in alio cations to meet changed operating conditions," Dr. Raver noted. He termed these provisions of parti cular importance. Cash appropriations and con- tract authorizations to be utilized In Southwestern Oregon will be primarily for extension of trans mission lines to coastal areas and for transmission faculties neces sary to bring more Columbia River power to this entire sec tion of Oregon. A lion's share of the funds for this part of the state will go to back construction of the Golden dale-Detroit-Goshen 230 kllovolt transmission line and the Goshen substation. The 230 kv. line will bring in power from McNary and Detroit Dams after they are com pleted and also will make avail able portions of the huge amounts of energy generated at Grand Cou lee Dam, The Goshen substation will be a Irey in the distribution of power throughout Southwestern Oregon and will be the second largest fa cility of its kind in Oregon. The 1049-50 cash and contract authority provisions for BPA pro jects In this state are: Columbia River power available 1 eastern and western areas of the Grana w-)-' southwest Washington, Additions, $1,888,850. ior ma mausmai neve nnmpnt loiuitidui casin. .emu o - .
