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.
