Sie 1955 estimate was 308 mil- n dollars compared to the nros- it 354 million dollars. Transmis- tljon lines would cost an addition i J 148 million. pj.locl F. Adamson, Bonneville ; fewer Administration official j tfom Portland, told the subcom IBlittee the higher construction 6-f4st estimate would not affect I M'A rates and that Hells Canyon '(.power still would be economically found. . f. 'Anderson asked whether Hells Canyon still would be feasible if i the dam were built and the gov ; eminent paid 15 million dollars - to Idaho Power Co. for work done 5 on Brownlee Dam.

Gordon Fernald, Army engineer : from Portland, Ore., testified in i reply to a statement by Rep. Ull , man (D-Orc) concerning" the V corps' review of its main control plan for the Columbia River basin. Ullman said the corps had ex cluded the middle reach of the Snake River from its review. Denying that such had been the case Fernald said the corps had given consideration to storage in Idaho Power's three proposed ; dams, since they were licensed ' by the FPC, and also to the ap , plication by Pacific Northwest Power Co. to build Mountain Sheep and Pleasant Valley Dams.
