Engineer
Blows Up On
Dam Query
WASHINGTON Wl Tile Hells
Canyon ' hearing twas enlivened
Thursday by a Reclamation Bu
reau engineer's refusal to answer
a question which, he called "ri
diculous." ,
- After stoutly defending the bu
reau's standards lor dam design
and -construction during nearly
four days of cross-examination,
Louis -Q. Euls finally balked, say
ing- "that's a ridiculous question
and requires no answer."
Puis was testifying at a Power
Commission hearing on Idaho
Power Co.'s applications to build
three1 dams in the . Snake River
between Idaho . and Oregon:, where
a public power project has been
proposed.
As R. P. Porry, Idaho Power
attorney, questioned Puis about
his designs for the federal project,
noise outside the hearing room and
hissing of the heating system
made hearing difficult:
The "ridiculous" question was
whether the Reclamation Bureau
makes a practice of excavating to
bedrock at dam sites before call
ing for bids from contractors.
Puis later gave a 10-minute
lecture upholding the bureau's
standards, which he said had been
unjustly criticized In newspapers
and magazines and which Idaho
Power witnesses have attacked.
Parry sought to bring out Thurs
day that design and construction
standards are. constantly chang
ing.
He said protects "cannot be
standardized and each develop
ment requires an Independent
design and construction method.
. . each Is custom built, tailored to
individual sites."
Puis agreed that dam structures
can't be standardized but said that
Isn't necessarily the case in con
struction of power plants.
Parry said experience gained at
the Hungry Horse project in Mon
tana caused Puis to scale down
Ills estimate of the quantity of
cement that would be required at
Hells Canyon. Puis said that was
true.
Parry said some engineers
claim a great deal of money could
have been saved In construction
of Boulder Dam In Nevada if a
straight gravity type structure had
been built instead of an arcn type
dam. Puis said he had nothing to
do with the Boulder Dam design.
