ly mommcd the low bid for test
drilling ut the site.
Magnuson. In his announcement
here Wednesday, said his office in
Washlnglon reported the permit
' would be Issued to the PUD some
time Thursday.
The FPC decision reported by
Magnuson gives the PUD another
round In Us sklrmlsn with the
State Power Commission over
' which agency should be permitted
to build the dam.
The recent Congress gave the
PUD and the state commission
two years to apply for a license
and become eligible for possible
participation with the federal gov
ernment In lolni construction of
the hydrolectrlc project.
' Both agencies applied. The PUD
later obtained a court Injunction
barring the commission lor pro

cliuirman, advised at Tacoma of
the FPC'a reported action, de
clined comment Wednesday night.
Gov. Langlle, who has opposed
(he PUD In I Us application for a
permit, said at Seattle he was
confident tho FPC "will take all
factors into consideration before
granting the final permit."
The preliminary permit sought
by both agencies does not author
ise construction of the project. It
gives a priority on the site while
engineering atudles are made as
a preliminary to requesting a con
struction license. "
Smothers said the Salt Lake
City firm of Boyles Brothers Drill
ing Co., which was low at $207,.
('50 for testing at the dam site.
would be ordered to proceed Im
mediately with its drilling work.
