Plans for the partial development of power house No. iin San Francisquito canon are now ready for the construc-tion department. Contracts have been let to the Union IronWorks and the Westinghouse Company for machinery to cost$300,000 with delivery to be completed by January ist, whenthe buildings will be ready to receive it. This plant willhave a capacity of 37,500 horse-power and is scheduled tobe complete and ready for operation in April of 1913.

Irrigation, the last subject to be discussed, is secondonly to power development from a financial standpoint. Itmust be kept firml
