Register, Spokane, Washington. application hold for rejection. Sir: Reference is had to the application of the City of Port Townsend, Spokane 017020 file under the act of February 1, 1905 (33 Stat. 628), for right of way for a water pipe line from a point in Sec. 31, T. 27 N., R. 2 Vt., and extending north to a point in Sec. 4, T. 27 N., R. 2 W., W. M., Washington. This application affects lands withdrawn for powersite purposes under Powersite Class ificatlon No. 177 approved April 18, 1927. The Geological Survey under date of July 8, 1931 submitted through the Federal Power Commission its report on the application, the pertinent part of which reads as follows: it The proposed pipe line will divert water from Quilcene River at an elevation of 1,051 feet above sea level. Part of this head will be used in losses in the pipe between the point of diversion and Port Townsend and some will be required to supply pressure for distribution, but considerable head would remain for power purposes if the city should de- cide to use it. * * *11. "The domestic requirements of Port Townsend would be comparatively small and would not seriously interfere with power development but it is possible the water will be used to supply paper mills or other large users. The proposed 30 inch pipe also indicates a pro- bable large use of water. In case the requirements of Port 'Townsend are considerable it may pay them to develop the power which is incidental to the water supply. As domestic water supply is a higher use than the development of water power the application should be granted but with a stipulation that in case the city desires to develop the potential power ofthe site it will apply to the Federal Power Commission for a license.11 Under date of January 9, 1933, the Federal Power Commission submitted its report in which it is stated that the Commission determines "That the proposed use is the higher use but the value of said powersite land will not be injured or destroyed for the purpose of power development by location of the proposed pipe line, subject to the provisions of Sec. 24 of the Federal Water Power Act. "Therefore, the Commission consents to its location as applied for, sub,+ect to the provisions of Sec. 24 of the Federal eater Power Act and to the stipulation that in case the City desires to develop the potential power of the site, it will first apply for and receive from the Federal Power Commission a license.11 Accordinly, the applicant will be required to file duly executed stipulations agree- ing to take the grant, if and when made, subject to the provisions, conditions and limita- tions of Sec. 24 of the Federal 'dater Power Act of June 10, 1920 (41 Stat. 1063); further, that it expressly agrees that in the event it desires to develop the potential power of the site it will first apply for and obtain a license from the Federal Power Commission. The applicant will be allowed 30 days from receipt of notice hereof within which to comply with said requirements or to appeal, failing in which the application which is hereby held for rejection will be rejected without further notice from this office. A carbon copy hereof is inclosed for service. In due time submit your report with evidence of service. Very respectfully, 1-13-EELi (Sgd) THOS. C. HAVELL Acting Commissioner. Re: Serial 017020.
