We announce the removal to our new quarters giving us 6000 feet of office space 

 laid out to our own plans. 



Our business is the investigation, financing, engineering, construction and opera- 

 tion of Hydro-Electric Developments, and Irrigation Reclamation, including secondary 

 irrigation by pumping, a feature which under right conditions and proper engineering 

 will double or treble the available area under the ditches. 



We specialize on high dams and dams on difficult foundations. Our experience is 

 based on the construction of fifty-nine dams to date.

At the present writing, Sept. 22nd, we have under construction twelve dams rang- 

 ing from 30 feet to 86 feet in height and from 450 feet to 820 feet long. Seven of 

 these dams include a large power house in the bulkhead. 



With one exception the time of construction will not exceed ten months from the 

 date of signing the contract. The largest one will require about one year. 



Send profile cross section at the site with general information as to the character of 

 foundations and banks, available material such as crushed stone, gravel and sand, dis- 

 tance from nearest railroad, etc., and we will prepare preliminary plans and estimates.
