In addition, it will be helpful to have this map, on page 30, which shows substantially the same information graphically that you will get in the justifications, indicating some lines completed and some lines under construction. Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. Roughly, how many substations are represented in that figure? Mr. LILIENTHAL. Thirty-nine substations. Mr. WOODRUM. Those lines are going out from the dams and between the dams into municipalities, and all that kind of thing? Mr. LILIENTHAL. And to industries. POWER FROM WILSON, NORRIS, AND WHEELER DAMS Mr. WOODRUM. What dams are generating power now? Mr. LILIENTHAL. The Wilson Dam, the Norris Dam, and the Wheeler Dam are. Mr. WOODRUM. Those three dams are now in operation and generating power? Mr. LILIENTHAL. Yes. Mr. WOODRUM. How much? Mr. LILIENTHAL. We can supply you with a statement showing the amount of power generated month by month during the last year. Mr. WOODRUM. I think that will be a good idea, if it is not too much in detail. Give us now a brief general statement about it, and then you can put that statement in the record. Mr. LILIENTHAL. For the fiscal year 1936 there has been a total of 467,696,320 kilowatt hours. Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. For which dams? Mr. LILIENTHAL. For all dams. That included practically, however, only the Wilson Dam, because the Norris Dam and the Wheeler Dam did not come into operation until after the close of the fiscal year 1936. Of that amount 437,450,698 kilowatts hours were sold. There were certain losses, of course. During that year there was a total revenue, including interdepartmental uses, that is, Government uses, at the prevailing rate, of $1,197,992.37. Mr. TABER. That is during the fiscal year 1936? Mr. LILIENTHAL. Yes. Then for the fiscal year 1937 we have the total for 8 months. During these 8 months the Norris Dam and the Wheeler Dam were in operation for a part of the time. So, with the Norris Dam, the Wilson Dam, and the Wheeler Dam as the substantial sources of this generation, the gross amount was 689,343,800 kilowatt-hours. Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. How is that divided? Mr. LILIENTHAL. For the Wilson Dam there was 572,452,200; for the Norris Dam there was approximately 92,000,000, and for the Wheeler Dam approximately 25,000,000. Mr. LUDLOW. Is that for 8 months? Mr. LILIENTHAL. Yes; that is for 8 months. Mr. LILIENTHAL. Of this fiscal year. Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. Is that a fair reflection of the capacity of those three plants? Mr. LILIENTHAL. No. Mr. TABER. How much did you sell in that period? Mr. LILIENTHAL. Of that amount roughly 651,198,796 kilowatthours were sold. The total revenue during that period from all sources was $6,351,109. Mr. WIGGLESWORTH. You say that is not a fair reflection because it is not the maximum capacity of any one of them? Mr. LILIENTHAL. No. The Wheeler Dam has been on a relatively short time. I do not believe both generators have ever been on. second is being tested. The The Norris Dam has been on a relatively short time and has not been operating to capacity.
