The problem is how the total cost of a multiple-purpose dam is to be allocated among the types of beneficiaries so that each benefit is assessed a reasonable share but not overcharged, Heavy wo ee +h SHASTA DAM---And Reservoir on electric installation, operating five generators of 75,000 kilowatts capacity each The 602-feet high, two-thirds of a mile long dam, part of the U.S. Central Valley Project, is an outstanding example of a multi-purpose facility.
