Operations and results during fiscal year.-The operations during the fiscal year, together with costs and expenditures for those projects on which plans were in preparation or on which construction had been initiated, are shown in following individual reports. In addition to the work so detailed, further studies were made of alternate reservoirs in the Republican River Basin. Costs and expenditures during the fiscal year were $599.11 and $662.52, respectively, all from regular funds. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The condition of the projects discussed in individual reports is given in those reports. Special engineering studies in connection with the comprehensive plan were in progress. The total costs and expenditures to June 30, 1945, all for new work, and exclusive of the costs and expenditures for projects discussed in individual reports, were $55,528.18 and $55,516.25, respectively. Proposed operations. The unexpended balance of $483.75 will be applied during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1946, to the liquidation of accounts payable of $11.93 and to further investigations in connection with the comprehensive plan. Additional funds in the amount of $100,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1947 for investigations and studies in connection with the comprehensive plan.

ARLINGTON RESERVOIR, MISSOURI RIVER BASIN, MO. Location. The proposed dam site for the Arlington Reservoir is located on the main stem of the Gasconade River, approximately 107 miles above the mouth of the stream, in Phelps County, Mo. The site is about 10 miles west and south of Rolla, Mo., and 45 miles south and east of Jefferson City, Mo., near Arlington, Mo.
