Jerusalem (U.P): Operations are nearing completion on the famous scheme for the utilisation of the water resources of Palestine for irrigation and power. The con- cession granted to Pinkas Ruten- berg was for the exploitation of all water resources, but for the present the Palestina Electric Corporation is preparing to use only the difference of levels of 50 metres on the Jordan River, between Lake. Tiberias, or the Ses of Galilee, and a place called Jiser-el-Mujemích. "
At this point in Transjordan territory, where the Zionist articles in the Palestine. Mandate do not apply, a large camp has been built for the hundreds of workers ca- gaged in building the First Jordan Power House.
