The bureau spent 23,631,427 for cement, steel and machinery, materials that actually went into the dam. It paid another 5,500,000 for transporting these materials from the cities of their manufacture to the dam site.

Six Companies Inc. has listed firms in 47 cities from which materials, equipment and services were purchased amounting in each case to more than 50,000 between February, 1931, and February, 1935. These orders ranged upward to 1,500,000 and totaled 11,446,000. They include dynamite, rope, cable, trucks, tires, gasoline and other items. While these figures do not include small purchases made by the dam contractor, nor purchases made by other contractors and subcontractors on the job, the report explained, they total 62,577,427 or more than half of the 108,800,000 that will be required to bring the dam and its power plants to completion. Labor Calculated During the 50 months, from March, 1931, to April, 1935, inclusive, when the principal work of building the dam itself was done, a total of 183,060 man hours of labor was provided at the site of construction. The bureau estimates that 1.8 men are provided work off the site for every man working on the dam proper. On the basis of this estimate, 329,517 man months of work was provided by Doulder dam construction.

SHE WAS THE FIRST WOMAN TO FLY SOLO ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND MADE THE FIRST SOLO FLIGHT FROM HAWAII TO THE U.S.A SHE CLAIMED PUBLIC ATTENTION AS THE FIRST WOMAN PASSENGER TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC IN AN AIRPLANE. PILOTED BY WILMER STULTZ SHE FLEW FROM NEWFOUNDLAND TO WALES ON JUNE 17TH, 1928 IN A TRlMOTORED SEAPLANE. LIKE LINDBERGH SHE FLIES ALONE AND HAS SEEN A GOOD PORTION OF THE WORLD FROM THE AIR. On June 17, 1928, the trimotored Fokker monoplane Friendship, equipped with pontoons, left Newfoundland with Amelia Earhart as a passenger and Wilmer Stultz at the controls. Louis Gordon, mechanic, was the third member of the party. Twenty hours and 40 minutes later, after a magnificent piece of navigation, Stultz brought his plane down at Burry Point, Wales. The flight had no significance except that the first woman passenger to fly the Atlantic was aboard The flight did, however, bring Amelia Earhart into the spotlight, and since that day she has earned the title of the foremost woman pilot of the world. Like Lindbergh, she flies alone, and all of her record flights have been made in the same type of ship. She now holds a long line of firsts for women pilots: first to fly the Atlantic as a passenger; first to fly it solo; first to fly solo from Hawaii to San Francisco, to Mexico City and New York. She holds the womans transcontinental speed record, also a solo flight.
