IMPORTANT QUESTION
BEFORE COMMISSION

The National Conservation
Commission has just made pub
lie the first of the schedules on
which the inventory of the coun-
try's natural resources is being
conducted. Perhaps the great
est form of waste brought out
in the entire schedule is that re-
lating to water power. Two of
the official inquiries are as fol-
lows: Are existing developed
water powers put to their full
use?" To what extent can coal
be saved by the substitution of
water power?"
Under the head FLOOD waters
the Commission enquiries to
what extent are flood waters
wasted?"
