DIX A: FACTOR IN PROBLEM
Question Gives Promise of Being
One of the Most Important
Issues of the Legisla-
tive Session.
LBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. J

Albany, Jan. 6-Jndcations are that a
battle royal will be fought this winter be-
tween the water power interests and the
conservationists over the question OF state
ownership of water power sites and com
pensauon to the state for power thus de-
veroped. Governor Dlx's proposition 70
abolish the State Water Supply Commits
l'sion and transfer its duties in some fashion
| to the Forest, Fish and Game Department
has brought the whole matter sharply TO
| the front.
| What this means 10 the average citizen
is apparent from the fact that It is esti-
mated that enough power can be developed
on the Hudson River alone for light and
manufacturing purposes for all the cities
along its banks. including greater New
York. Under state control. therefore, the
small manufacturer or the householder
would have an opportunity to buy MS
power as cheapy as the biggest competitor
The importance OF this subject, with the
bilities of revenue Of millions OF dol
lars annually to the state. hardly can be
overestimated It gives promise OF being
one OF the big issues of the legislative
session. overshadowing many OF the other
date moment
Governor Dix himself will be a most I'M
portant factor in the solution Of the prob
lem. Already both sides are endeavoring
70 get his ear Representatives OF the
power company in this city have been
sw'arning around the Capitol for many
days. Word comes from the north country
that up there the power interests are say
ffng that Governor Dix knows their prob
lens and sympathizes with them, and
they will get this year the legislation
they have failed to obtain In other years
Conservationists and representatives OF
bodies like the New York Board of Trade
and Transportation and the Society for the
Preservation Of the Adirondacks, alarmed
at this talk, are trying TO get their views
on state ownership of water powers before
the Governor. -.
