Pcopie Are Interested.

The people of the State of Maine are
Interested in the development of their
own State and desire 20 see its various
Industries advanced. It's water powers
are one OF It's greatest assets. The Board
of Trade of the City of Augusta, as Well
as similar organizations for the balance
of the state. are vitality Interested in The
material advancement OF their state. II
is believed that in future years when
our State has developed it's innumerable
lakes as storage reservoirs, and its
water power privileges to their utmost
capacities, Maine will be unsurpassed by
any other state in horsepower developed
in other words that Its potential water
power places Maine alongside Of New
York.
Whatever policy tire STATE may adopt
fer the conservat lion of It's water power
let there be no unnecessary hamperlng al
water power developments but let tie
public in on the ground floor At the start
for the public must first grant the power
and for all time the public will be the
party chiefly Interested in it's use.
Al the present time there is increasing
concentration in private hands OF wate4
power developments. la many cases
such concentration. if it is accomplished
by fair means, is of economic advantag e
and is true conservation of power II
this movement cannot be stopped and il
1t is not desirable to stop it. We must be
prepared To control il. The entire quas-
ton is one of paramount Interest at the
present moment and a fun discussion oil
cred. Tile entire subject is al present IN
a formative stage, and methods of pro-
cedure, policies. and ideas have not set
thoroughly crystalized. Ii is a matter
for discussion and consideration by many
minds.

New York's Advanced Stand.

The State of New York has taken an adj

and plans are there maturing for a bond
voted to the construction by the state of
Storage reservoirs the operation costs
and ultimately the entire expenditures to
be assessed against the water power
users below benefited therefrom. In re-
cent charters granted by the legislature
of Maine, to certain water storage and
water power companies. provision has
been made for the taking over by the
state of the properties of such companies
if at any time the State by appropriate
legislation. decides to do so. 1t is be-
ieved at the present time that the State
of Maine has not yet reached that stage
of development when it would be wise to
adopt such a policy. Development of
our water powers is progressing and the
State SHOULD encourage every effort in
this direction. but, and let me emphasize
not to the detriment OF its present or flu
ture public interest

was drafted from the view point of an

of the legal fraternity. 1t is understood
however. that at the time set for the
hearing before the Legal Affairs commit

neys of the State were prepared to dis
cuss ii and ! presume il would have been
pretty well torn apart The ball, how
ture without discussion. The important
provisions We're entirely new as far as
legislation affecting the State of Maine
was concerned, but there We're no ideas

state or another. including New York
