 in industries The government has p1
 chased practically all the water power i
 the country, which is enormous. ncludnl the Trolhattan Falls, and is developn {, them as fast as. possible, and furnishing electricity to private firms at very low rates. It's power stations are built with out dshgurlng the falls.
