The public can either develop and op-
crate the sites, selling the energy at
market rates, or the public may lease the
sites at rental fairly representing It's

the rental system.
The water power OF the country, de-
veloped and practically capable OF de-
velopment at this time probably does not
exceed 25.000 900 horsepower Mr., Smith
says. The total developed water power
today is about 5000, 600 0-horse power. The
total stationary power used in the United
States, steam. water and gas, is probably
over 80 900, ooO-horse power.
The bureau of corporations, in It's in
vestigations, found concentration Of water
powers, according to the report. in three
distinct phases First there was a CEN
trallzatlon of control in each important
locality. secondly. large interests influ

and finally there was found growing re
