STATE SURRENDERS
RIGHT TO CONTROL
WATER POWER SITE
O'Neal Compares Policy of
New York and Alabama
on the Subject
COMPLETE ANALYSIS
OF.LAWS OF STATES
Governor in Statement Defines Posi-
ton in Declining to Urge Taft to
Withdraw Veto for the
Coosa River Dam

Montgomery, February S.-(Special.)
That the policy of the state of New
York and that OF Alabama is entirely
different with respect to the control OF
water power sites within their borders
is pointed out by Governor O'Neal in a
strong interview issued today COM
menting upon a recent article in a
newspaper in the state Contrasting his
attitude with the of Governor Sulzer
of New York as to similar federal leg
islation.
Governor ONeal points out that while
Alabama has surrendered its rights, the
state of New York has retained Its con-
troll over water power sites, and he
draws a comparison between the laws
of the two states. The governor points
out that by the provisions of the acts
adopted in 1907 and contained i'm the
code of that year. the state of Alabama
abrogated its rights to the control of
its water power sites, authorizing wa
ter power companies to construct dams
and locks for their purposes, to ac-
quire title to the banks adjoining the
proposed movement, and transferring
TO them the power of enlinent domain,
at the same time providing for "the
poses to and in the waters and bed of
the rivers in which said dam or sys-
TENS of locks are to be constructed.
The laws abrogatng the states rights to
its water power sites were enacted during
the administration of former Gov b. B.
Conner during the legislature of 1907.
The governor in his statement goes into
2 complete analysis of the laws OF the
two states, defining his position in declln-
ing to urge President Taft 10 withdraw
his veto to the bill providing for the con-
struction of a dam on the Coosa river,
and maintaining that he could have safe
guar ded no interest of the state In using
his official position for the purpose of
aiding private corporation. At the same
time he points out that the state still mas
the power of regulation over rates: that
hydro-electric companies are public SER
Vice corporations, and that the state can,
by wise and just laws. prevent unreason-
able and unjust exactions by such COM
panies from the consuming public.
