The United Suites aud Canada have
negotiated treaty which controls the
diversion Of water from the Niagara
river aud preserves the scenic gran

The treaty gues into full effect auto
mntically in March. upon the expira-
ton Of the law which now limits some
Of IT'S provisions.
The International agreement was
made In Response to n general demand
that the question OF water diversion
be settled once and for all In accord
ance with expert opinion. The treaty
mixers had exhaustive tests conducted
by hydraulic engineers. and 1t was de-
terminpd that diversions should not
exceed 3,iMM cubic feet IA second on
the Canadian side and 10000 cubic feet
n second on the American side. out of
total flow Of 24O.OOO cubic feet a Sec

The use OF this quantity Of water
for power purposes. the engineers
found. would not affect the appearance
Of the falls sufficiently for the eye to
detect. since only about half the
quantity permitted by the treaty is
now diverted. twice the present horse
