tanning the waterpower laws Of for

by a French government engineer in
conjunction with the geological survey,
is wholly misleading as to the present

the laws quoted in the report have
been amended, and a majority Of the
amendments have been In the direction

Not only Is the report out Of date,
and hence unfair to the status of public
regulation abroad, but 1t makes no
mention of Germany's ~wRterpower
