 'The fair value of the plant will De determined mutually by the Secretary ol War and the power company. and ln case of a disa agreement by the United States district court having Jurisdiction. In de- termining the fair value, no allowance shall be made the grantee for rights granted upon the bill. If the United States takes over a plant, it may operate the property, or lease to a new appi- cant, or it may renew the permit to the original per1nittee upon the same terms and with the same restrictions as re- quired by the then existing laws. Should the plant be leased to new permittee he shall pay the price which the govern ment would be required to pay under the recapture clause just recited.
 It is provided that all charges to con sumers shall be regulated by the state within which the plant lies. Interstate rates are to be regulated by the interstate commerce commission. A grantee, under the Shields bill, must begin construc- ton within two years after the issuance of permit and within three years there after must complete the dam and the first unit of power development

THE RECAPTURE CLAUSE

Permittees under the Adamson bill will pay such reasonable charges as may be fixed by the Secretary of War for the use and occupancy of government lands. As in the Shields bill permits are to be for 50 years, and irrevocable ex- cept for violation of the terms of the grant or of the law.
 The recapture clause of the Adamson bill is somewhat more specific than the corresponding clause of the Shields bill, and requires the government on taking over a plant at the end of 50 years, to pay the actual costs of the dam and locks. rights of way water rights, lands, etc., used in connection with the water project and in addition the reasonable value of all other property taken over, but stipu- lates that the amount to be paid shall in no case exceed the actual cost of the property so acquired. The req sonable value will not include the value of the franchise, good will, or profits to be earned on pending contracts, or any other intangible element.
 In case of war. the United States is given the right to requisition and take possession of any power plant and oper- ate it for it's own uses, paying a reason able compensation for the privilege.
 Under the Adamson bill a special ac. will have to be passed by Congress au- thorizing the construction of each dam and power plant, as it now is the prac- tce under the Shields bill permits fol dams and plants would be granted by the Secretary of War without further action of Congress.

THE ADAMSON BILL

Many of the provisions of the Shields bill are incorporated in the Adamson bill, now on the House calendar, and some new restrictions are imposed. For instance under the Adamson bill the grantee cannot deliver to one consumer more than 50 per cent of his output, with out the sanction of the Secretary of War, nor can he, without similar authority, sell power to a distributing company The physical connection of plants will be al- lowed only on permit from the Secretary of War. and combination of power sys- tems for the fixing of prices or control of markets is prohibited.
 Interstate rates, instead of being reg ulated by the interstate commerce com mission, are to be regulated by the Sec retary of War, who, in determining valua- tion for rate-making purposes. will con- sider the cost of locks and other aids to navigation, but will make no allowance for the value of rights conferred by the bill, for good will, or any other intangible value.
 The Adamson bill, differing from the Shields bill. requires that construction shall begin within one year from the is- suance of a permit. It further disclaims any purpose to interfere with any state law relating to the control, sppropria- tion, use or distribution of water except for DllrpOSeS of navigation
