ASK QUICK ACTION
ON Water POWER
Three Cabinet Members Recommend
Alterations I'm Pending Bill to
Protect Private Capital.
SHOULD DEFINE CONDITIONS
Secretaries Baker, Lane and Hous-
ton Think Law Should Be Expli-
cit--Encourage Building Extcn-
sions to Existing Projects.
icy Associated Press.l


WASHINGTON. March 2.-Changes In
tho pending administration water power
bill to express more clearly tho intent
OF tho legislation were recommended
to-day to Chairman Sims. OF the House
special water power committee. by
who drew the measure. They urged
speedy passage of tho bill, SO as to
stabilize tho power industry generally
and encourage, the building OF extern
sions to existing projects
Water power legislation" said the
letter, should havo in view not only
the maintenance OF tho rights OF the
public in the national resources, but
also the adequate protection Of private
capital by which such resources are de-
veloped. The bill before you seems to
do both. After careful consideration.
however. It Is believed that certain
changes In language could be mado
which would moro clearly express the
intent o. the proposed legislation.
TT Ia particularly important that tho
conditions which affect tho disposition
OF tho property at the termination Of
the license should be SO definite that
uncertainties will DO reduced to a mini
mum. II tho properties are not taken
over. tho conditions under which
now license may be secured should be
entirely clear. If the properties are
taken over. the price to he paid should
not include alleged values not repre-
scented by investment or, on the other
hand, require needless amortization OF
capital during the period Of the license
In order 10 protect the Investment. It
is, therefore. believed advisable to de-
nne In specific language tho Items
which should or should not enter into
tho price to be paid"
Development OF water power Is
urgently needed. the secretaries wrote
IL the United States is II maintain
It's proper place in world trade after
the war. or even to supply It's domestic
nceds- 1t also is necessary In order
to reduce the drain on the nations
coal and petroleum supplies. particu-
larly tho latter.
Tho Industrial expansion which has
been necessary in order to produce the
materials and equipment needed in the
prosecution OF the war" the letter con-
tinued. has placed Unprecedented de-
mands upon the electric power indus
try. TO such An extent. in fact that
tho output OF commercial central sta
tons has Increased moro than co per
cent since 1914.
while tho form OF the bill which
has been presented for your considera-
ton is directly concerned with water
power development only. an adequate
solution of this problem will have
stabilizing effect upon the whole power
industry. Probably no considerable in
crease In new water power developme emit
can be expected Immediately. but leg
islation Is urgently needed In order to
put existing water power developments
which have been made under made
quate law. into a position OF security
which Will enable them to make extern
sions and to meet maturing obligations
upon favorable terms"
