Water Powers in Maine

| I'm making the assertion that
there are 100000 horse powers of
undeveloped water powers in Maine
and that 100000 additional h. p.
may be added by storage, the adj
yocates of State Ownership are max
ing extravagant and false state
| ments.
The Water Storage Commission
states that the maximum amount
of undeveloped water powers is
,023,000 h. p. They do not say
that this amount is available for
development and clearly it is not
available for practical develop
ments On page SO Of their re
port of 1910 they state;
1.-The assumed maximum devel-
opment, based on that amount, the
continuation Of which can be as
sured during six months of the
year.
To develop ON the basis of six
| months of the year would require
extensive steam auxiliary power.
The actual amount of undevelop-
ed primary power chat is, power
that can be depended upon for
ninety to ninety-fve per cent of
the time) which may be develop
ed along practical lines is not in
excess of 100000 h. p. or about one
third of the maximum stated above.
This estimate is made by as com
petent engineering authority as
there is in the State of Maine.
The amount of storage available
for practical purposes is also much
less than 100000 h. p. owing to the
large expense entailed. Storage
reservoirs or water powers may not
be practicable to develop if the <
damage cost on account of fowage
is too great.
