The following extract is from
speech by an advocate of
State ownership:
because private capital is
unwilling and afraid to develop
our water powers in Maine,
shall we be denied the benefit of
all this great natural resource
on account of some people fear
ing public ownership Must we
wait for private capital to de-
velop these powers, private cap
ital which has developed less
than 1000 h. p. per year for the
last seven years2"
The same party on another
occasion said:
"True conservation means
immediate development \
corporations who control the
situation say that there is no
market in Maine for more cleo
trio power x so you
see, gentlemen, that any pros
pect of such corporations de-
veloping our water powers for
Maine people is out of the ques-
ton"
