AS WAR NECESSITY
Administrations Legislation
Advocated Before House
Water Power Committee.

The administrations water-power
legislation was advocated at hearing
before the House water power committee
expansion due to the war. Secretary Lane,
who was to have appeared, will speak for
the bill later in the week.
c. C. Merrill of the forestry service
was the principal witness today.
He told Of the Industrial expansion
caused by war demands. and reviewed
the fluctuations in prices of materials
for power plants. with steel plates
reaching the highest increased record
because Of use OF that material In the
governments shipbuildfng operations,
crease because Of lack of expansion Of
railroad trackage.
He said steam power plant equipment
was away up in cost over pre-war prices
and that labor wages had gone up ire
mendously since 1913. He told how the
coal situation had increased steam-power
costs and that it was improbable that the
coal prices, would be restored after the
war to any pre-war basis.
Increased fuel costs had caused in
creased steam-power operating costs. and
the demand for power is increasing and
will continue to increase during the period
Of reconstruction after the war. Revenue
from sale Of elect .cal energy, while in
in business, he said.
Lease Dam Sites Fifty Years.
1t proposes the leasing of dam sites
for not longer than fifty years, with a
recapture provision that land, water
rights. dam sites and good will at the
end of the lease shall go back to the
government at actual cost, and the rest
of the plant at it's fair value. Prompt

Quired to avoid speculation. A rental
royalty for use Of dam sites and federal
property is to be required except for
which furnish current to
consumers without profit.
The federal government is to be para

troll to avoid any private monopoly. and
1t reserves full power to fix rates for
service, capitalization, bond issues and
other acts in interstate projects. and
where there is no public utilities COM
mission for this purpose in. intrastate

make annual reports, and each lease is
to be revocable in case of proof of con-
