st. Johnsbury, Dec. Sc. w. Ruth
of Boston, mechanical engineer fol
Stone & Webster, the great construc-
ton firm, has been in Waterford to
inspect the preliminary work that i
being done at the foot of the Fifteen
Mile falls. He.e a force of dozen
men have been working for the past
few weeks sounding, diamond drilling
and surveying for dam that will be
built a part of the largest hydro-elec-
tric power station in Vermont IT the
construction company find that the
dam will not cost too much and mar
ket can be found for the electric cur
rent, a concrete dam will be construct
ed in 1920 that will be the last word
in such construction and viii develop
1000 horse power. 1t is not all i'm
probable that if this great project is
carried out mills and factories miles
from the Fifteen Mile falls will be able
to use electricity for their power in
stead of soft coal, which has already
become very difficult to procure
The new dam is not connected in any
way with the recent estate sales in Me-
lndoes. except that it is understood
that these sales have been made with
the intention of establishing a large
manufacturing plant at Mclndoes. If
this is done it is likely that the power
for the new plant viii be obtained
from the new dam.

GOVERNMENT
GIVES UP on SUGAR
No Further Distribution Regulations
Sugar Equalization Board Will
Be Dissolved.

Washington, Dec. Abandonment
of governmental attempts to control
the distribution and sale of sugar was
announced yesterday by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer After the sugar equaliza
ton board is dissolved Dec. 81. the
government will confine its efforts to
prosecution of profteering in sugar
Mr. Palmer said.
Explaining the departments policy
for the future, Mr.. Palmer said he had
neither the power nor the facilities
to control the purchase or distribution
of sugar. This was said to mean the
end of the program for bringing in
fresh supplies of sugar from Cuban and
other sources. Apparently little use
can be made of the new authority con
ferred upon Mr.. Palmer by the presi.
dent, who designated him as food ad.
ministrator.
"There was a conference this morn.
ing between representatives of the sug.
ar equalization board and department
of Justice officials in which the sugar
situation was reviewed" Mr. Palmer
said yesterday THE department has
neither the power nor the facilities with
which to control the purchase or dis
tribution Of sugar The only govern
mental body having this power is the
sugar equalization board, and its con.
troll terminates Dec 81.
"The Congress, although requested tc
do so, has failed to extend the life OF
the board. The department of justice
will contine its efforts in the future tc
the enforcement Of provisions of the
Lever food act by prosecuting all in.
stances Of sales of sugar for an unjust
or unreasonable profit"
