Dead River storage charters, from

When the Legislature convened in
January, 1928 it was apparent that
a determined effort was to be made
by certain private corporations to
obtain complete control of the Ken

ton had been perfected for that
purpose. During the first week OF
the session the watcr-pow lobby
appeared upon the scene in Au-

progress. But the young people
are becoming imbued with the
ideals OF Western Europe.
Closer commercial contact with

l realized that the companies had
not asked for the specific right to
develop" water power, but UNDER
stood their plan which was merely a
blind or camouflage. Once the stor-
age dam was built, of course no other
dam could be placed on the same To-
cation and the Kennebec Company
was the only party that could ever
develop water power in that location
or area. They had seen to it that
nothing was left to the State! The
second step was to ask the next Leg
islature for the nominal right to de-
velop or sell the water power at the
dam where it would be running to
waste, and such request then could
rot reasonably be withheld. told
Messrs. Wyman and Skeltcn that If
they built dam there was no reason
why they should not develop, such
power as was available, for to fail to
do so would be an economic waste
and certainly no one else could de-
velop water power at their dam To-
cation. Mr.. Wyman replied that the
water power" would be of no cof1se-
uuence, and if there was some sea
sonaT" power it would be for only
four or five months year. and he
would not know what to do with it if
he had it. He stated it was not worth
A! bothering about and brushed the
whole power matter aside. Nothing
more was said about it, nor did it en-
ter into our calculations. The price
| of $4,000 was agreed upon before
water power was mentioned; that
price was not discussed or altered
afterwards and no suggestion OF di-
viding the rental, one part for storage
and another for power was made.
That figure was based solely upon
storage and not upon the water pow
