Canadian Side Receding at
Rate of S Feet Per Year,
Says Smithsonian

That the Canadian side Of Niagara
Falls Is committing suicide by re-
ceding at the rate of five feet per
year is stated in publication issued
today by the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, entitled Niagara Falls: It's
Power Development and Preserva-
tion," by Samuel s. Wyer, associate
in mineral technology Of the Institu-
ton.
This bulletin also shows that It
would be possible to develop $780,
600 additional horsepower from Mag
ara Falls without detracting from
it's scenioGbeauty
Mr.. Wyer states that In discuss
ing the proper utilization and con.
servation Of Niagara Falls, both
Canadian and United States, sew
eral problems must be frankly
faced and discussed. The reason
why so many current beliefs re.
garding Niagara Falls do not
square with the facts Is that a
great many Of the visitors to the
Falls were honeymoon couples
coming when they were in tune
with the beautiful and too happy
superficial impressions remain
long after the facts are forgotten.
Mr.. Wyer's investigation of the
present situation at Niagara Falls
leads him to the following con-
illusions:
While Niagara Falls is the most
widely known, 1t is also the least
understood Of our water powers.
There is only one Niagara Falls
Power situation in the world. Con-
ditions here are different from
every other water power.
Contrary to popular opinion,
there is nothing magical about
water power. It is worth just what
can be gotten out of 1t IN COM
petition with electric power gem
Grated from coal, and coal repre-
sents only small part of the total
power cost to the public. Every
water power development must
ultimately answer the question,
"Will or does it pay?"
The Niagara River Is more than
a mere boundry stream between
two friendly nations. It is the
dividing line between two radically
different methods Of rendering
electric service to the public; gov
ernmentaliy owned on the Ontario
side, privately owned but govern
mentally regulated on the United
States side.
