WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-What
advocates Of water power develop

steals ever attempted in the United
States is being engineered at San
Francisco.

DEVELOPMENT in the United States.
Congress Sanctions
Twelve years ago Congress gave
San Francisco permission to use
part Of Yosemite National Park for
building a municipal water and
hydro-electric project. Congress pro
vided San Francisco must develop
and distribute the power generated
and must never sell, sublet or give
it away.
San Francisco built its water and
power dam at a cost of $50,000,00O.
They have never, however, voted
bonds for building power transmits
- sion lines.
This spring. the city found itself
with 410,000,000 kilowatt hours OF
electric energy surplus and no way
of getting it into the lines of its own
municipal street railway system, or
selling it. The board Of supervisors
said It was crime to waste 5000, 900
kilowatt hours of power. and pro-
posed the Pacific Gas & Electric
Co.. only power company in that
district, distribute it as the city's
agent.
Agreement Reached
To this the board, and citizens
advisory committee, agreed. A con-
tract was drawn naming the city as
owner and providing that the COM
pany as its agent should receive a
fiat fee per kilowatt hour, based on
cost Of service, for distributing the
power.
The company rejected this pro-
posal because ut placed the city
legally in the power business in
