Republican members Of the state
Water Power Commission moved
toward a crisis last night when the
governor made known that he had
retained Samuel Unter1nyer, New
York attorney, as special counsel 10

The governor indicated that MT.

ings in the courts as may be deemed
necessary
The commission has indicated an in
tention of granting q 60'year lease
for the development OF water power
on the St. Lawrence River at barn
hardt Island to one Of two applicants,
the American Superpower Corporation
and the Frontier Power Corporation.
Deal Called Absurd.
The governor was asked to with
draw his f1rst telegram, sent soon alteI
the election in November. asking tna1
the licensing be delayed, in return
for a promise by the commission to
make the licenses subject to acton
by the new Legislature, but the gov,
ernor refused, terming it an absurd
deal"
The governor in a letter to the
commission made public yesterday
said that because of tha position or
the attorney general of the State as
2 member Of the commission. he was
unable to secure the 0isinterested al.
vice and assistance OF the chief legal
officer Of the state" The commission
purposes to grant the licenses AT a
meeting In Albany on wednesday.
"In addition to the reasons already
given by me-" the governor said, a1ter
consulting with counsel, 1t ts pointed
cut to me that the terms OF recapture
10y the State are as against the STATE
Sc excessive and so Inadequate for It's
protection as to be prohibittve. con-
fiscatory and worthless. AS far as
any benefit may ever come to the
state by ultimate ownership. you may
lust as we'll leave out the recapture
clause.
Cnwarranted, He Says.
The fear expressed by you that
unless YOU act within the remaining
% davs Of your official life Congress
may act on the favorable report OF
the International Board OF Engineers
IS hardly convincing or warranted by
the facts.
IF the terms OF the lease which you
propose are correctly set forth, ] am
advised that it is unauthorized and
illegal! besides which many OF its pro.
visions are burdensome and unjust to
the State.
Copies of this letter have been
mailed to the Frontier Power Cor.
poration and the American Super.
mower Co, who are hereby put upon
notice and win act at their peril"
