ELECTRIC
HEAD HOLDS STATE
POWER IS CHEAPER
owen u Young Makes Im-
p0rtant Statement On
Public Ownership.

ALBANY, N. Y.--Unexpected adj
missions freely given, supporting the
case for public ownership have come
from Owen d. Young, chairman Of
the board Of directors Of the General
Electric company. The admissions
are contained in letter to Governor
Alfred e. Smith in commenting on
the Water Power authority, a public
corporation now being urged by the
governor as q means Of bringing
about a state-owned hydro-electric
system in New York, where Niagara
Falls and the st. Lawrence river af-
ford great possibilities Of develop
ment.
Public Has Advantage
@The cost of energy developed
from falling water says Mr.. Young
in his letter, els determined very
largely by the cost Of capital en-
ployed in the development. A public
corporation such as you propose,
whose securities would be exempt
from taxation under the federal law
and under the state lay, should pro-
duce, if properly set up, the required
money substantially cheaper than a
private corporation could obtain"
After expressing the opinion that
the bonds Of such public corpora
ton should be secured by its proper
ties rather than BY the general cred
it Of the state, Mr.. Young's letter
continues:
Il see no objection, but, on the con-
trary, / can see some advantages to
the development Of the greater water
powers on the st. Lawrence and in the
gorge Of the Niagara BY q public
owned corporation rather than BY
private corporation, and to the owner
ship Of all lands, water rights, flow
age, dams, power housess and struct-
ures by such public corporation
Opinion Is Encouraging

public ownership Of hydro-electirc
