The report points out that at pres
ent the State Public Service commits
sion has no control over holding
companies. 1t raises the question
as to what part of the benefits de-
rived from consultations and a full
Ter use of water power should accrue
to the promoters and operators and
what part should go to the public in
the form of lower rates and further
extensions.
The development of electrical oper-
atoms in agriculture has not yet
seriously started" in New Hampshire,
the report says, adding:
THE question of rural electrical
ton is one Of large Importance in
dealing with pressing problems of our
country towns. 1t is likely to prove
an increa sing factor in certain types
of farm operations. 1t deserves par
ticular attention in its relation to the
urgent task of rehabilitating our
small towns and as a contributing
element to the increased production
of food in New England. Recently
the electric companies have taken
an interest in the rural field and have
sought to arouse the farmers interest
in electric power"
New Hampshire has an installed
water wheel capacity of 2S4.574
horsepower. The committee finds
that water powers are being devel-
oped which previously had been con-
sidered too expensive and that addi-
tional development may be made
possible through the utilization of a
great deal of available storage.
