WASHINGTON - The turning
point in Flood Control legislation
has come. President Coolidge has
not only prevented the House of
Representatives from accepting,
hastily the measure passed by the
Senate, but there is no doubt now
that a veto will be forthcoming. IN
less the pending bill is materially
amended.
There is reason to be believe that
there will not be enough votes in
the House TO override a Presiden-
tial veto. Politics will come into
play, because the Middle West IS
anxious that something be done at
once. 10 rehabilitate the entire Miss
issippi
Mr.. Coolidge has won much of his
popularity in the East. by the use
of the veto power, whereas in the
West. he has earned considerable
antagonism. The prospect of a veto
of the McNary- Haugen bill and a
veto of the Flood Control bill is not
making things any easier for the
regular Republicans in the Middle
West.

REVISED REGULATIONS
FOR SMALL POWER PROJECTS


The Federal Power Commission,
on the recommendation of the Dis
trict Forester for Alaska, has revis-
ed its regulations to simplify the
procedure in acquiring licenses to
develop small power projects in the
Territory. Licenses for projects as
large as 500 horse power now re-
quire the submission of only the
relatively simple data in the way
of surveys, plans and specifications,
that was formerly permitted for
projects involving less than 100
horse power. In addition a much
simplified system of accounting for
showing the first cost of the deyel-
opment and the yearly operating
costs and revenue is provided for
all small and moderate sized plants.
The District Forester points out
that the coast of Alaska has hun
dreds of small power sites whose de-
velopment should be encouraged
wherever there is a possible use for
the power and these changes in the
regulations are to make such sites
available for the operation of mines,
eanneries, sawmills and other in
dustrial plants with the least posi-
Bile expense and trouble to the pros
pectiYe user.
