commission had been appointed was
the subject Of special questioning"
This" said the statement, "Mr.
Lewis insisted had been conducted en-
tirely by university officials, and while
he had made an effort to learn the
names Of the members of the commits
sion as promptly as possible after they
were appointed, he stated that he had
not influenced the appointments. Asked
If he would not have direct influence
on the report of this commission which
would be In opposition to the Boulder
Dam development. he stated that since
the commission had not reported they
could not possibly be prejudged in their
views"
D. c. Sewers of the extension division
of the University of Colorado, figured In
several letters from Lewis files, which
were entered as evidence. One dated
April 8. 1925. contained information
concerning Sewers from BENJAMIN E.
Ling, director of the Ohio committee on
public utility information at Cleveland.
He told Lewis Of having heard Akron
friends describe Sewers as sound, con-
servative and reliable" and added: II
am informed, too that while Mr.. Sewers
never had occasion TO make known his
attitude on municipal ownership while
in Akron. that nevertheless it is the
belief of the people who know him that
he would incline toward private owner
ship"
A letter from Sewers TO Lewis six
days later inclosed summarized state
ment Of the courses offered in business
schools Of the larger Eastern universi-
ties. and Sewers said it was his thought
that II we could secure a person who
would have had the fundamental courses
in statistics and also the courses In
public utilities, we would probably In
this way secure the individual with the
best fundamental training for the re-
search that we have in mind"
