Only the public utilities are opposed to the
bill. raising against it the old cry of "eco-

In this case that argument is peculiarly
specious. The engineers first figured out
that the waste would amount to S48,000,-

savings IN the regional electric light bill
resulting from the use of water power. AS
the support of the bill became more vigor-

ton that the park the Federal commission
would create there would in itself involve
no economic gain. As well leave the
scenery out of Niagara. or the parkway out
