OPINION RETURNED

Power Commissions Authority Re
stricted to Features of Navigation.
Attorney General Mitchell gave the
Power Commission today a Justice De-
partment opinion that its authority
over hydro-electric projects on nom
navigable tributaries of navigable
streams was restricted to such features
as relate to navigation only.
The decision said "the commission is
not required to insert in license any
conditions Except the 50-year limita
ton upon the terms of the license)
which, in its judgments, are not neces-
sary or appropriate to fully utilize the
waters of the tributary in the protection
or development Of navigation on naviga-
BILE waters into which such tributary
empties"
The decision will end the practice Of
the commission to include in the license
for project on a non-navigable tribu-
tary all the conditions of the act ap-
plicable to projects in navigable waters.
