WATERPOWER ACT
Regulations for the admin
istration of the Federal act
opening • up the country s
vast waterpower resources to
private development are now
being drafted. As soon as
they are complete and the
Waterpower Commission,
composed of the Secretaries
of War. Interior and Agricul
ture. will hald hearings on
them.
The Commision, of which
Secretary Baker has been
appointed chairman by Pres
ident Wilson, will hold its
first meeting imediatelv up
on Secretary Payne's return
from Alaska about August 5.
The hearings on the regula
tions will be pushed as
speedily^ as possible so that
the waterpower legislation.!
which has been ten years in'
the making, can be put into
effect without undue delay.
The tentative regulations
are being drawn up by a
special comittee of the War.
Interior and Agricultural De
partments. It is composed of
Major General Enoch H.
Crowder, representing the
War Department. O. C. Mer
rill. waterpower expert in the
forestry service, who has
been designated executive
secretary of the commission
and H. A. Stabler, of the In
terior Department.
Members of the committee
say the regulations will be
extensive and that they prob
ably will be announced in
series, with open hearings on
each group before they are
made'final. Those relating
to form and condition of ap
plication for survey permit
or licenses will be the first
announced. The most dif
ficult problem involved in
drawing up the regulations,
members of the committee
say. is that of establishing a
uniform system of account
ing for licensees as required
by the act.
Under the waterpower
Bill the commission is em
powered to isue licenes for
a period not exceeding 50
years. The licensees will
pay to the government rea
sonable anual charges in an
amount to be fixed by the
commission. Upon the expir
ation of any license the gov
ernment, if two years’ notice
in writing has been given by
the commission, will have the
right to take over and
operator any waterpower de
velopment after payment of
velopment after payment
net investment of the licen
see in the project or projects
taken, not to exceed the fair
value of the property plus
such reasonable damages, if
any, to property of the licen
see as may be caused by the
se\erance therefrom of prop
erty taken.
In cases where such notice
has not been given the gov
ernment also will have the
right to take over upon
mutual agreement with the
licensee any property de-;
veloped under the terms of
the bill subject to the pay-,
ment of the next invest-j
ment.
CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD
The cost of publishing the
Congressional Record, the j
government publication re-!
cording daily everything that
is said and done in Congress. I
as well as some things out
side. was $537,640 last year. I
practicallv the same as for
1018. but about $300,000 less
than the 1917 cost.
These figures were given
recently by R. O. Beene ac
countant at the government j
printing office, in answer to
an inquiry of representative.
Magee, of New York, as to i
the possible saving that
would result from the discon
tinuance of the record. Mr.
Beene gave the cost for 1917
as $801,790,88 and tor 1918'
as $537,640.
Cornelius Ford, the public
printer, was asked for an ex
planation of the high figure
in 1917. but confessed his'
ignorance unless it happened
that Congress “did more
talking" that year. Mr. Ford
said that 1917, Congress was ,
in session 250 days; in 1918,
307 days, and in 1919. 279
days.
The printed pages in the
Record for these vears were
652. 511, 964 in 1917; 563.
672, 587 in 1918, and 455,1
130. 450 in 1919. The cost;
of paper has increased great
ly within the past threej
years, but the use of a
lighter and less expensive:
quality has helped reduce\
the aggregate cost of the!
paper used. For 1919, the
paper cost was $130,000 as
compared with $162,000 in'
1918 and $300,000 in 1917. i
Every year Congress!
grants $100 for the repair of;
fences and for cleaning up1
and maintaining the 13-acre!
reservation a t Wakefield, j
Va., where George Washing-;
ton was born.
There is no dwellirfg on!
the place, but a monument;
marks the place of nativity:
of “the father of his coun-'
try”. Wakefield is 110 miles
from Washington, and is not|
often visited because it is notj
accessible. It is a mile and!
a half from the Potomac and
pilgrims going by water must,
trudge overland to reach it.!
Excursion steamers no I
longer stop, the old govern-1
ment wharf having been
partly carried away by ice
and floods and never re-;
paired.
