THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 24. 1920. DRAFTING RULES FOR OPENING UP v n r iiiiTFiinitiiiiiii fUl iiniLiu UHLIl Regulations for Licensina Users of U. S. Waterways for Power Will Be Very Complicated. v . Washington, July 23. Resula-,. ; I ions tor the achr.inistrat-on of the icdcral act opening up the country's vast waterpower resources to pri vate development are now being drafted. As soon as they are com pleted, the waterpower commission, composed of the secretaries of war, interior and agriculture, will hold hearings on them. TJie commission, of which Secre tary Baker has been appointed chairman by President Wilson, will hold its first meeting immediately upon Secretary Payne's return from Alaska about August 5. The hear ings &n the regulations will be pushed as speedily as possible so that the waterpower legislation, which has been 10 years ir. the mak ing can be put into effect without undue delay. Draw Tentative Draft The tetUative regulations are be ing drawn up by a special commit tee of the War, interior and Agricul tural departments. It is composed of Major General Enoch 11. Crow dcr representing the War depart ment; O. C. Merrill, waterpower ex pert in the forestry service, who has been designated executive secretary of the commission, and H. A. Stab ler of the Interior department. Members of the committee say the regulations will be extensive and that they probably will be - an nounced in series, with open hear ings on each group before they, are made final. Those relating to form and condition of application for sur vey permit or licenses will be the first announced. The most difficult problem involved in drawing up the regulations, members of the com mittee say, is that of establishing a uniform system of accounting for licenseess required by the act. License For 50 Years. the ' waternower bill the lission is empowered to issue ises for a period not exceeding SO years. The licensee will pay to the government reasonable annual ' charges in an amount to be fixed by the commission. Upon the expira tion of any license the government, if two years' notice in writing has been given by the commission, will have the right to take over and 'i operate any waterpower develop I inent after payment of the net in v vestment of the licensee in the pro ject or projects taken, not to exceed the fair value of the property plus such reasonable damages, if any, to property of the licensee as may be caused by the severance .therefrom of property taken. In cases where such notice has not been given the government also will have the right to take over upon mu tual agreement with the licensee any property developed under the terms of the bill subject to the payment of the net investment.
