ample the Alabama Power Company
case involving "the authority of the
Commission to determine currently
the actual legitimate original cost of
licensed projects and to control their
accounting.,
"In a larger sense," Professor
Dewey declared, "the new legislation
may be regarded as a part of Pres-
ident Roosevelt's attempt to secure
the planned coordination of the
power resources and facilities of the
nation. To this end the Federal
Power Commission is directed by the
act to divide the country into the
most economical regional districts
and to secure, voluntarily or other-
wise, the interconnection and planned
use of power facilities within such I
districts."
Holding Act Inevitable
The placing of the Holding Com-
pany Act upon the statute books was
termed "inevitable" by Professor
Dewey. "In the Federal Trade Com-
mission's long investigation of electric
and gas company activities begun in
1928, it uncovered a train of abuses
which finally made a deep impres-
sion on the country. Subsequent in-
vestigation by other federal and state
bodies confirmed the findings of the
Commission."
If any effective control of the hold-
ing companies' practices was to be.
undertaken, Professor Dewey stated,
the federal government alone was in
a position to do it. "Partly because
the holding companies were not re-
garded as public utilities and partly
because their activities were inter-
state in character, the holding com-
panies could not be reached by the
states."
Could Have Avoided Trouble
Serving as a collecting reaction of
the administration to an unsatis-
factory situation, the government
created the Holding Company Act,
the TVA, REA, and others, Professor
Dewey asserted. "Had the utilities
been more humble or more intelli-
gent, they might have avoided some
of their later difficulties with the
federal government. They chose,
however, to fight against the rate
reductions and to regard themselves
as largely beyond the sphere of public
control. With the coming of the New
Deal, the public no longer was willing
to wait upon the companies to shift
voluntarily their long-cherished an-
tipathy to government supervision."

Curtis Lists Objectives
After a slight intermission, the con-
ference reassembled, and Dr. Hery,
S. Curtis, who is in charge of the
Huron Valley Recreation Service
talked on "Some Fundamental. Ob
jectives." -
Dr. Curtis outlined 10 objectives
which, he said, should be considered .t
in the improving of the Huron River
Valley.
"The first objective," DrI. Curtis
said, "would be getting rid of the
sewage in the river." He pointed out
that the question of sewage was one
of the biggest that had to be con-
sidered.
']the second "objective in his plan
is the clearing of barbed wire and
waste materials out of the river soAN
that boating on the Huron would be
possible.
The maintaining of water levels
is the third point in Dr. Curtis'
10 point plan. "The water level in "--
many places along the rive flue-
tuates very much, and it is very im-
portant that the water level be main-
tained," he said.
Seek Regioal Head
The fourth and fifth objectives in s -
the plan deal with maintaining fish
in the river, and increasing and car-a-
ing for the wild life along the banks --
The sixth objective in Dr. Curtis' -
plan is a program for the beautifi-
cation of the river, and the seventh
establishment of a circular parkway
starting at Rockwood where the Hu- <:
ron River empties into Lake Erie, and
following the Huron, and then the
Clinton River, to where the Clinton

Dr. Curtis' eighth objective is a
guide and plan of the valley that 5
w'ould be given to tourists, and the SLACK HEP
ninth is to have the state legislature
pass some modern laws about water
resources.
