B. 491 by Repre sentative Lewis to the committee on utilities. Representative Lew Is Is supporting the bill which Is modeled after the Ontario plat of state power development. Tho grange is behind 8. B. 244 which has already passed the up per house and awaits action la tho lower assembly. Representa tive Lewis prefers H. B. 491 to S. B. 244,, the former provid ing authority for the hydroelec tric commission to issue $200,009 In bonds to start the develop ment work going. The senate bill sets up the machinery for hydro electric development but provides no authority for tho commission to Incur state Indebtedness with out a popular vote. It Is expected that the com mittee members will seek to lroa out differences between the va rious hydroelectric groups so a bill can be reported out favorably the first of next week with both groups behind It. ! ijctctcicr CJCtCJC.
