In commenting on section 10 of the Ferris water power bill which covers substantially the same ground as the Sinnott bill Secretary Lane said: "Section 10 of the bill is also im portant, in that it will permit in many instances a dual use of the land, or a part thereof, providing that the sec retary of the interior may in his dis cretion, allow entries or claims mule.' appropriate land laws for areas re- stived for water power sites where the water power development will not be injured thereby. There are many cases where the dam, reser voir, or conduit will occupy only a part of a legal subdivision, and thi., will permit the agricultural use of the balance. There are other caseo where there is now timber upon llm surface, which may be disposed of under appropriate laws, cut, anl re rnoved before the land is required or utilized for power purposes."
