Judge Ray S. Reid, state waterway commissioner, backs the view that the state owns unappropriated water powers and should not surrender public rights to private franchises. He urges equitable rules to protect the public while authorizing reasonable private use, noting public domain is the people’s property and warning against conceding broad private grabs. The issue parallels national debates as irrigation policy looms large.
