Moses Raps Hoover Group Power Role
New York power official Robert Moses urges the Hoover Commission to avoid Niagara Falls public vs private power debate. In a letter to Ben Moreell he argues against federal development and says private power would lower costs and boost living standards, while warning against government control. A Hoover Commission hearing panel heard from Moses and several CLO witnesses opposing federal Niagara development. The discourse also covers tax effects, employment, and regional economic impact.
