Connecticut River Dam Bill Passes Senate With Changes
The Connecticut River dam bill clears the Senate with amendments removing a proposed Federal tax on water powers and delaying full cost payments. It then allows reconstruction of a Windsor Locks dam under standard terms while shielding navigation rights. The measure also subjects hydroelectric firms and carriers to interstate commerce laws and permits lease cancellations if power concerns form a monopoly. Secretary Stimpson denounces the tax drop.
