 whose combined horse-power is about 500,000 and that if to 

 this amount be added the total amount of power for which charter 

 rights have been granted, the total development at Niagara, when 

 the full limit of these charters has been reached will be about 

 9,000,000 horse-power.

There is another side to this question, however — the economic 

 one — which has been forced to the front by the developments 

 in science, engineering, and industry during the past ten years, 

 and this phase of the situation cannot be set aside without careful 

 consideration. The development of power at Niagara to-day is
