The chief subjects considered in the accompanying bill are 

 the amount of water that may safely be taken from the Niagara 

 river, to whom it should be given, the amount of power that ought 

 to be generated from the water used, the amount of power that 

 may be imported from Canada, who shall grant the permits, and 

 what limitations and restrictions should be placed in such permits 

 for the diversion of water and the importation of power. 



U. S. CONGRESS. House committee on foreign affairs. Diversion of 

 water from the Niagara river. Hearings. . . . 63d Cong., 2d sess. 

 Jan. 16, 1914. Wash.: Gov't print, off. 1914. 



Statements of Hon. Henry P. Velte, George F. Thompson, James W. 

 Kelly, George E. Van Kennan, all of New York State, that they want 

 4,400 cubic feet of water in control of New York State so that Niagara 

 may be protected from monopolistic control. 



What we want is that this limitation under the Burton Act be 

 set aside in any proposed legislation, and any additional water 

 power granted shall be granted so that it shall be subject either 

 to the approval of any of the governmental departments, of the 

 Federal Legislature jointly with that of the State of New York. 

 This is one of the propositions. 



Another proposition is that the State of New York shall have 

 the opportunity to say to whom the diversion shall go. — Senator 

 Velte.
