This paper undertakes to state briefly the plans of organization of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission, the British Grid, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and then the proposals made by the planning bodies and in bills submitted to Congress for the public administration of power from Bonneville and Grand Coulee. (I have not received Senate Bill No. 2092, and H. R. 6151, a bill prepared by the Senators of Oregon and Washington, which is more similar, I suspect, to their bill described herein which died with the 74th Congress. I would have been glad to add a summary of this bill if time had permitted.)
