federal and provincial governments over water powers on navigable streams la likely to follow parliamentary investigation of the wmr structure of beau power corporation the company now has authority to divert 40000 cubic feet per second at beauhamols ween lake st louis and lake fran cis on the st lawrence river and is about to seek approval by the do minion of withdrawal rights of 30000 additional cubic feet already sanc tioned by quebec at one period the king govern ment contended that power rights on navigable waters were vested hi the dominion the claim was contested by ontario and quebec and a decision of the supreme court of canada fail ed to finally dispost of the matter shortly afterwards quebec province gave beauhamols its authority and the then federal government approved the plans for the work as not inter fering with the rights of navigation a year ago the whole situation was brought dramatically to the atten tion of parliament with the claim that the promoters who had a very limit ed cash investment in proportion to the cost of the enterprise which was financed by a bond and preferential stock issue had made themselves a present of stocks of a face value of some hundred million dollars and that the ultimate scheme would raise this to probably three hundred mil lions by cenrparison it made all other canadian promotional enter prises look insignificant in the return it promised those influential enough to put it across the demand was then made that the whole circum stances be fully investigated and mr bennett as leader of the opposition expressed the view that if the cir cumstances were as represalted com plete inquirar wak desirable the matter was raised again a few days ago by the tjja leader robert gardiner who insisted the oompany had broken its lease and that it was still within the power of the domin ion to secure return of rights which he computed to have a value of hun dreds of millions mr bennett agreed that the whole issue be referred to a committee of the house for investi gation and this is now being done the prime minister pointed out that eminent counsel advised hum that the power rights did not belong to the dominion e- the inquiry is likely to throw up a considerable amount of mud as the suggestion has been made that cer tain members of parliament were fin ancially interested m the project mr gardiner charged that senator w l mcdougald of montreal former chair man of the montreal harbor commis sion and a most intimate friend of mr king was paid 780o00 and 208000 a noimnxn shares for his in terest in the old company those se curities according to the oompany prospectus mr gardiner said were worth 30000000 though the present market price is about wt5d00o other member of both bouses are said to have been retained in a legal capacity by the power company and mr oar- diner said men behind the company has been charged with attempting to corrupt the administration ot justice in quebec not since the customs inquiry has such a subject aroused equal interest at this writing the claim is advanced that the power i ea are as envi ous to have the ghosts of suspicion and innuendo laid as
