Under old conditions, when the erection of a dam wai whole apparatus of power development, the man who owned the dam site was considered by that possession to own the power In the water during the time It was passing his land. Vtiien water power was the only power. and larger development was necessary, this dam owner was given the right to take for Co wags the lands of his Immediate neighbors, for a price.
