The recent visit of President Mil lerand to the valley of the Rhone re vived interest in the famous Rhone j water power project, plans for which have been completed and now are be fore the Senate for ratification. The Chamber of Deputies approved the scheme in October 1919. The Rhone project, as it is known in Europe, is one of the most com prehensive water power developments ever conceived and involves the ex penditure of 3,000,000,000 francs. N.o fewer than 20 lesser projects have been launched in France but the Rhone is further advanced than the others. It has been estimated that the Rhone scheme, together with the other big projectst, ould effect an annual saving of 5,000,000 tons of coal, thus diverting this to other pur poses and materially reducing the im portation of coal by France. ( The Rhone plan would make naviga ble between 400 and 500 kilometers of tJatriyer, would reclaim 650,000 acres of ground now useless, and prob ably place at the door or Paris elec tricity at a price within the reach of everyone. by the electoral campaign just passed.
