     The question has been raised wether part of the newly appro-
priated fund say be used for the purebase, 1 the Goverament of
Puerto Mico, of lands for the storap reeervoir necesry in contim-
ing the construction of the hydro-eleetria plant. ihis question
has arieen in view of the fact that neither the Aereasy ?elief
Appropriation Act, fiscal yar 1941, nor the project deeeription
itself speeifloally authorises the purehase of land, although the
project desription includes the wordst 'storage reservoir'.
