LEGISLATION RELATING TO THE COURT OF CLAIMS [PRIVATE LAW 378-81ST CONGRESS] [S. 2031] AN ACT For the relief of the Willow River Power Company. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Bertha A. Burkhardt, Helene E. Schultz, and Hugh F. Gwin, as trustees and successors to the Willow River Power Company, a Wisconsin corporation, the sum of $25,000, together with interest on such sum at the rate of 41⁄2 per centum per annum from August 12, 1938, to the date of payment, representing the amount of damages found by the United States Court of Claims (Congressional Numbered 17851, decided June 6, 1949, in response to S. Res. 231, Eightieth Congress), to have resulted from diminution of the generative capacity of such company's hydroelectric plant located near the confluence of the Willow River and the Saint Croix River, due to a rise in the waters of the Saint Croix River beginning August 12, 1938, caused by the erection by the United States of a dam across the Mississippi River, near Red Wing, Minnesota: Provided, That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000. Approved February 17, 1950.
