MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC PLANT.

The suggestion of John Vert that
there be an investigation made of the
feasibility of constructing a munici-
pal electric plant in connection with a
mountain water system is. something
worth while It Is Of particular in
terest coming from man OF pro-
nounced conservatism like Mr.. Vert
and at a time when the people of the
city are at war with the private ell
ectric company now operating here.
The idea Of obtaining city water
from the north fork of the Umatil
Ia river is not new. There are many
people and some of them on the city
water commission who look on the
north fork as their final goal. 1t
seems to offer far and away the best
source Of supply for Pendleton.
There is much water in the north
fork, it is above Wenaha springs and
beyond all possible contamination,
The water is colder than the water
in the south fork of the river. Il
would be a splendid thing for the
eity to obtain water from that source.
An engineer. in the employ of the
water board, has already reported it
would be feasible to construct an ell
ectric system in connection with a
water system Power could be gen.
Grated at a station between this city
and the mountains and the surplus
water turned back into the river.
1t only remains to be seen whether
or not the people would make money
and improve conditions by installing
an electric plant. 1t is the belief of
the East Oregonian that a municipal
plant would pay for itself without
difficulty and would give the people
better service than they are now get
ting at lower rates. Furthermore a
power plant would be an asset that
would stand to increase in value
greatly as the years 90 by. It would
make Pendleton free from the clutch
es Of the present electric combine or
any subsequent trusts that may be
formed.
Why not act On the suggestion just
made? Pendleton people were never
in a better mood than now for con-

DRIVING Us TO II.

If a municipal electric plant is
provided for Pendleton the Pacific
Power & Light company will have
only itself to blame BY its attitude
towards Pendleton the electric trust
is making municipal electric plant ad-
vocates every day. The company has
offered to provide cluster light poles
free on Alder street in Walla Walla
whereas in Pendleton the property
owners must pay for such poles. The
affair is explained by the electric
company of course. Nevertheless the
fact remains Alder street people gel
their poles free while Pendleton peo-
pie pay. The reduced" rates just
granted Pendleton are also explain
ed in very elaborate way Still the
fact remains that business men, or al
least many of them, now pay more
for lights than ever before. What
good are explanations if the bills are
bigger. They are what count.
The electric company also takes a
narrow and a selfish stand in refer
ence to placing its wires underground
Ii objects to doing so even though
their poles spoil the appearance of
our business streets and though the
wires are dangerous to people in time:
of fire.
All these things arouse feeling
against the electric company and it is
feeling that is very likely to result ii
the establishment of a municipal ell.
ectric plant.
If the electric company does no
wish to see a municipal electric plan
installed it will be well for the com
pany to show a greater consideration
for the wishes and the interests o
the people of Pendleton and do tina
without further haggling and delay.

towards eliminating the complaints
that arose from the side street prop
erty owners. 1t is to be hoped so at
least, 1t is too much to expect the
side street people to pay so per cent
of the cost of paving East Alta street,
II is true though, as one councilman
said last evening, that no plan for
paving can be devised that will be
absolutely equitable and satisfactory
&c everyone concerned. There will be
Objectionable features TO any assess
ment plan that may be devised and
the best that can be hoped is that
the council will do its best towards
assessing the cost where it properly
belongs.
Meanwhile the fact remains that it
will be splendid thing for Pendletor
TO have East Alta street paved.

At the council meeting last even
ing another stride was taken towards
the paving Of Alta street from Main

The rem0nstrauce filed by residents
0. the East Alta street district was
rejected and instructions given the
city attorney TO draft an ordinance
calling for bids on the paving Of the
street in question.
This does not mean that the paw

The council will have the right to re-
jcct any or all bids and IL the paw
ing companies are too high with the.-
figures no doubt all viii be rejected.
They should be turned down II they
are found excessive.
The council also has some work TO
do In the way OF equalizing the as
sessment for the East Alta paving.
Even though the district plan be ad-
herea to It will still be possible, it
seems. for the council to do much

The Pacific Power e. Light COM
rany collects $4,000 annually from
Pendleton. Most Of that money goes
away and never comes back. How
much better it would be could local
people have that money or a portion
thereof applied in paying out on a
municipal electric plant.
