The contract between REA ana
the Pioneer Rural Electric Coop
eratIve provides that wiring in
stallations are to be made on a
group basis. by independent cleo
trieal contractors. according To
plans and specifications approved
bv REA. Contracts for installing
wiring on groups of farms will be
awarded to qualified electricians
on the basis of competitive bid
dine In this way the members
of the cooperative can obtain the
benefits OF mass construction
These same practices have proved
to be a major contributing factor,
greatly decreasing the average cost
of rural distribution line since the
Federal rural electritieation pro-
gram was undertaken.
This contract with the Ohio Co
operative is made under the emer-
gsncy authorization of May II,
1898. The program outlined in the
Rural Electrification Act of 1896,
for which funds will be available
on July | contemplates Federal
loans through REA for all phases

tribution lines. farmstead wiring
and the purchase and inStalla-
ton of household and farm cleo
trical equipment. and pressure wa
ter systems and plumbing.
Loans for farmstead wiring may
include service extensions beyond
the limit allowed as part Of the
distribution lire under standard
REA loans. Administrator Morris
L. Cooke emphasized, in announc-
ing the terms Of this first wiring
loan contract, that the plans and
specifications of individual in
stallatiCns submitted for REA APP
proVal must call for firSt-class
materials and must make adequate
provision Cor possible future eX-
pansion to permit the addition OF
new electrical appliances.
Discussing the &rm- wiring plans
Cooke SAID:
Unity of action will save the
farmers of this country hundreds
Of thousands of dollars in their
wiring alone. The cost of wiring
can be reduced substantially by
cooperative action resulting in a
contractor wiring a hundred OF
mere farmsteads under one con-
tract rather than bidding on each
individual farm.
