night when the Occidental Restau,

him 124-9, one stick better than

Second Place Tie
The stars of the night proved to
be Arthur Darling, Perce Wolfe

L. A. MUNICIPAL POWER OFFICIAL
AYERS VALLEY RATES TOO HIGH

Imperial Valley rural customers of
the Southern Sierras Power com
pany who use large amounts of
electric energy each month are sub
Jected to rates which are entirely
out OF line with other parts of the
state and constitute a direct pen
atty on these consumers, according
to an opinion expressed by an Off
clal OF the Los Angeles Department
OF Water and Power after a study
of these rates.
The opinion in question was con
tanned in a letter received recently
from this official by Mark Rose, I'm
perial Irrigation district director
from the Holtville division. This
letter states:
Recently I received rate series
No. of the report of the federal
power commission dealing with rur-
al electric service and showing
monthly bills for stated amounts of
energy used, figured on the basis
OF rates in effect, February /, 1885
I'm looking over the California
section, l found what to me was a
peculiar situation regarding the
rates charged by the Southern Sier-
ra Power company in the Imperial
Valley district.
For instance, in the Palo Verde
and Colorado River Substation dis
trict for 100 XVIII, the charge was
$3.50 per month; for 150 $1O.35; for
$50, $12.85; for 500, $16.85; for 1000,
S4360. That figures out for the
first block, TIC per XVIII; second
block, CSC; third block, 514c; for
the 500 block, 337c while for the
1000 block, we figured $16.85 or
3.37c; for the first 500, the second
500 would cost $2675 or $3.50 per
XVIII.
In the Andrade Substation Dis
trict. the costs of the first four
blocks are the same as in the Palo
Verde while the last block of 1000
XVIII, the cost is $4585. Figuring
with the same rule as used in the
preceding paragraph, we find that
the second 500 in this 1000 block
cost $4,000 against $16.85 for the
first 5000 or 5.8c per XVIII
In the Imperial Valley, eXclud-
ing territories served by Andrade
and Colorado River Substations, the
monthly cost for 100 XVIII is $500 or
&C per XVIII; $50, $3.50 or 5.67c; $50,
$1,000 or 42c; 500, $1450 or 2.9c;
1000, 1880. If we apply the same
rules as used above, we find the sec
ond 500 costs $23.80 against $14.5O
for the first 5000 or 4.76c per XVIII.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-07-23

"In the Coachella Valley, the
costs for the first four blocks is the
same as for Imperial Valley, the
1000 XVIII block costs $21.65 and us
ing our above rule we find that the
second 500 costs $7.13 against
$145O for the first 500 or 1.426c per
XVIII.
TN the Lundy Substation Dis
trict, the rates are the same as in
the Coachella Valley.
These rates, I found on page %,
table 3A, monthly charges-Febru-
ary l, 1885 Based on Four Customers
per Mile In the table further on
in the report showing the charges
based on eight customers to the
mile, the figures are the same as
given above and am wondering
why the Southern Sierras penalize
the large users of electric energy
in your part of the state and why
the California State Railroad Com
mission ever permitted such sched-
ule."
IN commenting on this letter
hose SdlQ, we OIGen 40 uJJle
wondering along these same lines
ourselves. The power company is
continually calling attention to their
so-called rate reductions, which, in
fact, are not general reductions of
benefit to all the people of the val
ley but only to some very few
Their claims as can be seen from
this letter do not hold water.
1T is extremely gratifying to us
in Imperial Valley to know that Off
cials of the municipality owned Los
Angeles Department of Power and
Light are continuing to interest
themselves in our fight to put over
our own power program here in the
valley"

FARMERS HERE
WILL RECEIVE
ACREAGE RATE

Imperial County farmers COOP
Grating in the 1886 Agricultural
Conservation Program will receive
the rate per acre as established
for their farms, for diverting
acreage to soil-conserving crops
and for soil-building practices,
provided the general totals of their
Soil-depleting and sOil-conServing
acreageS meet certain Standards
Farm Advisor Frank BeySchlag
said Thursday.
If farmers have less than spe-
Gifted acreageS in soil-conserving
crops, Or if they plant more soil
depicting crops than they had in
their ooil-depleting base acreageS,
their soil-conserving payments will
be subject to deductions.
The reason that there are de-
ductions is that underplantings of
soil-conServing crops or over-plant-
ings OF soil-depleting crops would
defeat the purpose of the program.
There is nc control of what farm
ers may plant, but if they under
plant Soil-conserving crops or over
plant soil-depleting crops, they
cannot expect to receive full pay
mcntS.
Deductions for having less than
the specified acreages of soil con-
serving crops on the farm will be
computed at IL times the soil
conserving payment for the farm,
times the number Of acres the soil
conserving acreage is below the
specified amount.
The deductions for over-plant-
ing s0il-depleting crops will be the
number of acres over-planted
times the per-acre rate for the
farm.

The reorganization was carried

,that Gains can be paid without

in the old company will be asked

The reorganization Was made
it was explained be-
cause of the fact that premiums
