DEAR SIR:
On June 9th you presented to
our board a written proposal by
your company of the same date,
relative to the development ana
distribution of electric power in
Imperial Valley. After your verb
al discussion, our beard promised
that an answer would be given
your company within a thirty day
period. 1t is to be regretted that
before receiving this answer your
company commenced newspaper
propaganda which is nature such
as to not assist in any possible
settlement which might be made
and certainly it is not in accord
with what you claimed to be the
spirit of the proposal of your
company.
Our board has given serious con-
sideration to the proposal OF your
company and find that it is not
acceptable upon the basis laid
down. Several years ago our board
initiated a program for the de-
velopment and distribution of
electric power by the district and
considerable progress has been
made in carrying it out; it is not
the intention of this board TO
in any way deviate from the course
which has been laid out.
However, our board is willing to
negotiate a settlement OF the en-
tire power controversy with your
