JOINT PLAN URGED
AT POWER HEARING

district.
Charts which Bailey had pre-
pared and presented before Com
missioner WhitSell Wednesday,
We're the object of attack. The
charts showed past possible fu-
ture power rates, transmission and
generating facilities, ability TO
serve in the past and future.
Lower Rates
Bailey's conclusions, expressed
Wednesday, included one that the
power company would be able to
retain about half of the competi-
tive business in Imperial Valley
after the All American canal pow
er system is installed. From an.
other chart he concluded that
continued reduction of rates by
the private utility would result
within a few years in rates even
lower than those proposed by the
district.
Engineer Ready, questioning
Bailey, drew the admissions that
Bailey had not made an economic
survey to determine the cause of
rate reductions by the power COM
pany, that he had not compared
reductions in the valley with re-
ductionS elsewhere, and that he
had taken into consideration eX-
isting conditions in reaching the
conclusion that business would be
evenly divided.
How much" asked Ready, has
the threat of competition caused
reductions by the power company
in this territory"
Z don't believe that is material
to this discussionI Bailey an
sWered.
Bailey then was subjected to
barrage of questions involving
comparisons with Vernon, Nodes
to. Turlock and other irrigation
districts which have entered the
power business and taken the lions
share of business. To each queS-
ton he replied that he does not
believe similar corglitions exist
here.
The foundation of the Imperial
Irrigation Districts battle for NUM-
clpal power ownership was revealed
late Wednesday when NJ. J. Dowd,
district superintendent, took ex-
ception to the estimate of Paul
Bailey, power company engineer,
that competitive business will be
divided evenly between the power
company and the district, once
All American canal power is avail
able. Bailey was on the witness
stand
How, asked DoWd had Bailey ar
rived at the conclusion that con
sumers here will divide their bus
ineSs on a SO so basis between the
two distributing agencies? Had he
taken into consideration conditions
existing here, and the necessity
for payments to the government
under the canal contract for con
struction of the project? Did he
Imperial Valley press., 1936-05-14

believe that residents of the valley
would buy electric energy from the
power company, then pay taxes to
cover the cost of the canal?
Bailey replied that, in his opinion,
the consumers of the valley will
buy their power from the agency
which offers lowest rates and best
service. He further declared the
belief that the district will not
be able to pay for the canal on
schedule.
Conclusion Drawn
The clash ended Wednesdays
hearing on high note after Bailey
spent the afternoon explaining
series of charts covering every phase
of past and potential power sales,
consumption and generation. The
power company engineer, who prob
ably will resume testimony under
cross examination Thursday, drew
these conclusions:
That the policy of the Southern
Sierras company in the past Is
years has results in constantly
lowering the selling price of power.
That the reduction during the six
years prior to 1884 was as much
as the total proposed future low
ering by the district in nine years,
1886 TO 1914, inclusive.
That the total reduction during
the 13 years prior to 1884 was two
and a half times greater than the
proposed future lowering by the
district. ...

passed Is a 40 per cent settlement
Touching upon the drainage
lean sought by the district. Rose
wondered if Director w, E. Young
mad not changed to favor the so
per cent plan because the drainage
plan includes II concrete lined
canals in the area where YOUNG
owns 1000 acres Of land. The plan
provides for no other such canals
in the valley. Rose said.
Hewes answered Rose point by
point. The district. ne said. has
pade no offer to give so cents or
the dollar-but he believed that
if such an offer we're forthcoming
from the RFC. it would be an ac-
eeptable one. Before the district
can make an application for refin-
ancing. he pointed out. It must have
the consent Of the bondholderS.
They would not consent. he recalled
20 his listeners. 10 even consider
refinancing at less than IS cents or
the dollar. Unless some refinanclne
rlan is carried through. taxpayers
of the district will be faced with
a burden they cannot carry. he de-
clared. Once a bond levy Is made,
money derived from it cannot be
used except to pay interest and
principal-and the bondholders can
force the district TO make the levy.
Renew Battle
The Il miles of concrete lined
canals in the north-end Hewes eX-
planned. are not a SOP to Director
Young. They were not planned
BY district directors. he said. until
Emil Schram. RFC chief insisted
that some method be found to re-
nabilitate lands in the north end
which were forced out of produc-
ZION by the old North-End Dam
and by sitting up of the Alamo
river.
That's your so-called trade with
Bill Young" Hewes remarked.
Both men went on to renew con-
which have carried them
through numerous battles, and to
attack and counter attack along
new lines The meeting ended
shortly before midnight.
