day. The municipal plant has no
contracts with consumers, serving
them the length of time the Serv-
ice is desired, Dowd pointed out.
DoWd expressed the opinion the
people will not be fooled by what
he termed the "ruse' OF the South
ern SieTras power company in
binding consumers to use of the
cCmpany'S power by long term
contracts hinging upon sale of
electrical appliances at low inter
est rates over long periods OF
time. Local dealers in the valley,
he said, offer almost aus good
terms on electrical appliances.
1t is interesting to note" Dowd
said. that the company is asking
three per cent interest on appll-
ances. Many times in hearings
before the railroad commission.
the company has insisted on inter-
est as high as eight and ha1
Der cent. This shows that the
power company IS willing 10 go
10 almost any length to defeat
the people because they know that
if they do that they will be able
10 make up the losses by changes
IN rates at a later date.
Would Buy System
The district is willing Dowd
continued TO cooperate with the
company even to the extent OF
buving its system. The system Is
an old one. patched and outmoded.
The district. however, is willing To-
buy after a fair appraisal mas
been made by disinterested par
ties. The people deserve to nave
a fair price fixed on the system
Bonds needed to launch the dis
trict's complete power program
Dowd added, will not mean a our-
den on the land, but will be pald
for out oi the sale OF power.
