CONFAB WILL
DECIDE PARK
FOR COUNTIES

Supervisor Hugh T Osborne and
Horticultural Commissioner B. A.
Harrigan will attend a meeting
Saturday at Riverside OF the Cali
fornia County Planning Commits
sioners' association, on which oc-
casion a discussion will be held
respecting conservation of desert
areas and surveys of desert vege-
tation and desert park develop
ment in Southern California.
The Imperial Valley men will
urge, if possible, the creation of
ANA State Park in eastern San
Diego county, reaching as far
westward as Coyote Mountain, Fish
Creek Mountain, Carriso Greek and
Carriso Stage Station. Congress
man George Burnham has endeav-
ored to have the area set apart as
a state park, connecting the exist
ing state parks Of Borego and
Cuyamaca and making continu-
Gus one million acres of pleasure
and recreational area.

Private Power Company Official Makes
Admission Fauoring Municipal Ownership

IF cities and states own and
operate highways, schools, streets,
sewers and water supply, why not
electric power plants? To be logi-
cal, private ownership should at
least have designed means to sup
ply water"
The above words are taken from
a letter written by J. B. Sheridan,
onc-time director of the Missouri
committee on public utility inform
alton In this letter the power trust
official becomes extremely conf
dental with a fellow officer of the
private power interests and con-
fessed that he saw no reasons Why
municipalities or other public dis
tricts could not avail themselves Of
the opportunity TO operate power
plants for their own advantage.
At recent meeting of the I'm
pcrial Irrigation district board Of
directors this letter was brought
to the attention Of board members
during their discussion of the pow
er development and distribution
program approved by them for the
district.

lision. Both received injuries and
were taken to Yuma for treatment.
The extent Of their injuries could
not be determined as they were
taken from the scene of the wreck
before officers arrived.
Before the damaged automobiles
could be removed from the pave
mcnt, according to John Meadows,
California Highway Patrolman, an
automobile driven by l.. r. OS-
borne of GA Imperial avenue,
Braxley, crashed into one Of them
and propelled it 1875 feet, Meadows
said. Osborne was said to have
received only slight injuries.
Inquest for Bliscoe will be held
in Winterhaven Saturday.
Mrs. Leroy Foster of Calexico is
in an Indio hospital for treatment
injuries received in an automobile
accident which occurred near IndiO
nine miles beyond the Imperial
boundary line Tuesday. Her right
ankle is fractured and several teeth
were broken, according to Colonel
Foster, her husband, who was slight
ly injured in the same accident.
Haruro Koono, who also was in
Imperial Valley press., 1936-01-31

Much interest was shown in
Sheridan's comment and the dis
trict board felt that this power
trust official merely acknowledged
the fact that municipalities are able
to operate power plants just as
successfully as they have conduct
ed other public necessities, Other
comments of this writer led also
to the further conclusion that he
believed public service OF power
gives complete satisfaction to con-
Sumers.
1t was the opinion OF board
members in a statement issued fol-
loving the meeting that complete
dietribution of All American canal
power by the district is just as
logical a procedure as IS that OF
distributing water from this canal
to the ranchers and other residents
Of the district. Furthermore, says
this statement, such distribution
would be a great saving to con-
sumers because OF lower rates ana
better service.

tribute power from the All Amer
lean canal at less cost to itself, and
therefore at lower rates, than can
the Southern Sierras company.
High Operating Cost
The interlocking system of the
power company, including trans
mission lines from Mono and Inyo
counties, and service to other areas.
as we'll as tie-inS with other COM
panieS for standby purposes, caus-
es a higher operating cost, the
Witness inferred.
1T Is reasonable to conclude that,
baSically, the development of All
American canal power by the dis
trict will be to the material ad-
vantage of Imperial and Coachella
Valleys, being particularly reflect
ed in reduced rates and increased
revenue to meet district obliga-
tions." Ready's report said.
The cost to the district of sup
plying the entire power load re-
quired in Imperial and Coachella
Valleys would be less than the cost
of similar service by the power
company by between S235,000 and
100000, the engineer stated. An
increased power load would make
the difference greater, he added,
in favor OF the district. These IL
cures do not include profits on
distribution Of power, but repre-
sent only the difference in cost OF
electrical energy delivered TO main
Sub-StationS.
Tables of Costs
Ready's report included tables
of costs. Southern SierraS' earn
ings, estimated Boulder Dam pow
er costs. capacity of All American
canal plants, estimated cost OF
power from transmission lines and
substations in Imperial and Coach
ella Valleys, and estimated cost OF
power FROM the All American can
al project.
A summary of comparative costs
was included, beginning with cost
Cf delivery of 69,000,000 kilowatt
hours a year, with the average
taken from the 1933-34 load Of the
power company. The power COM
pany cost as determined by Ready
is S661, 400, or .00973 per kilowatt
hour. This cost, revised to reflect
the claim of A B. West, Southern
Sierras president, that capital ded-
icated to service in the two valleys
exceeds Sl1, 100000, totals l1,4OO,
or .O119 per kilowatt nour.
In contrast, delivery by the dis
trict of the same number of kilC-
watt hours under the All Amer
ican canal project with PWA fl
nancing would cost $427,700, OF
.OO63 per kilowatC hour, with op-
Grating costs, interest amortiza-
tiCn and replacement included.
Cost of Delivery
The cost of delivery OF 9670O,000
kiloWatt hoars under the combined
present supply and minimum Boul-
der Dam obligation Of the South
ern Sierras company as determined
Imperial Valley press., 1936-01-31

by Ready. would be $87l,000, or
.OO9O2 per kilowatt hour. Increased
to reflect Vests claim, it would
be $1,O2l, l,OGO, or .Ol058 per kilowatt
hour
Under the All American canal
project, the cost of the same ser
vice to the district would be S421,-
700 or .0O442.
Cost of delivery of l17000OOO
kilowatt hours a yeaI under the
col;lbined present lead and the
maximum of Boulder Dam power
to the Southern Sierras would be
So32. 400 or .00797 per klloWatt
hour. as determined by the engin-
eer. or S1.O82 400 C00927 per kllo-
watt hour, as increased to reflect
Vests claim. To the district the
cost of the same load under the
canal project would be S4277Oc, OF
.OO365 per kiloWatt hour.
Imperial Valley would have been
much better off if the Southern
Sierras oPwer company had never
constructed a transmission line m
to the valley. superintendent M
J. Dowd O fthe irrigation district
told railroad commissioner, ThurS-
day afternoon.
The charge came at the climax OF
\ snjrited exchange of words be-
tween Dowd and General Counsel
Henry w. Coil of the Southern 81
erras. while Coil was questioning
the district representative at a
hearing here into the power COM
pany's request for permission to
construct lines into rural areas as
an experiment.
Actually, the hearing will deter.
mine if the railroad commission Will
rescind its order, granted at prl-
vate hearing, allowing the power
company to build lines in rural
areas without requiring a deposit
payment from the consumer to
whom service is made possible.
Continuous Clash
The clash between DoWd ano.
the. Southern Sierras attorney was
almost continuous from the time
Coil took over questioning. DoWd
sufficient economic juStltl I o n,
from the standpoint of the valley,
for the Southern Sierras to run a
line 457 miles to bring electricity
here. He described early plans OF
the district to construct power plants
on the canal system.
These plans we're started in 1922
or before" Coil remarked, "anG
here it is 1886. Why hasn't the dis
trict developed power?'
You know as we'll as l. DoWd
retorted
Pressed by Chief Counsel Harry
w. Horton of the irrigation district
for an explanation, for purposes
Of the record Dowd explained that
litigation kept alive by the power
company has prevented develop
ment.
Valley Better Off
Under further Questioning by CCll
the district superintendent declared
that The valley would have been bet
ter off if the Southern SierraS had
not entered the field.
And the valley would have been
without power now Coil stated.
DoWd answered that public deVel-
Opmcnt of power resources would
have been expanded to take care
Of all needs.
Dowd occupied the witness stand
during a large part of the afternoon
session. before the hearing adjourn
ed, to be taken up again at $50 am
Friday.
AS the hearing continues, the
power company will be allowed to
present its own evidence to back
up the application for permission to
nullify a rule in its operating con-
tract The rule provides that the
power company requires deposit
before extending service into un-
served rural areas Under the order
at stake in this hearing, no such
deposit would be required
