YUMA POWER PLANT
HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
SELLS NEV,-CAL
SURPLUSPOWER
TO DISTRIBUTE
Reclamation Bureau
Says Pumping Costs
Reduced OUer 50 Pet.

No matter how the people
vote on June 16, there will
be at least one hydro plant
on the All-American Canal
which will sell its surplus
power to the Nev-Cal.
The first drop in the canal is
where the Yuma Canal takes off
from the All-American. Here will
be located the Siphon Drop Plant,
which now uses the Yuma Canal.
but will be reconstructed SO as to
use the All-American waters.
Ever since it was constructed in
1926, the Siphon Drop plant has re-
served what power it needs for
pumping on the Yuma project and
has then sold its surplus power to
the Nev-Cal for distribution.
Commenting on the Siphon Drop
plant, George o. Sanford, Gener-
al Supervisor of Operations and
Maintenance for the Bureau of
Reclamation, in a recent speech
said:
THE Siphon Drop power plant
on the Yuma project reduced by
more than 500 the cost of power
for drainage pumps on the Valley
Division and irrigation pumps on
the Yuma Mesa.
This plant has been highly prof
liable due largely to the favorable
contract with the Southern Sierras
Power company (now the Nev-CaD
which has found market for all
surplus energy available. The net
revenues have been considerably in
excess of the installments neces-
sary to repay the cost of the pow
er plant"
If the political power bonds are
defeated on June 16 and the Nev-
Cal $35,000,000 offer is accepted, the
Imperial Irrigation District will ham
die its power in the same manner
as does the Yuma District. After re-
serving whatever power it needs for
it's own pumping, dredging, desilt-
ing, and drainage, the District will
sell its surplus power to the New
Cal for distribution over three
states and Mexico at a price that
is two to three times that paid for
power at Boulder Dam.

Nev>Cal Offer Found Bin
COMMISSION
CANNOT ALTER
nee CONTRACT
High Price Paid for
Canal POUer wiz Not
Raise Electric Rates

That the Nev-Cal is legal
ly bound to carry out its $685.
100000 offer if it is accept
ed by the Irrigation District
was expressed today by At
torney Henry w. Coil in a
written opinion sent to A. B.
West, President of the Ne
vada California Electric.
Coil also pointed out that the
California Railroad Com m S S / OF
cannot under law change any con-
tract entered into between the Dis
trict and Nev-Cal, ami that the
power company cannot raise its
rates to justify any high price it
pays for canal power.
1T is a familiar rule of law"
said Coil, that a binding offer
has been made by the offer of one
party and the acceptance by the
other party. How can this be ques-
toned, particularly, in view of the
fact that it is precisely in this
manner, and no other, that the
Board of Directors of the District
propose to contract with PWA?"
Coil then revealed how the whole
PWA bond contract is based on
letter by the PWA Administrator
dated March l6, 1886. He pointed
out that in its call for an election
the District states that the propos-
ed contract with PWA is to be
made by an acceptance Of the Of
fer contained in said letter" Thus
in contracting with The Nevada
California Electric Corporation, the
procedure is exactly the same in
each case, viz, by acceptance of a
written offer.
After studying the offer made to
the District by Nev-Cal, Coil found
that the offer has been duly au-
thorized by its (the Nev-CaD Board
of Directors and the acceptance
thereof by the Directors would con-
stitute binding contract"
In his written opinion Coil points
out that the California Railroad
Commission can control the price
at which power is sold, but cannot
change any contract providing for
the purchase of power. Thus New
Cal must pay the District the high
rate of mills for firm power and
IL mills for secondary if its offer
is accepted, for according to the
legal expert: THE contract here
involved is not a contract to sell
electric energy to the public, but
a contract to buy energy and is in
the same category as contract
to buy fuel oil to be used in gen.
Grating steam-electric energy. OBJ
viouSly, the commission could not
affect the rights of the oil COM
pany selling the OIL"
Not only must Nev-Cal live up
to any contract it enters into with
the District. but it must charge
reasonable rates, even though it
pays the District a high rate for
its power, rules Coil. Rates and
charges must be fair and reason
able and when they are not, the
Commission is given power to ad-
just them"
The effect of this is that if it is
apparent Nev-Cal is paying too
much for it's Canal power it will
be forced TO take part of its pay
ment out of what would otherwise
go to it's stockholders, and in no
case can Nev-Cal make up for its
high Canal payments by charging
the valley power users high rates.
Climaxing his opinion, Coil points
out that several other irrigation
districts in California have been
selling electric energy to utility
companies under long term con-
tracts and without fear of any in
fringement by the Railroad Com
mission"
Imperial Valley press., 1937-06-10

If revenues from q competing
power system is not sufficient to
meet obligations, how will the defi-
cit be met except by increased cost
of power to the consumer? A vote
for District power distributing
system is vote for higher power
costs to the consumer in the long
run.
