After reServing whatever power
it needs for desilting, drainage, and
pumping, the District would sell
the surplus from these plants to
Nev-Cal for distribution over Cali
fornia, Arizona, Nevada, and Mexi-
| co.
Because it agrees to pay for the
power more than twice the price
of Boulder Dam power, Nev-Cal will
pay the District some $35,000000.
Pay For Canal
With this $35,000,000 the District
can easily pay off its $28,710,00o
All American Canal debt, its ST.
$4,000 loan, its annual power op-
Grating expenses, and still have
money left for reducing district
taxes. This arrangement will re-
duce by $50 the present indebted
ness of the district.
Other points in the Nev-Cal Of
fer are that the Power Company
will buy the Districts Diesel plant
at Brawley, thus giving the Dis
trict considerable cash for reduC-
tlon OF next year S taxes.
Electrify Farms
100000 will also be spent by
Nev-Cal in practically completing
the electrification of valley rural
areas. Officials claim that this
part of the proposal makes it un.
necessary for the District to vote
the 100000 REA bonds for doing
only part of the work.
Replying to the Nev-Cal May
offer, District officials pleaded tina,
while the proposal might be de.
Sirable, PWA terms prevented the
bond money from being used foi
building the hydro plants.
Objection Met
1t was to meet this objection that
Nev-Cal last Friday night agreed
to advance the money for con-
structing the plants, by matching
the $1,242,O00 PWA grant and ST..
$4,000 loan.

THE only conclusion possible.
says the committee in its report,
lis that rates must be high enough
to pay the cost of operating two
systems, retiring the bonds with in
terest, and paying the cost of the
canal"
Dangerous Wires
Since most highways, alleys, and
streets already are lined on boLn
sides with telephone, telegraph, anG
power lines, to build another COM
plete power system such as is ill.,
volved in the present District plan,
means in every town a maze Of
dangerous, unsightly, and dnneces-
sary high voltage wires, reports
the committee, which then goes
on to say:
THE cost to result from such
a duplicate power system will ul-
timately result in higher rates
than would be possible to single
agency operating with half the
investment and serving the entire
business through one organiza-
ton"
Poor Figuring
Attaching what it calls poor
figuring of District officials" the
committee points out that last year
the Nev-Cal collected from its Val
ley electric users approximately
100000. The power company has
tied up by long-term contracts
approximately two-thirds of its
valley load. Yet with but about
one-third of this business open to
competition, the District claims il,
can pay operating expenses, fixeo
charges, and still be able to meet
the canal payments. This is i'm
possible on its face.
Higher Taxes or Rates
Even if the District got all the
valley business, including that OF
the Imperial Ice and Development
company, a Nev-Cal subsidiary, il
is very doubtful if it can meet pay
ments without high rates, high
taxes, or BOTH" concludes the COM
mittee.

enough to guarantee repayment of the power bonds
