Power Contract

Directors of the Imperial Valley
Milk Producers association. meet
ing this morning at their Holtville
headquarters, rejected an offer from
the Nevada California electric COM
panv to buy the associations diesel
engines for $4,000. The offer was
conditional upon the association
signing three-year contract to ac-
cept service from the power COM
pany, with rebates of per cent the
first year, six per cent the second

An offer to buy the milk produ-
GERS association diesels for $500
was made by the power company in
January.
Earl Northrop, member of the as
sociation board, told his associates
a contract with the power company

mer.
when the Irrigation District
built two big suction dredges at
Andrade," Northrop said, 1.-The dred-
ges were equipped to be operated
with electricity. The district de-
cidei to use electric power because
it had a long term contract with
the Southern Sierras for power at
IL cent per kilowatt. But in a
short time after the dredging op-
erations began, the power COM
pany applied to the railroad COM
mission for permission to raise
rates, and as result the district
had to pay 2lA cents per kiloWatt,
notwithstanding its contract for
lh cent"
Northrop said the milk producers
group paid $l9500 for its genera
tors and association records show
a saving of $4,000 in power. bills

The board authorized installation
of AN additional generator TO carry
