Folks. have been SO busy foolin
around the ranch that l haven't
been in the office much the last
week. I walked into an argument
the other day on who should sell
the city power. OF course, they
yelled What's your opinion?' l
said a municipality located in
district where the district owns the
power. should buy from the dis
trict If they are charged too much
they should register a complaint
with the district board. Then if
they are not treated right they
should do all in their power to
oust the board. For a city located
in a district where the people own
a power company, were they to
buy power from a private power
company, in my opinion they would
be committing slow suicide. Be all
the same as a private power co.
buying power from the district to
light their buildings and loading
sheds, their stockholders wouldn't
stand for it. Neither would the peo-
pie who are the stockholders of the
district power But on the other
hand the council should give the
private power co. a respectful hear
ing, for they are a large taxpayer
in the city and any taxpayer in my
opinion is entitled to a respectful
hearing before the city council. Ell
Centre has always stood behind
the districts power program and
in my humble opinion this council
will be ready to use district power
when the time comes.
I'll be seein' you.

Considering that the automotive

express the degree TO which the en-
