'CounciImen Hear
Offers TO Furnish
Municipal Power
tContinucd from Page Il


ing over a long period of time,
"Fawcett said and members of the
board concurred verbally.
Formal offers were made or re-
peated by William Mccullough of
Nev-Cal and Steve Harris of the
district. Mccullough outlined an
offer made last summer whereby
the city would receive a 81 rate on
all city business if a three year
contract was signed.
AT this time on behalf of New
Cal I wish to reSubmit the offer,
withdrawing the three year clause,
MCCULLOUGH said. offering the city
the 81 rate on day to day basis.
This will mean an $1,000 to $4,000
year saving.
In case the council does not
accept our offer, l wish to state
that we feel entitled to at least
a part of the business and it would
be only an engineering problem to
share the load In that event, New
Cal is ready to offer a l.2 rate for
its share"
After pointing out that the dis
trict offer of IL for the city's blSi-
ness is available on either contract
or month to month basis, Harris
touched on the controversial back
ground for the power bids.
Regarding the difference be-
tween the Nev-Cal offer and the
district offer. l wish to state that
the district claims credit for any
and all power rate reductions. In
the competition for this load the
strategic Importance is such that
it is not a question of dollars with
Nev-Cal. Money would not count
compared with the prestige of hav-
ing the load of the valleys largest
city"
Harris pointed out that the city
would be qualified for a six pei
cent average reduction over three
year period under district regula-
tionS which apply to all large power
users Mccullough courtered that
similar reductions are available
through Nev-Cal.
The present contract held by
Nev-Cal provides IL rate for the
pumping plant load. which includes
the city owned street lights main
SandalWood and Wensley), the city
hall, library and fire hall. Other
city accounts such as the ball park
the city garage, the EaStSide fire
hall and various lights are paio
for at regular power rates consider
ably above the IL rate.
Briefly, the district offer is tt
supply all these loads at IL anc
the Nev-Cal offer is to supply
them all at 81. In adjourning unit

Rebel troops under Gen. Juan
Vague advanced up the Mediter-
ranean coastal highway, south of
Barcelona, past the village of Gava,
which is seven miles by direct line
from the capital. That meant, the
rebel headquarters at Burgos said,
that Nationalist artillery had the
busy Barcelona harbor and the
main part of the city within range
at noon.
Yague's troops then pushed along
the highway toward the river Llo-
bregat, which at that point. is only
three miles from Barcelona but is
so wide that crossing it against
Loyalist defense lines might be
costly or impossible.
AS result, the Franco troops
sought to maneuver around the
LoyaliSt defense line in order to
break it and clear the way for
Yague's men to cross. To do that,
they circled Martorell 10 miles to
the north of Barcelona, and also
on the river Llobregat
South of the town-still held by
Loyalists-the Rebels reported that
they had crossed the river, smash
ed through Loyalist defenses and
were moving southeastward down
the eastern bank of the river on
