Rural Identification administration
issued retraction of charges he had
made against the Carolina Power
and Light Company, but here's one
to top that
A federally-f financed electric CO.
operative in North Carolina has
adopted a resolution lauding that
same Carolina Power and Light COM
pany for its cooperation
Here is the text of the resolution
adopted by the directors of the
South River Electric Membership
Cooperative:
"Whereas in the organization of
the South River Electric Membership
Cooperative the various officers and
representatives of the Carolina Pow
er and Light Company have dis
played an ever-present Willingness
to cooperate and have rendered help
full advice and assistance which this
cooperative has been constantly
mindful Of,
BE it, therefore, resolved. that
the Board of Directors of the South
River Electric Membership Cooper
ative sincerely appreciate the willing
and harmonious way in which the
officers and representatives OF the
Carolina Power and Light Company
have Given their aid to the problems
which have confronted the organiza-
ton and development of this COOP
erative.'
Were organizing the last cooper
ative in North Carolina tomorrow"
said Dudley Bagley, head of the State
REA.
"Why is it the last one?" your Ra-
leiah reporter asked.
Because I don't see where cleo
we could put one," replied the REA
director.
Looking over progress map in
the REA it is easy to see what Mr..
Bagley meant. There is still much
rural identification work to be done
in North Carolina but it will be in
extending presently existing systems
rather than in organizing new ones.
The state is now covered with a
network of lines operated by one OF
the three agencies-REA co-ops,
utility companies or municipalities
and about all that is left is to fill
in" the gaps.
Actually there are functioning. in
addition to the co-ops which Mr..
Paeley said was to be organized, 70
'electric membership corporations"
or CO-ODs.
When the Federal government put
up the S15O,O00 sought by the LAST
Good (Bmkc-McDoWelD it will
make a total of S8,728,000 allotted to
the rs corporations, which will OPP
crate something more than 5000
miles of line.
