ment.
The conference called by OPM
officials at the national capital re-

and extension OF service by public
power plants. o'Neil said. He
added priorities officials warned
that the public power systems
would have to tighten their belts
to some extent.
Hardest hit will be rural cleo
trification because OF the greater
use OF materials for each extension
TO a new customer.
Some Delay Probable
He said there may be some de-
lays in getting materials for the
Nisquslly project but all fears
that the projects priority might
be cancelled were sllsyed. He was
encouraged to learn that the water
turbines which Tacoma Light has
ordered for the Nisqus1ly project
will not run into the heavy jam of
orders which manufacturers have
for steam turbines, a result of ex-
pansion of power in the eastern
coal-power belt.
The Tacoma utilities chief called
upon Senator Homer T. Bone while
