time that the award can be taken
up not later than May LIST, 1947.
Because of the high income, this
property can be financed at low
rate of interest providing possible
litigation has been disposed of and
connection with the Bonneville
power lines are assured for Pros
ser and Kennewick; also since the
income is out of proportion to the
physical value of the property, it
is necessary for the Bond buyers
to have their engineers and rate ex-
perts make complete analysis OF
the property, not only as it ex-
lists today but for the entire life
of the bonds. This is one of the
projections that the people have in
the purchasing of revenue produc-
ing properties. Revenue bonds
cannot be sold on inflated proper
ty values or inflated revenues.

A new method being tried out
by the Power Companies to pre-

wick. This franchise was prompt
ly granted by the city council and
signed by the Mayor. This fran

panies persist in bringing this up
again this year. e.
Large advertisements are ap-
pearing in all the newspapers
written by an advertising agency
that cares nothing for the truth of
the advertisement and only for the
effect it has on the general public
in discrediting public power.
These advertisements do not state
what XVIII use they are based on
therefore they are worthless for
comparisons. Due to the lower
rates of most of the Public Utility
District their average use for res
idential and farm service is much
higher than the Pacific Power &
Light. The correct answer for 1851
XVIII per year for Public Utility
operations, residential and farm
service, is: Cowlitz county, 1.59
cents per XVIII; Grays Harbor,
ISL cents per XVIII; Skamania,
ISL cents per XVIII; Pacific 1.5l
cents per XVIII; Clatskanie, 1.67
cents per XVIII.
Kittitas, Klickitat and Lewis
counties each have only a small r
EA financed project constructed
to farms where the Power Com
panies said it was improbable to
build. I don't believe that many
of the readers of this article will
say that this is fair comparison
with the rates of Yakima and
Walla Wa1la. The rate of 1.79
cents PER- XVIII as quoted in the
advertisement is the lowest rates
the Pacific Power & Light has and
is for their residential service for
the entire system and does not
contain the rural rate which is
much higher.
Public Utility Districts serve the
rural areas, they are paying fol-
their properties, increasing wages,
paying taxes equal to, or more than
the private companies to City,
State and County, extending their
lines and services, increasing the
use of electricity and are contin-
ually rducing and simplifying
their rates.
It will be necessary for the Ben
ton Public Utility District Com
missioners to make some rate adj
justments in Benton county. We
believe in one rate for town and
country. The elimination of off
peak hot water heating and the
establishing of one meter service

in Wilmington, last night.
The Veterans administration
will make special efforts during
the coming week to obtain addi-
tional training facilities to provide
on-the-job training for veterans un-

Locally to date, Matthews said,
about $50 veterans are receiving

FOR SURPLUS SHIPS
N. c. Shipbuilding Com
pany Is Notified Of Sup
ervisory Control Change

Officials of the North Carolina
company have been
by telegram that the U. S.
Maritime commission will soon as
sumo supervisory control over the
dredging of the 500-ship lay-up
basin for surplus merchant ships
in the Brunswick river, an official
of the sh1pyard disclosed yester-
day.
Current dredging operations in
the Brunswick river by the dredge
Pennsylvania will not be affected
by the switch, it was said.
Previously the Shipbuilding COM
pany had acted as the agent of
the Maritime commission in the
work of preparing the basin. When
the Maritime commission assumes
control of the work, it was in
dicated that the commission will
deal directly with the American
company of Philadelphia,
which has the dredging contract.
Whether the shipbuilding COM
pany will repair and maintain the
ships stored in the basin was not
known yesterday. Although the un-
derstanding has been that ship
building company would prepare
the ships for storage and maintain
them, at an annual cost of ap-
proximately $4,000 per ship, no con-
tract to that effect has been sign
ed, it was said.
Original plans called for the
of surplus ships into the
basin-now 30 to IS per cent COM
plete-before the work was COM
pleted on the huge basin, but so
far no indication has been given
of the probable arrival date OF the
first ships for storage.
Project size of the basin will be
l 200 feet wide, two and three
fourths miles long and 10 to Is
feet deep. Approximately $500, 600
cubic yards of material will have
to be dredged before the basin IS
completed.

FLOOD OF WHEAT
Secretary Feels Sure Farm

For Europe

WASHINGTON, April 27-P)-
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
expressed confidence today that
there will be "a springtime flood"
Of wheat from farms to elevators
for shipment to the hungry abroad
once spring planting chores are
over.
Reporting on his trip to the
wheat belt with UNRRA Director
General Fiorello H. LaGuardla,
Anderson told National Farm and
Home Hour Radio audience that
he believed the governments offer
of bonus of 80 cents bushel for
wheat delivered before May 20 will
result in 1OO,OO0,O00 bushels being
made available for export during
the critical period from now until
July l.
This is approximately the goal
for that period.
But Anderson said 1--WE are
behind our goar' now. 1t will take
the cooperation of grain elevators,
farmers, agriculture department
employees, the Army and the
great host of well intentioned farm
ers,' he added, to attain the 1o0,-

described as an indirect reference
to statement yesterday by Acting
