Friday PoWer-Off
 Marked Change-Over 10 New Transmission Line

New FanSR11RSSi0n Ilne
 All over the Valley this week electric stoves were getting hot at the turn of the switch, electric razors were operating like they do on the commercials, milking machines were going to work without grumbling, and electric light bulbs were burning steadily with an unusual brilliance.
 All this improvement in electric power dates from the short power-off late last Friday after noon, when employees gleefully deserted their darkened offices a few moments before closing time. The outage lasted only about 10 minutes, but in that short time MEA consumers in the Palmer area were changed over to the new transmission line, for which they have been waiting since last December.
 MEA Manager C. A. Brewer said that the power-off came without warning because MEA feared to take a chance on a surprise one of much longer dura- tion once everything was in readi- ness for the change-over. He said that MEA had been drawing l. $50 kws out of 750 kw trans former bank at Eklutna. There was every possibility that the transformer bank might have burned out at peak load and caused a very serious outage.
 Brewer explained that consum- CTS in the Palmer area are now tied directly into the 34 XIV trans mission line of the city of Anch- orage at the old Eklutna plant. A switch will separate the two lines if necessary. Chugiak, Was fila, Fairview, Swamp Lake, Lu- cille Lake, and Matanuska Ex- pertinent Station areas are being served by the old feeder line, but regulation is expected to be good within approximately five per cent, which is excellent accord ing to Stateside standards. The difference is attributed to the cas- ing of the heavy load formerly pulled over it. The rest of the Valley is now served by the new 34 XIV transmission line out of the new Bureau of Reclamation substation at Palmer. The tie-in with the Anchorage power line is purely temporary; MEA custom CTS will be served out of the new Bureau of Reclamation plant at Eklutna when it is completed in 1854.
 MEA is now under contract with the Chugach Electric Asso- citation for it's power. The Valley association now has a base de- mand of 2,500 kws instead of the previous 1000 kws furnished by Anchorage Public Utilities. True, APU still owns the old EkIutna plant from which MEA gets it's juice, but the new CEA-Alaska Railroad plant, which is supposed to get into production with it's first unit of 5000 kws November l, will replace at Anchorage what ever MEA draws from the Eklut- na Plant at approximately the same time.
 Will MEA consumers be abe to use all the electricity they want this winter?
 That's right, said Brewer. MEA

They will visit 275 cities and towns

The drive has been in prepara-
ton more than two months. It is
the most extensive ever under

Bank Testimony Given.
The committee had little success
in getting Inspector Beach to ex-
plain various bank transactions.
Part of the testimony was as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Bauman: On July 6, 1949,
you deposited $3,069.34 in your
savings account at the Hamilton
National Bank in cash. Where
did that come from? ....
A. The deposit was made on
July 6, 1949. There was with
drawal February 4 of 81 900 and a
withdrawal May 10 of $4,000. My
best answer to that would be that
those were loans withdrawn and
repaid within a period of six
months.
@. Inspector Beach, that $4,000,
the one on May 10, 1949, is just
exactly what you told this COM
mittee before that you loaned to
Wyckoff.
A. Start adding.
Queried on July 6 Deposit.
@. I figure you are the one that
better start adding.
A. $1,000 and $4,000 is $4,000, is
it not?
@. Yes, sure it Is. You deposited
$3,069.34 on July 6, 1949. Where
did that cash come from?
A. My recollection would be that
it comes from these withdrawals!
@. Which Withdrawals?
A. $1,000 withdrawal and a part
of the $4,000 withdrawal made
about four months prior.
@. You just told us that $4,000
withdrawal was loaned to Wyckoff.
A. That Is right, and also -
@. I beg your pardon, it was
not repaid to you until the fol-
lowing year?
A. The $4,000, to my best recol-
lection. was loaned to Wyckoff
and as have told for the record,
The sold his car and repaid me
81 600 and he owed me $1,000.
Questioned on Withdrawal.
@ Now, this money was de-
posted on July 6, 1949, and do
understand your claim to be that
on February 4, 1949, you Withdrew
81. 800 which you retained in cash
until July 6. 1949? q,
A. No, that was not withdrawn
to retain in cash.
I @. Do I understand correctly
whether you claim that $1,000
withdrawn on February 4 was a
part of the $3,069.34 which you
deposited on July 6?
A. That would be my best recol-
lection.
@. Now I ask you, was that
money retained in cash from
February 4 until the time you de-
posted it in cash in July?
A. I wouldn't answer that di-
rectly. =.
@. I ask that the witness be
directed to answer. What would
you say about that?
A. / would like to say just what

deposit of $3.O69.34 on July s.?
