a majority of the commission, to con-
tract with the Dixon-Yates combine
in order to provide power for the IVA
service area. This White House order
to one independent agency to assume
the responsibilities of another is
dangerous political innovation. which.
If not repudiated. would threaten the
: integrity of our Federal agencies.
Your editorial likewise reveals some
misapprehensions about the IVA power
system. The taxpayers do not foot the
bill for the power produced by IVA
and purchased for use in the area. The
Government owns the IVA power
, system and the Treasury advances the
money for capital investment. But the
consumers of power provide funds
which are adequate to pay all the costs
of the operation, including deprecia-
tion, make in-lieu tax payments to
State and local governments, and. In
addition. provide rate of return
which has averaged over per cent
on the investment during Twas life.
BY any definition such an operation
is not subsidized Modest profits are
realized, portion reinvested in the
system.~a part returned in cash to the
Federal Treasury, in amounts which
must repay the Federal investment In
every project over forty year period
There have been national benefits
from IVA in addition to these cash
payments to the Treasury over and
above the national benefits Of a sounder
economy in this important region. One
of these national benefits has been a
reduction in the power bills of the
Federal Government itself. In the case
of Acc such savings amount to many
millions every year. and they should
be considered when any appraisal of
IVA is undertaken. For the taxpayer
pays the cost of power to Acc.
In the case of Dixon Yates the tax
payer will pay in Aces power bills all
the costs of constructing and operating
the plant, if the plant is ever built
The taxpayer will provide the funds for
State. local. and even the Federal taxes
to be paid by the company. The tax
payer will in the end provide about
twice as much money under the Dixon
Yates ARRANGEMENT as he would have
provided if IVA had been permitted to
build the Fulton plant, for which this
remarkably extravagant substitute is
proposed by the administration.
Your editorial reveals an incomplete
understanding of the background OF
IVA It is true that IVA is now the
sole source Of power supply for its serv-
ice area. monopoly position which
is likewise characteristic Of private

The differences between the Aces

True, the EEL contract has turned out
to be wasteful and extrawagant for the

similarity with Dixon Yates. Never

decision to accept EEL as power

which authorized iva to purchase the
generating facilities OF certain power
companies then serving the area settled
that question. It is true, of course,
that more steam generated power is
coming on the IVA system. That is in
large part due to the expansion Of Acc
facilities in the area. But the purposes

hope you understand that many of
us who care deeply about the future
of IVA are likewise concerned about
responsible government. We deplore
situation in which it appears that Acc
has been diverted from its important
responsibilities to be thrust into posi-
ton of acting as an agent for the pri-
vate power industry which has fought
IVA since its inception, and which now

The present snowfall reminds us
of the old days when eight or ten
men would go to the Harman mill
pond to gather the seasons crop of
ice. Then they found several
inches of snow on the ice but il
hindered them but a little. They
kept the ice on the slide toward
the icehouse nearby and soon fin
ished the job. One time, however,
Harry Hall, a gatherer broke
through the ice and got the cold
bath, but he was soon fished out
and sent home to dry out.
Lots of travel while snow covers
the ground but nobody has heard
any sleigh bells din the prevalence
of snow. This is so different from
the former days when the jingle of
the sleigh bells was heard on any
road, both day and night and
everybody was out for a smooth
ride.

commanding officer of the State
Road Troop, Delaware State Police,

tirement.
A local gunner says the way to

great surprise he discovered 155-

fence, and that meant lot of deer
meat for he and his family. He
adds that this trip to hunt deer
was the easiest one he ever had.
We are glad to see Mr.. Craw-
