EPUD reigns at electricty forum
By CAROLYN RAMSAY

One side in a battle over rural
Lane County’s power system
was missing from a forum spon
sored by the League of Women
Voters Thursday night.
Pacific Power and Light didn’t
send a representative to discuss
this Tuesday’s Emerald Peoples
Utilities District bond election.
In the election, voters in rural
Body identified
as 17th victim
ATLANTA (AP) — A medical
examiner on Sunday identified
skeletal remains found Friday as
those of 11-year-old Jeffery
Mathis, the 17th black child to
be found murdered in the At
lanta area in 19 months.
Dr. John Feegel, associate
medical examiner for Fulton
County, said he identified the
body primarily from dental
records.
All of the victims were black,
and all were between the ages
of 7 and 15 years old.
PP&L shuns invitation to debate
Lane County will decide
whether to give EPUD $72.5
million to purchase PP&L’s
generating and distributing
facilities
The two utilities have been
unable to agree on a price for
the system, and EPUD hopes to
obtain it through condemnation
if the bond passes.
EPUD contends that a priva
tely owned utility charges more
for power than a publicly owned
utility, but PP&L contests
EPUD’s claim.
At the forum, league member
Laura Stine said PP&L declined
to attend the forum because the
utility felt it has already informed
the public of its stand on the
issue.
Despite PP&L’s absence,
EPUD board chairer Dick
Eymann, banking consultant
Sam Granberg and engineer
Gale Corson argued the issue
with ex-EPUD board member
Cliff Everett. Everett said he
represented an alternative
viewpoint, not PP&L’s.
EPUD representatives used
charts and figures to argue that
in the long run, if not initially,
energy consumers would pay
less for EPUD-produced elec
tricity.
Everett said instead of taking
over PP&L, EPUD should enlist
help from the Public Utilities
Commission if PP&L’s electrici
ty rates are too high.
EPUD representatives
claimed the public utility could
sell power at rates 5 to 42 per
cent below PP&L’s.
They also claimed voters
would have a say in the man
agement of a public utility.
Audience member Mike
McLain, a PP&L lineman, rebut
ted EPUD’s claim that it would
hire displaced PP&L employees
if the bond passes. McLain said
PP&L employees would stay
with their company and work in
another PP&L-serviced area

Granberg disputed EPUD’s
claim that it can sell power
cheaper than PP&L, saying that
accurate analysis of the rate
system will be impossible until
the public utility is in operation.
