X Study the Above Chart It represents tho dollar you pay for Light and Power In Union and llaker counties anil Just how It Is divided in covering the expenses of operation of the Eastern Oregon Light & Power Company in these two counties. ' : , Much of It Gomes Back To You! For the year 1932 the EASTERN OREGON LIGHT & POWER COMPANY expended for its op-erations in Union and Baker coun ties the sum of $389,985. Of this total the following sums were spent directly or indirectly back in what might be termed "pocket book helps" for our consumers in these counties. $127,061 RETURNED IN PAYROLLS This is the total sum received by E. 0. L. & P. company employees as salary for services dur ing; the 1932- year. All employees are residents of and many own their own homes in Union or Baker counties. $58,220 RETURNED IN LOCAL TAXES This is the sum of the tax bill of the E. O. L. & P. company, paid the past year into the public coffers of Union and Baker counties and then" cities and towns. One of the largest individual tax payments made to either of these counties and a sum, as it is used, that covers in itself entirely the cost of many necessary governmental offices that would other wise have had to be paid by increased tax upon other private properties. . ... $57,251 IN REPAIRS, RENTALS, Etc. The great bulk of this total is spent with contractors, business firms and property owners of Union and Baker counties and eventually, through these channels, much finds its way into other payrolls. $26,007 FOR MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES Although local facilities and stocks are not always adequate to take care of all needed mate rials and supplies, every item that is available, and that is a great portion, is bought from business or supply firms of the two counties.' $11,563 FOR PROPERTY EXPENDITURES Like materials and supplies, all of this sum possible was expended locally. Considerable of this amount goes for labor, which is entirely local in its distribution. A total of $280,102 returned directly or indirectly to the ad vantage of the continued progress of Union and Baker county communities in which we operate More than two-thirds of our company's yearly revenue in dollars comes back in one way or another to those who spend them with us.
