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.
