ELECTRIC SERVICE
AVAILABLE TO 89.2
PCX IN OREGON
Electric service Is at present avail
able t to 89.2 per cent of the total
population of the state of Oregon,
It la shown by a survey Just com
pleted by the Northwest Electric Light
and Power association under the, di
rection of Berkeley Snow, executive
secretary.
Of the 053, 786 people in the state,
qfiO.889 receive service from one of
the 35 private and 12 municipal elec
tric utilities, pr reside within the
nreas served, according to a summary
of tha survey. One hundred and
eighty-six Incorporated communities,
. In which reside 99.6 per cent of the
state's urban population, enjoy elec
tric service. Only 18 of the 204 In
corporated communities of the state
lack such service, and the total pop
ulation of this urban group not hav
ing electricity Is only 1,076.
A high percentage of the residents
of u n icorpora ted communl t les and
rural districts is shown to have elec
tricity available, 265,467 of the 306,
688 population so classified living
within areas provided ' with utility
service. Of the people residing in
rural territory served, 261,917 are on
or near the lines of private companies
and 3,550 are on the lines of muni
cipally owned utilities.
The one-tenth of the state's popu
lation that do not have" electric ser
vice available within reasonable dis
tance are scattered over approximate
ly nine-tenths of the state's area, the
survey finds.
Private companies serve 176 Incor
porated and 237 unincorporated com
munities and operate 7,098 miles of
transmission and distribution lines,
according' to their reports. Municipal
plants serve 10 incorporated and six
unincorporated ' communities And
operate 124 miles of lines. Two small
government systems, at Crater Lake
and the Oregon Caves, are Included
in the report.
Purpose of the survey was to gather
together factual information regard
Oregon, according to Mr. Snow. De
Ing the extent of electric service in
sired information was received from
all the major companies and although
reports from some of the small com
panies and municipal plants were in
complete the omissions are too slight
to affect the summarized results, Mr.
Snow stated.
A copy of the survey lias been pre
sented to the Oregon state Bonne
ville dam commission, the state hy
droelectric commission, state planning
boiird, state engineer and others.
