Sipe Is (¡nest Lions Squad With Banquet News Briefs of Speaker At Chamber Local Interest Commerce Luncheon Here and There R. C. Sipe of Albany, district manager of the Willamette divi sion of the Mt. Static Power Co., was the giu-st sjx'aker at th«' regu lar meeting of the chamber of commerce Tuesday n«x«n, explain ing some of th«- contemplated im provements in the electric service the company hopes to inaugurate here as soon as conditions will permit. Extemporaneously Mr. Sipe ex plained how the Albany chamber of commerce is operated under a manager's system, doing so at the suggestion of Floyd Githens, presi dent, since there has been consid erable talk here of employing a full time manager. Regarding the electric service here. Mr. Sipe called attention to the fact that the Mountain States Power Co., was unable to buy supplies even four months before Peari Harbor and after the »»art of the war. applications for ad- ditional service or extensions had to lx? made direct to the war pro- duct ion board at Washington and often before the applicant was granted the ruling would be chang ed. necessitating further delay. He said he knew the lines here were often overloaded, but it was a condition that the company sought to prevent, but could not on account of war conditions. Construction of rural lines, which the company were not per mitted to build in 1940 was fin ally turned over to rontractors. Applications for power lines in the rural districts at the beginning of 19-40 were turned down because of a PUC ruling, were later ap- proved when the population ex panded. To correct low voltage, which has given trouble here on several occasions in the past wroks, Mr. Sipe promised the installation of a senes capacilator within the next sixty days, which is designed to regulate the current and insure an even flow of electricity. An or der has also Ixx-n placed for a transformer to step down the cur rent from the 110,000 volt line which passes through here. This would give this locality a two way circuit and would improve the service to some extent. Company officials do not anticipate this im- provement can be made under 18 months, when delivery from the factory can be made. Mr. Sipe said he would not en courage the idea of using electri - city for heat at the present time and doubted it such an undertak- ing generally would be feasible due to the cost. He did not see any prospects of immediate rate reduction on account of present costts, which are far above the 1940 level.
