POWER SHORTAGE IMMINENT
j' According to Merrill his company signed a contract with
Hua Bonneville administration along with four other power com-
p^ues calling for a delivery of 11.000 kilowatts in addition to j
tlwlO.OOO kilowatts mentioned above, which takes the place of
Pj®wer purchased under a temporary arrangement from the'
Portland General Electric.
.The situation boils down to a point ^here all power com
panies, l>oth public and private, face the possibility of peak loads
and in some cases overloads during the winter months without
prospects of relief at the present time.
One temporary solution suggested by Mr. Merrill is re
stricted use of non-essential power between the hours of 10.00
a. m and 4 to 6 o’clock in the evening. And it may be possible
to shift certain loads of power to off peak hours and to ask for
curtailment of all non-essential service.

Hall also said he would make no

sioners who resigned at Gov. John

office until he names successors,
probably about Dec. 1.
