Mac hines. president of the West Coast Power company which is report edly purchasing the Peoples Water and Gas company- appeared at the meeting witn assurances that his company will supply an adequate system or the utility will be offered for sale to the city at a reasonable price. Nc Ground of IliaeaMian Manager Barney, who was companied at the Salem meeting by City Attorney Paul Patterson and Council President Anna L. Wells. declar«?d. however, that the city has no ground of difference or discus sion with the West Coast Power company and Monday issued the following public statement: "To date, city officials must feel that Hillsboro is dealing with the Peo- pies Water and Gas company as this city has been given no defi nite assurance that the water utili ty here is to be transferred to any other company. "It was not the city's intention to discuss the water situation here with the West Coast Power cim- pany until such time a-s this com- par.y definitely represents th« Hillsboro utility." Purchase Announced Purchase of the Peoples Water and Gas company was announced here some weeks ago and t.ie uUli-. ty management transfer is r«*port- edly to take place on January 1. Meanwhile. T. O Russell, chief engineer for the utility commission, mailed Manager Barney a copy of the following memorandum to Commissioner Ormond R. Bean: Dear Mr. Bean: I beg to submit our understand ing of ths conference this morning in this office, with representatives of the City of Hillsboro and the Commissioners staff, relative to procedure in regard to the acquisi tion by West Coast Power company of t.ie water system of Peoples Water & Gas company in Hills boro.
