DECISION DUE
Committee Vi!l Report on
Question of State ;
. Owned System
Decision within the- next fw
, weeks Is expected In the question
of a central power plant for. the
; Oregon state penitentiary, where
electrical energy wonld Jse prorid
. 4.'.or. the rarions Institutions of
the state. For several months .a
-committee appointed by GoTcmor
. ' Meier,- following the adjournment
otVthe-Jegisl&ture-, .has . been at
work. Figures submitted to the
committee it i meeting held In
Salem during the . week - showed
that .the-cost ot proYiding- elec
tricity for the three largest state
institutions here amouned to $65--
.. vuw annually. This Item include
fuel, labor and all . other etfsts i of
" operation; . '. ; - ; - j
The law-authorising the "con
struction of ! the central power
plant was passed at the IS 31 leg
islatlve session, - but no provision
was made for an appropriation, to
" defray the cost of the project.! It
wa argued by legislators that
.; some way might be found to con
struct the plant, and pay the cost
. thereof out , of the annual earn
ings. . Governor . Meier ; announced,
recently that no difficulty would
; be encountered la financing the
project, provided-that the return
. would be sufficient to retire the
. warrants and take caTe of the In
terest . .r;V ' i '
. Conilct Lbor Mjr
Be Used, .Suggested
-' The argument also was ad-
Tanced that such a plant could be
operated with convict labor, and
that the expense of - maintenance
would be small. There are now a
half dozen electricians In the pen
itentiary, who could .be used In
maintaining" ' the 1 tstinsmission
j - lines-and other technical work. '
The records show that the pen
itentiary Is the heaviest user' of
electrical energy of any state In
stitution. This is accounted for by
the fact that the state operates a
flax plant .at the prison, and has
numerous other industries which
demand electrical energy.
The state - hospital . which
, oeprates a large laundry and
other smaller Industrie, also
uses a large amount of electricity.
Both of these. Institutions would
receive their electrical energy
if from' the central power plant; at
the penitentiary.
Assemble Data On, :
! Machinery Cost J
Figures are now being assem
bled by t the committee- r to de
termine the cost of . purchasing
the necessary machinery. It was
said-that the cost of the -building
would be nominal. Rufus C. Hol

Is interested in the project, it was
reported. The committee is being
assisted in its" investigations by
William EInilg. secretary of the
state-board of control.wbo- haa
had considerable experience in the
operation of power plants. Einzig
has-insisted that the cost of elec
trical energy used by the "state be
reduced, j ; - "5-v- V?:-
