Bonneville Saving Not Great, Claims Ilinman Qnotes Figures of US Agencies to Show Probable Rates People who believe Bonneville dam will bring them electricity at greatly reduced cost are due for disappointment. Salem Lions club members were told yesterday noon by Laurin E. Hinman. executive assistant to Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland General Electric company. Hinman de clared he was talking in terms of engineering facts and not in those of the roay statements of "politi cal engineers." Working from government agencies estimates, Hinman placed cost of electricity at the dam generators under operating conditions at 2.57 mills per kilo watt, hour and quoted Dam Admin istrator J. D. Ross as authority for a calculation that the cost of the same power delivered to Oregon homes would be "about that many cents." To the question, "will we be able to heat our homes electrical ly," Hinman answered in the neg ative as to the immediate future. Your Heating System Boom' House Special Present furnace accepted as down payment. Enjoy Healthful, automatic heat. Economically installed Economically Operated. M BROS. 355 Chemeketa 215 South Commercial Street . - The reason, he said, ts that present types of domestic electric heating systems would consume some 30. 000 kilowatt hours a year In the average five or six-room house. ; Other electrical appliances used la the home would ran the power consumption to 37.000 kilowatts, which he said would cost approxi mately $740 a year. The installa tion' cost alone of an electrical heating system in such a case would cost at least 31734, he de clared. Hinman said his company was pledged to pass on to its consum ers any savings in generating costs in power obtained from Bonne ville if the distribution is bandied through private utilities.
