The report dealt with the feasi
bility of the project which would
Include Tinually all ot the settled
pertioa of Linn eonnty with the
exception of Albany. ' - "
The area t has an estimated
population of 23,000 and an as
eased ralaation of $18,020,815.
Cost of a ciatribntion system ade
quate to scire the territory "was
estimated at iszi.ooo.
: Costs Are Estimated
Annual costs, Inelndlnc Inter
est, amortization of tbe bonded
debt, depreciation, operating ex
penses and purchase of power
were estimated on two bases, one
the life of bonds extending orer
a period of 24 years and the other
SO years. . An interest rate ox
ner cent was assumed.
The total annual costs Jot the
. 21 year bonds were estimated at
$218,120 for the first four years
and $24,497 from the fifth to
24th years. On the basis ot the
36-year bonds, the total annual
cost for the tint four years would
be $211,900 and from the fifth.
to the 30th years $231.0$$. An
nual rerenue was estimated at
$280,170. Taxes were estimated
at $1S,$42 annually. '
Load Increase Possible
' "An analysis of the annual eost
! and - annual rerenue would indi
cate Jthat under the conditions as
sumed for this report there would
be little Immediate! reduction In
rates," the statement read.
The surplus would range from
$33,000 ; to $49,000 depending
upon the length of the amortiza
tion period.
: iThe report concluded that the
projected distribution system has
capacity for a considerable load
increase without Increasing con
struction or operating costs and
would result in reduced rates In
being able to furnish additional
energy with nominal additional
cost to the consumer.

and brought to the zore tne
French-Italian territorial quarrel.
Premier Mussolini was expected
to throw some light on this prob
lem in a speech scheduled for
Sunday.
Britain meanwhile was con
fronted with mounting conserva
tive clamor for conscription and
an all-party government ia the
face of Prime Minister Chamber
lain's thus far unsuccessful ef
forts to raise a "halt Hitler" front
ia Europe.
The British plan for a four
power anti-Hitler declaration by
Britain, France, Soviet Russia and
Poland struck a snag when the
latter balked.
The Warsaw newspaper Express
Poranny, considered a mouthpiece
of the Polish foreign office, said
Poland would not permit herself
to be dragged Into any bloc
presumably against Germany
and would refrain from forming
any blocs on her own hook.
Warsaw political circles con
sidered this as tantamount to re
jection of the British sponsored
plan.
It was expected, however, that
France, a long standing friend
of Poland, would try to use her
influence on Poland.
Hitler rounded out 10 days of
achievement unparalleled in his
career when he returned to Ber
lin after taking pint-sised Memel
under his spreading wings.
The nasi regime slapped on
Germans a new "excess income
tax" -and a high finance official
said that additional revenue
sources must be found to finance
the reich's needs Instead of bor
rowing as heretofore.
The German minister to Buda
pect paid two visits to the Hun
garian foreign office ostensibly to
obtain an explanation of the fight
ing in Slovakia, which Germany
has agreed to protect.
