Thm OflXGOIf STATESMAN. Salem. Ongon, Wadxwsdar Morning. February 21 1940 PAGE THREE Low PUD Rates Immediate Could Operate District at Profit Is Report of Commission Proposed people's utility . dis tricts In Coo's and Washington counties could be operated at a profit, although there would be little TJOftfiihilttT nf Immediate rate reductions, the state hydro electric commission declared In reports released here yesterday. The reports were based on the assumption that both districts would purchase facilities of ex isting power companies. . "An immediate substantial rate reduction is not indicated." the commission said in its " re ports on both "districts. "Rate reductions' would nor mally be made only when Justi fied by the financial condition of the districts and after the ac cumulation of. reserve funds -' to care for possible emergencies. There is a probability of the dis tricts being able to furnish to their people more electricity for the same revenue, resulting in less cost per kilowatt hour to the consumers. The report on the Coos county district said there had not yet been any assurance that Bonne ville power would be available there. Exclusion of sparsely settled areas of eastern and southern Coos county was recommended. This district would have an area of 898 square miles and popula tion of 30,478. The assessed val uation was fixed at $20,770,920. The existing power system is val ued at $3,060,885. The Washington county dis trict would embrace 551 square miles with a population of 35.290. The city of Forest Grove, which operates its own munici pal plant, would be excluded from the project. The hydro-electric commission recommended that all territory served by the municipal plant, both inside and outside the For est Grove boundaries, be exclud ed from the district. Assessed value of the district is $22, 42,214. Existing power facili ties were valued at $1,605,710. The commission recommended annexation of 20 square miles in the Sand Lake section to the Tillamook people's utility dis trict. Fifty potential customers could be served profitably through the annexation, officials said.

Washington's Constructive Genius, Wide Interests Lauded by Rossman The "constructive genius" of George Washington as landown er, husbandman and scientific farmer was the subject of an ad dress by Supreme Court Justice George Biossman given before the Kiwania club at its regular lunch eon meeting yesterday noon. "Washington had a great Inter est in the purchase of real estate throughout his life," Rossman said. "By the time he was 21 he owned 1058 acres ot land which he had bought with money earned as a surveyor." In Florida. Ohio and along the Potomac river in Virginia, Wash ington held large parcels of land, the justice continued. "In 1763 he began managing the Dismal swamp project which after his death netted his executors over $18,000 in dividends to say noth ing of handsome profits during Washington's life. Jlere he devel oped 40,000 acres For settlement." Washington's Interests as a builder were described by the speaker. "At Mt. Vernon were a mill, brick yard and tannery, all of which were carefully managed." The first president was also an ardent student of agricultural me thods, and had many volumes in his private library devoted to that subject. "Washington lived at about the same time as Napoleon Bona parte," the speaker - concluded. "Napoleon was probably endowed with greater genius than Wash ington, but in the end he saw the results of his efforts disappear, while Washington saw the fruits of his labors remain Intact and flourishing. No man is truly great unless he can see the vital moral issues of his time, and this Wash ington did."
