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."
