T Says Report Made by
.- Mayor's Advisors
. (Continued front pag 1)
relitigation made by competent
engineers and o,t h e r technical
counsel, and tbla committee la not
prorided with necessary funds
with, which to employ such coon-
eel.
.The report states-that a stndy
should be made on whether or not
a municipal power system should
include "rural area tributary to
the city and. If so, how much."
' This question of the area to be
served .has to be determined be
fore the costs of serrinK it and
ttte rates, to be charged can be
determined, upon which costs
and rates the adrisability of the
city going into the electric power
business aa compared with the
present serrlee can be . deter
mined."
TOD Might Block
Municipal Program
I On the Question of the pro
posed Marion county vuu tne re
port says:
,"Tie city of Salem may want
to go into the ownership and
. operation of the electric power
business within the city at some
time-in the future and we hare
been' informed that if the ma lor
try of the Toters within the city
rote in faror of the formation of
a public utility district, the city
will become a part of the district
and it is Questionable whether
It can withdraw at a later
date and engage in the power
business by itself."
No recommendation on the
proposed PUD was made, how
erer, "In order that the people
may. determine; f e r .themselres the

. Deplore Movement
Toward Duplication j
On the matter of the Salesn
Electric Cooperatlre, the report
states: ,
Attention Is ealled to the stite-
ments which hare been made by
the past and present administra
tors of the Bonnerille project,
Messrs. Ross and Rarer, and1 Pub
lic Utilities Commissioner Bean
and many other well-informed
persons, that duplication of elec-
. trie power facilities In any com
munity should be avoided at all
times, because it Is an economic
waste and usually results in In
creased costs of distribution I of
power in the community and, 'in
turn, higher rates to the con
timers.
Therefore, this committee be
lieves that a mistake has been
made in Salem In permitting
some such duplication by grant
lng a permit to the Salem Co
operative Electrical, association
and recommends that no further
permit for the Installation of ad
ditional pole be granted."
The committee of 15, express
ing its willingness to continue to
upervise the study provided
funds are made available and at
least (0 days time be given, ad
Journed until such time as it Is
again called by the council.

then there will be no attempt
