but two -weeks away, efforts to
disseminate information regard
ing the Question are being rapidly
accelerated by. t h e West Salem
city council. Meeting ; tonight, at
the city . hallthe council : heard
remarks concerning . the issue
from two persons closely Interest
ed (n the workings ot two phases
of the proposed . power system.
George Hlbbert. manager of the
Portland district of .the Bonneville
power- administration;, and C. T?
Ellison, 'i connected i with . 'Mon
mouth's munlcipally-owned power
system. ::r'i r.r . ".: '
Hlbbert answered Questions con
cerning more complicated sections
of the municipal power problem
and devoted some time to explan
ation of relatives power cost fig
ures in. communities now purchas
ing Bonneville power.
Ellison, now associated with a
system which he said " for all
practical purposes can be com
pared to the system proposed for
West Salem, explained that the
$34,500 Monmouth project Is only
about 40 per cent completed and
is expected to be finished around
November 1. He emphasized that
allowances must be made for the
difference between the V4 pole
miles and 64 wire miles of Mon
mouth's system and that planned
for West Salem. West Salem has
only five miles of streets. City
Attorney Elmer D. -Cook pointed
out,
"Taxes of 11022 which It is es
timated the power company would
pay West Salem In the coming
fiscal year would be more than
offset by Income from a-municipally
owned power system using
Bonneville power," Cook said.
"Income from such a system
would enable ns to cut our city
budget way below Its present lev
el." he asserted.
The council also received and
accepted the quarterly report ot

follows:

and costs, SIS 9, including ball

"The board felt," Sloan said,
that In view ot the approaching
time when the corporation may
be in a position to enter Into
contracts with the government
to supply products required un
der the defense program, it must
of necessity accept, Mr. Knud-
