By FRANK rfERBERT
WEST SALEM Both sides
concerned with West Salem's
Bonneville power bond Issue elec
tion will wind up their ' cam
paigns today in preparation for
tne ueciaing nauot tomorrow.
The city hall polls will be open
from 8 a. m. to t p. m. and
voting is expected to be heavy,
An outline" of main controver
sial issues can . be found in a
booklet called "Facts" published
and distributed in West Salem
by the Willamette Valley division
of the Portland General Electric
company, 'and the official answer
to this booklet issued by the
local Council's power - committee.
One of the Questions asked by
tne power company in their book
let was "Whf are promoters try
ing to rush tne municipal power
scheme through it a special elec
tion?" The power company al
leged thtt those in favor of the
Question are rushing It . through
at a special election because they
don't want the great mass of
the people to rote. In answer to
this. City Attorney; Elmer D.
Cook and members ox - the power
committee quoted President Pol
nemus of PGE, " who last- March
admitted that it would be better
tor West Salem to call a special
election rather than risk going
PUD, because. West Salem could
sell Bonneville power cheaper
than PUD!
Another ' euestlon' asked In
Tacts" was "Why Is municipal
ownership being urged when West
Salem" cleetrle rates are already
lower than the'rate Of nearly all
fax-subsidl-ted utilities In Ore-
ton?" Asserts tion of the power
company Wag that ' residents of
four Oregon7 Communities served
If municipal potter systems pay
fort per kilowatt hour.- than
West Salem" residents pay- "PGE
sH the present time. "
Official answer of the power
committee wo, TVe would Jike
(c- know- t?ky - PGE company
dMn't dedhicl monies paid by the
utilities of . these four epmmuni
fles from the compared rates as
they did for themselves. For ex
ample. Forest Grove pays to the
general , fund in lieu of . taxes
11.97 per capita. PGE company
pays less than 88 cents per cap
ita to ' the . city . and scnooi in
West Salem. Such a deduction
would bring the Forest Grove
rates far below those of PGE
company."
Third question was, "How much
of the 380,000 that Welt Salem
residents are being asked to put
up will be spent outside the city,
where property can't be taxed If
the power scheme goes sour?"
PGE- accused promoters ot the
municipal' power issue of plan
ning -to build lines outside -the
city in competition- with the pow
er company and said that $80,-
090 was "too much."
In answer to this the power
committee agreed that ?80,090
Is too much, but said, "We know
from' the. experience of others
that severance damages asked by
the company will in all proba
bility be - as much as these out
side lines are wortn. Tne city
council adopted a resolution that
In no event win they tit con
demnation - proceedings and that
If the power company, feloaeg .to
sell the lines la this district at
reasonable assessed - ftirnre.
West Salem will do as Monmouth
hat. done; 1. e.,, bull 4 a complete
new system within the city limits
only. PGE's franchise 'expired a
year ago so we will not be called
upon to compete witn tnem .witn-
ln the city." . ;
"Why does ordinance 113 per
mit the city council to fucttr debt
in excess of the $8 0.00 f bond
issue West Salem Is being asked
to .approver the booklet asked.
The power company accused the
city council of planning to incur
debts . in excess of the 110.000
in answering this- Question. PGE
said the city council could do
anything It planned because et a
"joker" . clause inserted la the
ordinance. : .
This was denied by the back
ers ; of Bonneville, who' claimed
that, state laws do not permit
expenditure ; of . money ' not . ap
propriated and all Donas nave
to be voted by the people.
Fifth Question asked by the
power" company r was, - Why does
the proposed orainanee lor issu
ing $80,000 of general obliga
tion bonds authorize new,' special
tax levies every year?" Inference
of the power company .in this
Question was that the council
planned to boost taxes each 'year
to support tne municipal power
system.- '-.;
In answering tnis question tne
council's power, committee . said,
